Nestled between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, lovingly known as Vizag, is Andhra Pradesh’s largest city and one of India’s most picturesque coastal destinations. As the host city for DemCon 2025, Vizag offers an ideal blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern infrastructure.
Visakhapatnam International Airport (VTZ) is well-connected with major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai. It also handles a few international flights. The airport is about 12 km from the city center and easily accessible by taxi or cab aggregators like Ola and Uber.
Vizag is a major railway junction with regular train services from most parts of India. The Visakhapatnam Railway Station is centrally located and offers convenient connections to the venue and nearby hotels.
Vizag is well connected via National Highways and has a good network of buses from nearby cities like Vijayawada, Hyderabad, and Bhubaneswar.
The city offers a wide range of accommodation—from luxury hotels with sea views to budget-friendly stays and boutique guesthouses. A list of recommended hotels with special rates for DemCon 2025 delegates will be shared shortly.
Auto-rickshaws, app-based cabs (Ola/Uber), and local buses are readily available. The city is easy to navigate and safe for travelers.
December in Vizag is pleasant and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C. Light cotton or linen clothing is recommended. Evenings can be slightly cool, so a light sweater or jacket may be useful.
