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 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.
