Explore Beijing.

Plan the practical details

Who this suits

For a first visit focused on history, neighbourhoods and museums. Choose the places you care about before adding a long list of stops.

How much time to allow

As a planning starting point, allow four full days: two for the city, one for a Great Wall outing and one for a slower museum or neighbourhood day. Add arrival and departure time separately.

What to combine

Choose Beijing as one base, then compare whether another city fits your available nights. Keep the travel day visible instead of treating it as another full sightseeing day.

Where to stay

Choose a hotel after deciding your main sightseeing area and daily transport. Ask for the walking distance to transport, step-free access and the room category in the proposal.

Getting here

Beijing Capital (PEK) and Beijing Daxing (PKX) are different airports. Share the airport code, flight and arrival time so the correct transfer or airport-train connection can be planned.

Before you visit

Check each museum or attraction directly before fixing your daily order. For the Palace Museum, consult the official English booking channel and bring the original ID used for the booking.
