Travel guides for every city

Nine practical guides for each of 199 destinations — what it costs, when to go, what to pack, how to get around and what not to do.

What's inside

Every guide we write, city by city

Each one is built from that city's own data — not a template with the name swapped in.

Connected 1-, 2- and 3-day plans that account for opening hours, light and where you'll be at lunch.

Season by season — the weather you'll actually get, and the festivals worth planning around.

A season-aware packing list, built from the city's own climate and the kind of places you'll visit.

An honest read on the city — solo and women travellers, the common scams, and the emergency numbers.

Getting in, getting around and getting to the next city — metros, autos, app cabs and trains.

What a day really costs at three comfort levels, plus cash, cards, UPI, ATMs and tipping.

Local etiquette: temple manners, dress, photographing people, greetings, bargaining and the table.

The year ahead — what's on when, from city fixtures to the national calendar.

Where to shoot, at what hour and from which angle — with the outfit colours that read well there.
