About this place
Visakhapatnam, popularly known as Vizag, is the largest city in Andhra Pradesh and a compelling blend of industry and coastal charm. Often called the "Goa of the East," it draws visitors with its long stretches of unspoilt sandy beaches, well-maintained parks, and a relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Beyond the shoreline, Vizag offers a rich historical layer, including significant ancient Buddhist sites and a scenic hinterland that reaches the Araku Valley. With a population of around two million, the city is a major commercial hub that still manages to feel welcoming for leisure travelers seeking both nature and culture.

Planning Tips
- Book trains well in advance — Popular routes to and from Vizag fill up quickly; reservations open online, but availability can be tight even a month ahead.
- Use the APSRTC bus network — City buses, especially the blue-and-white Metro Express fleet, provide an affordable and reasonably comfortable way to navigate the main routes and outlying areas.
- Consider a monthly RTC-Pass — If staying a while and exploring widely, a city bus pass offers unlimited travel within city limits for a very low cost.
- Reserve APSRTC long-distance buses early — For comfortable Volvo (Garuda) services to cities like Chennai or Hyderabad, booking at least three days ahead is advisable.
