✈️ Thinking About Traveling to Shanghai?
These Are the Tools I Use:
After traveling to over 40 countries and living in 4, I've learned which tools actually make things easier on the road. These are the websites and apps I always go back to when I'm planning a weekend away, booking longer trips, or figuring things out last minute with my family.
Places to Stay
- Booking.comMy go-to for most destinations.
- AgodaIdeal for hotels and other places to stay in Asia.
- Hotels.comSometimes Hotels.com has great deals, worth checking out if you're looking for places to stay in Shanghai.
Booking a hotel isn't something I take lightly, where you stay can shape your entire trip. I'm all about getting the best value, so I usually bounce between a few sites. Booking.com is my go-to for most destinations, while Agoda often has better deals in Asia. Hotels.com sometimes comes through with even sharper prices, so it's always worth comparing.
Booking Flights & Transportation
- SkyscannerCompare flights across airlines in seconds and find the best deals fast to Shanghai.
- Trip.comMany times I switch back and forth between Skyscanner and Trip.com looking for the best deal. Trip.com has great support but some times it is a hit or miss with finding the best deals. Trip.com works perfectly for booking trains in China and South Korea from my experience. I never used another platform in Asia for train tickets!
- ExpediaGreat for figuring out how to get from A to B whether it's a plane, bus, or ferry.
Things to Do
- GetYourGuideHas some unique tours, skip-the-line passes, and authentic local experiences in Shanghai. Especially great for solo travelers!
- ViatorIs similar to Get Your Guide but it can't hurt to check both to get the best deal!
- KlookOffers a more different variety of activities in Shanghai. Btw, they offer 5% off now for a user's first hotel booking in the app, when you use the code "HotelOnApp".
I usually like to explore on my own or ask locals or people that have visited a certain place a lot what the best things to do are. But that isn't always an option. With these websites I can explore what things there are to do in Shanghai and book something even last minute.
Stay Connected
- AiraloeSIM app I use to get online instantly in most countries. Especially useful when you arrive late in the evening and Sim Card shops are closed at the airport. It even works in China without a VPN so it saves you money as well from getting a VPN.
