Beijing is a fascinating metropolis where the splendor of imperial dynasties meets the energy of contemporary China. Among grand monuments, historic gardens, and ancient temples, every visit offers a new glimpse into its rich culture.
The former residence of Chinese emperors for nearly five centuries, it is a vast complex of courtyards and pavilions with sumptuous decorations. Today, the Palace Museum houses one of China's most important collections of art and historical artifacts.
One of the largest public squares in the world, it is surrounded by monuments and landmarks that symbolize Chinese history. It stands opposite Tiananmen Gate, the monumental entrance to the Forbidden City.
This religious complex, set within a large park, was where emperors prayed for abundant harvests. Its most famous building, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, stands out for its circular shape and vivid decorations.
A former imperial summer residence, it is a harmonious ensemble of pavilions, gardens, and pathways overlooking Kunming Lake. Don't miss the stroll along the Long Corridor, decorated with thousands of paintings.
One of the best-preserved and most spectacular sections of the Great Wall, it winds through forested mountains northeast of Beijing. Watchtowers and sweeping views make the excursion memorable in every season.
It is one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in China, known for its courtyards, statues, and incense burners. In the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Happinesses, there is an impressive wooden statue of Maitreya.

The metro is the most practical way to get around Beijing: it is extensive, affordable, and connects the airport with many of the main attractions. To enter the station and buy tickets, you’ll need to pass security checks, so allow a few extra minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are booked through apps, but traffic can make getting around slow, especially during rush hour. Chinese addresses are useful to show the driver, and offline maps can help you find your way. To visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall, check the connections in advance and whether any tickets or permits are required.
Spring and autumn are generally the most pleasant times, with mild temperatures: April and May, or September and October, are good months for sightseeing. Summer is hot, humid, and crowded, while winter can be very cold and windy. In spring, dusty days can occur; before you leave, check the forecast and air quality. During national holidays, especially the Golden Week at the beginning of October, attractions and transport can be very crowded.
To sample the local cuisine, look for restaurants specializing in Peking duck, jiaozi, and noodles, or explore the hutong alleyways and food markets. In places frequented by locals, you’ll often find regional dishes at reasonable prices; illustrated or translated menus can make ordering easier. Street stalls and markets offer a variety of specialties, but it’s best to choose busy spots where food is prepared fresh. If you have allergies or dietary needs, prepare a note written in Chinese to show the staff.
