Destination & City Travel Guide
About Melbourne
Melbourne’s centre is organised on a grid, making it easy to pair Federation Square with nearby galleries and the Yarra riverfront. Queen Victoria Market and the Royal Botanic Gardens deserve separate outings rather than a hurried loop. Tram routes cover the inner city, while trains open coastal and regional day trips. Indian travellers often have relatives or university appointments here, so a flexible plan is useful. Melbourne Airport has no passenger rail station; the express bus reaches Southern Cross, where city trains and trams connect.

What's new in Melbourne
- November 2025: The Metro Tunnel opened with five underground stations, adding access to Parkville, the central city and the St Kilda Road area.
- February 2026: Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury trains switched fully to the tunnel, while Frankston services returned to the City Loop, changing useful interchange routes.
Tips for travellers from India
Southern Cross is convenient for a SkyBus arrival, while a stay nearer Flinders Street suits Federation Square and the river. Melbourne Airport still requires a road transfer; the Metro Tunnel is a city railway project, not an airport rail link. A hotel near the central tram network can simplify the final leg after the express bus.
The Free Tram Zone covers a defined central area, so check the boundary before riding towards the Royal Botanic Gardens or farther suburbs. Queen Victoria Market belongs to the northern side of the centre, while the gardens sit across the river from the main grid. The Metro Tunnel’s Town Hall and State Library stations connect with established central stations, and Anzac gives the St Kilda Road area another rail access point. At the airport, international flights use Terminal 2, while domestic airlines use other terminals. An onward flight within Australia therefore needs the domestic terminal indicated by the carrier, even when both legs appear on one booking.
Best time to visit Melbourne
March to May or September to November, roughly 11–24°C, for parks and streets.

About Tokyo
Tokyo is too large for a single-centre itinerary, so choose connected districts. Asakusa pairs Sensoji with older shopping streets, Ueno has museums and park paths, and Meiji Jingu provides a wooded pause near Harajuku and Shibuya. Narita Airport is far east of the city rather than in central Tokyo. Arriving visitors can use express rail or buses, but should decide first whether their accommodation is near Tokyo Station, Ueno, Shinjuku or another interchange.
Read more about Tokyo
Tips for travellers from India
Ueno is a useful base for a Keisei arrival from Narita and visits to its museums; Tokyo Station suits onward Shinkansen travel, while Shinjuku puts the western city close by. The Narita Express and Keisei routes serve different stations, so select the train for the accommodation district rather than taking the first express advertised. Narita is also a separate airport from Haneda, which matters on a connection involving two Tokyo bookings.
Air India’s Narita check-in is in Terminal 2 on the third floor. The airport has more than one rail stop serving its terminals, so use the terminal information with the train destination. Asakusa and Ueno make a sensible eastern-city pair, whereas Meiji Jingu, Harajuku and Shibuya form another day. The Toyota Arena Tokyo opened in the Odaiba area in October 2025, adding a sports and entertainment venue that needs a separate waterfront-area trip. An event there should not be fitted between Asakusa temple visits without considering the rail transfers. Sensoji’s approach through Nakamise is a shopping street as well as a route to the temple, while Ueno’s museums have individual admissions. Choose a particular collection rather than assuming that one park ticket covers every museum. Narita’s distance makes the final airport-train reservation part of the day’s itinerary.
Best time to visit Tokyo
March to May or October to November, about 10–24°C, for walking districts.
