Destination & City Travel Guide
About Zurich
Zurich is compact enough to explore between train trips. The old town follows both sides of the Limmat, with narrow streets leading towards Lindenhof and church towers. Lake Zurich adds a waterfront walk or boat trip, and the city’s main station opens routes across Switzerland. Travellers from India may be using Zurich as an entry point for a longer holiday, but the centre offers a useful first day. Airport trains take around fifteen minutes to Zürich Hauptbahnhof.
Read more about Zurich
Tips for travellers from India
The area around Zürich Hauptbahnhof suits a short stay with onward Swiss rail travel, while an old-town hotel puts the Limmat lanes closer. Airport trains reach the main station, but some services continue beyond it, so read the platform display rather than assuming every train terminates in Zurich. A lakefront hotel may still need a tram or walk after the main-station arrival.
Lindenhof, the riverbanks and the old town can be connected on foot without a succession of tram rides. The streets rise away from the Limmat, making a river-level route easier with luggage than a detour through the hilltop lanes. A Lake Zurich boat trip is a separate scheduled service; choose the departure pier and return point rather than treating every lake boat as a circular sightseeing tour. The main station is also a useful boundary between a compact city visit and a longer Swiss excursion. Lucerne or mountain destinations need their own train plan and should not be treated as nearby Zurich neighbourhoods. For a brief stop, keep the old town and lakefront together, then return to Hauptbahnhof for the airport. A hotel across the lake or outside the central rail corridor changes that simple transfer pattern, so compare the complete route before selecting accommodation.
Best time to visit Zurich
May to September, roughly 12–25°C, for lake walks and boat trips.

About Shanghai
Shanghai is organised around the Huangpu River. The Bund looks across to Pudong’s towers, while Yuyuan Garden and nearby streets offer a different scale of buildings and shops. Museums and former lane neighbourhoods fill out a longer stay. Pudong International Airport is well east of central districts, so arriving visitors should decide whether a hotel is near People’s Square, the Bund or a metro interchange before choosing a transfer. The airport metro is useful, but its travel time is longer than the map may suggest.
Read more about Shanghai
Tips for travellers from India
People’s Square is useful for central metro connections, while the Bund suits a stay focused on the historic riverfront. A Pudong hotel places the towers on the same side of the Huangpu as the airport, but the district is large and the final station still matters. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road rather than the Bund itself; onward metro or road transport is needed. Metro Line 2 offers another route from Pudong Airport into the city.
Air India checks in at Terminal 2, at island K. The airport’s other terminal is a separate check-in building, and a domestic connection may require collecting bags and completing new departure formalities. Hongqiao is a different Shanghai airport, not another Pudong terminal. In town, the Bund promenade and a Pudong observation visit face each other across the river but need a crossing between them. Yuyuan Garden belongs to a smaller-scale old-city route, while People’s Square museums form another cluster. Museum of Art Pudong is on the newer waterfront side and has its own exhibition tickets. For a short visit, select one river crossing and build the day around the sights on either bank rather than repeatedly returning to the same metro interchange. Pudong Airport’s distance makes the last transfer a meaningful part of the departure day.
Best time to visit Shanghai
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.

Shanghai airport information
Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Air India operates from Pudong Terminal 2, with check-in at island K. Both main terminals handle domestic and international operations, so flight type alone does not identify the correct building.
