Destination & City Travel Guide
About Frankfurt
Frankfurt can be seen in a compact central circuit despite its role as a major air hub. Römerberg anchors the old town, the Museum Embankment runs along the Main, and the Städel Museum merits time indoors. Palmengarten is a separate green stop. Frankfurt Airport has both local and long-distance rail stations, so travellers from India can reach the central station quickly or continue directly to another German city without entering the centre first.

What's new in Frankfurt
- April 2026: Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3 began operations, receiving airlines transferred from Terminal 2 and changing the departure building for those passengers.
- April 2026: The new Sky Line connection accompanied Terminal 3’s launch, linking it with the northern terminals and the airport railway stations.
Tips for travellers from India
A stay near Hauptbahnhof is useful for onward rail travel, while the old town suits a short visit centred on Römerberg and the river. The airport has separate regional and long-distance railway stations: local S-Bahn trains into Frankfurt and intercity trains do not necessarily use the same platforms. Read the service type before following a railway sign, particularly when connecting directly to another German city.
Terminal 3 is on the airport’s southern side. The new Sky Line takes about eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3, so a rail arrival still needs a terminal transfer for a flight departing there. In town, link Römerberg with a crossing of the Main and the Museum Embankment. The Städel is a substantial collection visit, while Palmengarten is a separate botanical-garden outing away from that river circuit. A short connection is better spent in one central cluster than split between the river museums and Palmengarten. Use the actual flight terminal for the return, since older Terminal 2 directions may be obsolete.
Best time to visit Frankfurt
May to September, roughly 12–25°C, for river walks and gardens.

About Colombo
Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.
Read more about Colombo
Tips for travellers from India
Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.
Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.
Best time to visit Colombo
December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.
