Tips from Accorhotels.com
- When to go?
Autumn is the best season to visit Beijing in terms of climate, otherwise the 1st of October is a national holiday and will feature vast and varied celebrations.
- How to get around?
The Metro, bus and taxi system is fully reliable; otherwise you can cycle your way through the city, like most locals do, or even take a rickshaw.
- Good deals:
Since 2008 most of the city’s museums work with a free pass system, though the limited number of entries means that reservations are required.
