Destination & City Travel Guide
About Riyadh
Riyadh is spread over a wide area, so choosing a few linked stops works better than trying to cross it repeatedly. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress introduce different periods of Saudi history; Diriyah, west of the centre, shows Najdi building traditions. Kingdom Centre supplies a city view. King Khalid International Airport is north of town, and the Yellow metro line gives some travellers an alternative to the road trip.

What's new in Riyadh
- January 2026: The redeveloped International Terminal 2 opened at King Khalid Airport, completing the Terminals 1 and 2 improvement project.
- February 2026: Airport operations were reassigned, putting foreign international airlines in Terminal 5 and changing the arrival point for many overseas travellers.
Tips for travellers from India
Olaya is useful for a stay centred on offices and Kingdom Centre, while Diriyah requires a separate western excursion. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress belong to the older southern part of Riyadh, so grouping them reduces repeated cross-city transfers. The Yellow metro line provides an airport link, but a final interchange or road connection may still be necessary for the hotel.
Airport terminal advice published before February 2026 can point passengers to the wrong building. Match the airline’s updated terminal to the relevant metro stop or taxi destination. Terminals 1 and 2 handle Saudi carriers’ international operations; Terminals 3 and 4 serve their domestic flights. A domestic connection can therefore involve a change of building even when the same carrier operates both legs. Diriyah’s At-Turaif heritage area and dining district have their own booking arrangements, so select the intended attraction rather than assuming one admission covers the entire development. Plan the outdoor heritage visit separately from an indoor National Museum afternoon.
Best time to visit Riyadh
November to March, roughly 10–28°C, for outdoor districts.

Riyadh airport information
King Khalid International Airport (RUH). Following the February 2026 reassignment, Terminals 1 and 2 serve Saudi airlines’ international flights, Terminals 3 and 4 their domestic services, and Terminal 5 foreign airlines’ international flights. Indian airlines are foreign carriers in Saudi Arabia, so their Riyadh flights use Terminal 5.
About Seoul
Seoul rewards a district-by-district plan. Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon frame a day around older streets, while Myeongdong and Hongdae show different sides of its shopping and café culture. The Han River provides walking and cycling space between built-up neighbourhoods. Incheon International Airport lies west of the city on an island; its rail link makes Seoul Station a useful first point for many visitors arriving from India. Check the final metro connection before choosing a late arrival.

What's new in Seoul
- May 2025: Photography Seoul Museum of Art opened, adding a dedicated photography venue to the city’s museum choices.
- January 2026: Asiana Airlines moved from Incheon Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, changing the airport building and rail stop used by its passengers.
Tips for travellers from India
Hongdae is useful for an airport-rail arrival and an evening in its surrounding streets, while Myeongdong puts central shopping closer. A palace-focused stay can favour the Jongno area instead. The Airport Railroad’s express and stopping trains serve different purposes: the express links the airport with Seoul Station, while stopping services reach additional interchanges. Choose according to the hotel district.
Asiana moved to Terminal 2 on 14 January 2026, so older guides that send its passengers to Terminal 1 are out of date. Incheon’s official app and flight information identify the correct terminal before a return train ride. Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon belong together geographically, but Bukchon includes residential lanes and should be approached as a lived-in neighbourhood. Hongdae is a separate western outing rather than the next stop on a palace walk. The Han River also has many access points; select a particular riverside park instead of navigating to the river in general. That choice determines the useful metro station and prevents an unnecessary crossing of Seoul.
Best time to visit Seoul
April to May or September to October, about 10–24°C, for outdoor districts.
