TOO many PLACES: OVERCOMING THE PARADOX OF choice

Last Updated: 5/6/21 | may 6th, 2021

“Hvor skal jeg hen?” is a question I frequently ask myself.

A couple of years ago, wanting to escape the oppressive summer heat of Austin, I spent months staring at a map but unable to answer that question.

I toyed with the idea of heading to Madagascar, Hawaii, Malta, the Caribbean, the Maldives, Dubai, and Sri Lanka.

And because I couldn’t choose and was so afraid to commit to a single destination, I didn’t decide until two weeks before my trip where I wanted to go (which made planning a last-minute pain).

Years later, and after over a year spent in lockdown during COVID, this is a process that continues to play out over and over again

This is what psychologists call “choice overload” or “analysis paralysis.”

Humans only have a limited amount of decision-making power each day. It’s why people like routines. It makes life easier. choice overload occurs when we have too many choices available to us. We get decision fatigue and go with the default option thus avoiding making a decision altogether. We are sometimes so paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice that they don’t make any choice.

Think of standing in the cereal aisle. We have all these options right in front of us, but we keep going back to our old favorite, Fruity Pebbles. (Or, Cinnamon toast crunch if we’re feeling adventurous!)

We may want to try something new, but we can’t figure out what we want the most — there are just too many options! how do we choose? how do we know we won’t make the wrong choice? So, paralyzed with indecision, we go back to what we know. And, if we don’t have a favorite, often we just choose what is popular and familiar.

Contemplating our options can become such a taxing mental burden that we don’t make a decision. That’s why our minds want shortcuts. It’s how we process all the information thrown at us each day. It’s too difficult to think about every simple decision all the time. going with what you know and is familiar is how we shortcut our analysis paralysis.

(This is all explained in the 2004 book The Paradox of Choice, which I highly recommend reading.)

Think of the world as the proverbial cereal aisle. We’re looking forward to picking a cereal (a destination), but suddenly realize we have too many options. faced with so many choices and without a strong opinion (e.g., I really want to go to Thailand this fall!), we stare blankly, wondering if picking a destination is the right choice, so we end up (a) fretting about it for months like I did, missing flight deals and precious planning time or (b) end up with what is big, popular, and familiar (let’s just visit Paris for the tenth time!).

Whether we have two weeks, two months, or two years, deciding where to go is the hardest part of travel. once you have the time, picking the destination becomes a task of whittling down a long list of “must-see” destinations.

I often get so paralyzed by choice that I don’t book a trip until the last minute, and even then, I often suffer from buyer’s remorse. Did I really want to book that flight to Dubai? Or should I have gone to Madagascar instead? If I do this trip, will I have time to visit Peru later this year, or should I just go to Peru now?

Of course, when I get to where I’m going all of that second-guessing melts away and I have the time of my life.

If you’re a long-term traveler, you can go anywhere for as long as you want. but when you only have a limited amount of time — because you’re like me and slowing down, or because you just have a few weeks off from work and need to make the most of them — you have to be more selective.

So how do you narrow down your destinations, get on with your trip planning, and not suffer the anxiety that comes with choice overload?

This experience has given me a new philosophy on trip planning. I’ve changed how I decide on destinations:

First, embrace variety. You’re always going to be overwhelmed by choice. There will always be more destinations to visit than you have time to see. The list of places to visit will only get longer the more you travel, not shorter. Don’t fight it. recognize it and don’t let it control you. This is just a fact of life.

Second, start with a list of the ten places you want to visit the most. Come up with the destinations that are at the top of your mind. since I haven’t been able to travel for a year, I’m planning to visit some new destinations (like Oman and the Balkans) while also visiting some favorites like Greece.

Third, figure out when you can go and how long you have. because some destinations will require more time. And, since it’s better to do less not more when you travel, how long you have will affect the destination you pick.

Fourth, think of the time of year. Which country has the weather you want to enjoy the most? I’m trying to escape the heat of Austin this summer, which is why I’m going on a road trip so I can beat the heat and not sweat to death in Texas. If you’re traveling in the winter, chances are you want to skip the cold and head somewhere sunny.

Fifth, make the length of your travels proportional to the size of the country. If I only have a couple of weeks, I’ll likely skip large countries like India, Brazil, or China and save them for when I’m planning a longer trip. If I just have a couple of weeks, I’ll focus on smaller destinations that I can explore more in-depth during a shorter period of time.

Finally, find the cheap flights. Out of your list of destinations, where are the cheapest flights? For example, on a trip a few years ago when I was going to Dubai, it was $1,700 USD add on Madagascar but only $400 to go to the Maldives. However, thanks to airline miles, it was $0 to get to and from Sri Lanka. That made the choice easy.

***
Once I stopped letting too much choice keep me from making a decision and after logically going through my checklist, I stopped hemming and hawing about where I wanted to go, found my destinations, booked my trip, and got on with getting excited about visiting new places.

Gør det samme. start with your list and refine it using the above criteria until you narrow the selection down to the place(s) that makes the most sense to visit right now. The other destinations will be there for future trips!

Overcoming choice overload in travel is about first realizing that there will always be more places to visit than you have time, then figuring out what destinations fit what you can do right now. once you start with your list of destinations, getting down to the perfect one becomes a process of elimination.

There will always be too many destinations to choose from and too little time to see them in.

But, at the very least, we can finally break our analysis paralysis.

3 Alternative ruiner på Yucatan -halvøen

Riviera Maya i det sydlige Mexico er et område velsignet med dejlige strande, velsmagende mad, venlige mennesker samt en dyb, rig historie. Med verdensberømte naturlige vidundere som Chichen Itza og fremtrædende strandruiner som Tulum er det ikke overraskende, at over 4 millioner turister ser denne solskinede kystlinje hvert år.

Men med så mange turister kan de store steder pakket med mennesker. Derfor skal jeg i dag med at liste 3 alternative ruiner, der er lige så fascinerende, dog ikke så fulde af besøgende, såvel som ligeledes giver dig et par tip til at sikre dig, at du gør det allerbedste af din rejse til en fantastisk sydlig Mexico .

Hvornår skal man besøge

Den fineste tid til at se Yucatan -halvøen såvel som Maya Riviera er i den tørre sæson begynder i slutningen af ​​november såvel som ender i februar. Der er langt mindre regn i løbet af denne tid såvel som temperaturen er ikke så varm, som den kan være i sommermånederne.

Hvor man skal bo

Der er masser af placeringer til at bo i hele Maya Riviera. Vi kunne godt lide Cancun, Isla Holbox såvel som Isla Mujeres, men for at besøge ruiner er du måske meget bedre til at basere dig selv i Merida, Tulum eller Valladolid, hvor der er mange ture til tæt på websteder samt fremragende logiindstillinger. Hvis du er på et budget, skal du inspicere et par af de allerbedste vandrerhjem i Merida, såvel som hvis du er en avanceret rejsende, har LuxurRetreats.com nogle dejlige egenskaber i regionen.

Hvad man skal medbringe

Hver gang du besøger ruiner i Mexico, skal du altid medbringe en hel del vand, solskærm såvel som bugspray. Et par af ruinerne i Mexico ligger i tætte jungler, hvor solen muligvis ikke er så meget af et problem, men insekterne kan være en smerte. Undervurder aldrig de ekstreme klimaer i Yucatan (selv om vinteren). Bliv fugtgivet såvel som ud af solen så meget som muligt, især mens du udøver dig selv klatringstrin såvel som at tjekke templer.

1. Ek Balam

Placering: Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico

Indgangsgebyr: 181 MXN ($ 9,80)

Konstruktionsdato: 100 f.Kr.

Tid til at besøge: 2-4 timer

Sandsynligvis vores yndlingssted på hele Yucatan -halvøen, EK Balam (hvilket betyder Black Jaguar i Maya), kan prale af den største pyramide i den nordlige Yucatan på 31 meter. Webstedet er kun 41 km nordøst for Chichen Itza, og det er hus til graven til Alfonzo Lacadina, en maya -konge begravet i den primære pyramide.

Besøgende kan gå rundt i det arkæologiske spørgsmål i timevis og søge gamle klippeskæringer, malerier, defensive vægge såvel som buegange. Du kan ligeledes klatre på 106 trin til toppen af ​​den primære pyramide for en fantastisk udsigt over de nordlige Maya -lavland.

2. Dzibilchaltun

Placering: nord for Mérida

Indgangsgebyr: 134 MXN ($ 7,25)

Konstruktionsdato: 200 e.Kr.

Tid til at besøge: 1-2 timer

En ekstremt vanskelig ruin at udtale (tzibil-chaltoon) dette gamle maya-sted er en mere, der konkurrerer med ærefrygtfaktoren for Chichen Itza såvel som alligevel kun ser en brøkdel af skarer. Fundet ca. 30 km nord for Merida var dette sted strategisk udviklet tæt på det kystproducerende område, mens det stadig findes i en frugtbar såvel som beboelig landmasse.

Dette sted blev kontinuerligt besat i utallige år, helt indtil den spanske erobringstid i 1519. Dens mest berømte struktur er templet for de syv dukker, så navngivet siden syv små (og noget uhyggelige) effigier, der blev fundet inde Templet, da det blev udgravet i 1950’erne.

Besøgende kan stadig se dukkerne på On Site Museum såvel som der ligeledes er mange andre bygninger, der skal tjekkes, inklusive ruinerne af et Colonial Open -kapel. Hver bygning er forbundet med Sacbe (White Road) såvel som der er en dejlig cenote på grunden, så sørg for at medbringe din badedragt.

3. Mayapan

Sted: 40 km sydøst for Mérida

Indgangsgebyr: 35 MXN ($ 1,80)

Konstruktionsdato: A.D. 1200-1542

Tid til at besøge: 3 – 5 timer

Hvis du ønsker at forhindre skarer af Chichen Itza, mens du stadig nyder en lignende stil med maya -ruin, kan du måske finde til Mayapan, fordi den primære struktur lige her blev modelleret efter Chichen Itzas berømte pyramide.

Mayapan er 4,2 kvadratkilometer såvel som over 4000 strukturer at udforske, så give dig selv gode tilbud. De fleste af bygningerne var boliger, pakket i forbindelsen inden i bymurene. Udbyggede områder strækker sig omkring 500 meter ud over bymurene i alle retninger. Stenens omkredsvæg har 12 porte, inklusive syv betydelige dem med dejlige hvælvede indgange.

Ifølge Dr. Bradley Russells undersøgelse, der blev offentliggjort i 2008 som hans doktorgraddissertatioN, i Mayapan’s spidsbelastningsperioder var der mellem 15.000 såvel som 17.000 mennesker, der boede inden for bymurene.

Det primære tempel lige her såvel som det, der blev modelleret efter Chichen Itza, forstås som templet til Kukulcan (alias Castillo af den spanske) såvel som det findes øst for Cenote Ch’en Mul, som du ligeledes kan planlægge At svømme ved under dit besøg.

Undgå skarer, fordybet sig i historien

Med færre mennesker på hvert af disse websteder har du en meget bedre chance for virkelig at fordybe dig i historien. Det er nemt at gå rundt på disse historiske steder samt forestille sig, hvordan livet må have været som for 2000 år siden.

Nogle gange er det værd at ansætte en guide, mens andre gange er det bare sjovt at gå rundt i ruinerne såvel som at prøve at sammensætte historien selv. Én ting er helt sikkert, disse 3 maya -ruiner forbliver væk fra den primære turiststi, så du får en følelse af oplevelse, mens du tjekker dem. God fornøjelse!

Or, if you are like me, afraid shitless.

The underground vaults were developed in 1788 as well as utilized as storage area as well as workshops for services near the South Bridge. However, the bridge was poorly constructed, as well as water from the surface would leak down into the vaults. The vaults were then abandoned in 1795 as well as ended up being slums, turning into a red-light district with many brothels as well as pubs.

Additionally, the city’s bad called these vaults home. The spaces were cramped and dark and had poorly circulated air as well as no sunlight, running water, or sanitation. criminal offense was widespread, however by 1820, the leaking ended up being so intense that even the squatters left.

The story I keep in mind a lot of is of a woman as well as her mother. The bit woman felt somebody get hold of her hand. believing it was her mom, she grabbed back. however the hand, according to the story, “felt weird” as well as slowly kept squeezing her hand up until it hurt. When the woman said, “You’re hurting me,” the mom said, “I’m over here, honey.” The guide, moving the flashlight to the girl, discovered that she was standing alone. who held her hand? exactly how did she get separated? Jeg ved ikke. perhaps they made the story up. Or all the other stories for that matter. however moving with the vaults in the dark, with your mind in overdrive, produces an environment of unease that you want on a ghost tour.

Tropical Resort: Where to stay in Langkawi, Malaysia

“You’re the first Filipinos to check in at this resort this year,” the manager told us after checking out. It was our second and last day in Langkawi. We spent the previous night at tropical resort in Pantai Tengah.

It was a shame to leave this early. I loved the island and I wished I could stay longer but we needed to get moving to Penang. The manager and staff were just starting to warm up to us. just the day before, we arrived at tropical resort after a full-day trip of the island and everyone seemed to be so busy. The manager was the only one at the reception, taking calls, welcoming guests, and doing a quick trip of the resort. Unlike many hotel-owners I had met in Malaysia, he was not really friendly at first; very straight forward with no effort to connect with us. but I guess he was just swamped that afternoon.

That evening, he was a different man. He initiated conversations, showed interest in where we would be going next, and shared suggestions on how we could make use of our very cramped time backpacking along the West coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Tropical resort seems to always cut to the chase. One look at their site and you’ll be amazed and amused by their hatred towards highfalutin words. On their homepage, they’re declaring war against nonsense: We are a WYSIWYG establishment, in other words, what you see is what you get. We also do not believe in abusing adjectives and adverbs to help sell our rooms. We are what we are… We are clean, quiet and real value for money. So, if you’re searching for a budget accommodation in Langkawi, without the hassle and hustle… your best option is tropical resort Langkawi.

And if you’re planning to book a room here, then that ought to serve as a sneak peek into your future experience with them. just like their vocabulary choices, they only offer the basic accommodation needs of a regular traveler — spacious rooms, clean bathrooms with hot and cold shower, a small library, a wi-fi connection (albeit in limited areas only), and an outstanding location. No more, no less. If you want a swimming pool or a highly equipped gym or a fancy restaurant as part of the amenities, then this is not for you. but this is one of the most affordable we found in Langkawi (USD36.67 per night for a twin room) so it was much more like a case of “you get what you pay for.”

Our twin bedroom
Badeværelse
Tropical resort is tucked in a quiet corner of Pantai Tengah, a stark contrast to the crowded and practically psychedelic Pantai Cenang, which can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Pantai Cenang is where many hotels, restaurants, and attractions are located but a walk was always a welcome treat for me, not a chore. Honestly, I believe it is the location that I liked best about this resort.

After a long evening walking along Pantai Cenang, we came back to the resort late in the evening and it was so dark. That’s probably the one thing that I did not like so much about the place. It was so dark at night I was starting to get scared. Note, though, that it was dark within the resort and not on the way there. and oh, there were mosquitoes, which they take care of by lighting several insect repellant coils every night.

We only stayed one night at tropical resort Langkawi and to put it succinctly, it was a pleasant. As they promised on their website, the it was clean, quiet, and affordable. maybe the resort doesn’t need flowery words to describe itself. When it concerns value for money, their guests will gladly offer the positive adjectives for them.

GREECE: ten YEARS later

Posted: 7/12/21 | July 12th, 2021

Jeg var bange. As I packed my bags, all these worries darted through my mind: would travel be just as fun and carefree as it was pre-COVID? would people still be hosteling? What would that vibe be like? would I even remember how to travel?

Sure, I was excited. I was going to Greece, a destination I hadn’t checked out in ten years!

But, as the world got back into traveling — as I got back into traveling — would it be so different I wouldn’t recognize the experience?

And what about Greece itself? how different would it be after so long, not only because of the flourish in influencer-driven selfies from the islands but also a year without tourism?

Before every trip, my afraid inner self worries about all the things that could go wrong. It screams my lingering fears and anxieties about, well, everything. I don’t let these fears stop me from traveling, but, even after all these years on the road, the old me is still there in the back of my mind, fretting about everything.

It turns out travel is just like riding a bike. As soon as I touched down in the Athens airport, my brain went on autopilot and, before I knew it, I was reading a book on the subway into town as if I had done it a million times before.

Because I had. Subways work essentially the same anywhere in the world.

And all those worries? They were for nothing. traveling in the age of COVID just indicates a lot more paperwork and a mask now and then. before my flight, I had to show my vaccination card and proof I had submitted Greece’s health screening form, as well as answer a barrage of additional questions. Masks were required on the plane, and there were paper checks when you landed. and there are health forms to be submitted before taking any ferries.

But beyond that, everything else is (mostly) the same. traveling through Greece ideal now, you don’t see lots of people wearing masks. It’s too hot, and a lot of people (at least on the islands) are vaccinated. Servers, bus drivers, some hotel staff, and taxi motorists wear them about 50% of the time. If you go into a museum or public building, you are required to wear them but it’s not common to see people in public walking around with masks.

Greece is as magical as I remember it. It’s still the land of blazing suns, picturesque landscapes, olive groves, azure water that beckons to you, jovial locals who talk with such rapidity and vigor that you think Greeks only communicate by yelling, refreshing wines, and out-of-this-world food with a variety that never seems to end. (And, ten years later, Greece is still exceptionally affordable.*)

I’m now in my third week here. I started off in Athens before swiftly heading off to Naxos, Ios, and Santorini, then arriving in Crete, where I am now.

Naxos, my favorite island in the Cyclades, is still as quiet as it has always been, but there are a lot more shops, beach bars, and boutique hotels catering to a richer clientele. Thankfully, the island is so big that it’s easy for people to spread out; there’s hardly ever a crowd.

Santorini is way a lot more developed, with a lot more boutique hotels, fancy eateries, and bougie wineries. and the prices and crowds are just as crazy as I remember them to be (though not as much as Mykonos). As I said on my Instagram, I’m not a substantial fan of this island. There are just too lots of people concentrated in a space that can’t accommodate them.

But the crowds that descend on the island are still fairly muted compared to pre-COVID standards. There are fewer cruise ships each day and not as lots of regular travelers. If I’m finding it crowded now, I can’t even begin to think of how crowded it need to have been pre-COVID.

And the hostel scene I was so anxious about? Well, all over Greece, it’s still raging. Hostels are still the bustle of energy they used to be. Sure, they aren’t as crowded as before but I can say that hostel life has not been destroyed by COVID. While some hostels are limiting the number of people in dorms, hostels have been fairly crowded with plenty of backpackers seeking to meet other travelers.

Overall, I don’t feel like Greece has changed that much. Sure, credit scores cards are widely accepted now, prices are a bit higher, and there’s a lot more luxury stuff for tourists, but its essence hasn’t changed. It’s still got the same character.

(And Crete? Wow. What an extraordinary place. I am thankful I finally made it here. but a lot more on that later in a longer post just about this island.)

Being back in Greece has reminded me of the happiness of travel. sitting on the water’s edge, diving into a fish with a glass of white wine, I felt just so dang happy. I was feeding my body, but a lot more importantly, I was feeding my soul. Greece has been the antidote to the malaise I’ve felt considering that the pandemic began.

That year-plus of drifting denied me my passion in life: travel. What does one do when they can’t do what they love anymore? It wasn’t like I had made a decision to retire. I was forced to take a break.

Now, I am back at it and already have found that there is simply not enough time to do everything I want to. My month in Greece looks like it will turn into five weeks, and as I stare at a map of Europe and think, “Where to next?” my mind creates a million itineraries and possibilities.

But that is a Future Matt problem. present Matt has observed that it’s dinnertime here in Crete, and as the sun sets, another seaside restaurant in Chania, with its freshly caught fish and chilled glass of white wine, is calling me.

And that’s a call I simply can’t resist.

*Note: I’ll have a post on costs soon.

Fountain of riches at Suntec City, Singapore: The World’s largest Fountain

“It’s the largest fountain in the world,” my good friend Mimi stated as she ushered us out of the building to an alfresco area that harbored a shallow man-made pond.

“Den der?” I asked while flashing a look that excellently expressed disbelief. “That bit fountain at the center of the pond? That’s the largest in the world?” As the words came out of my mouth, the ideal side of my brain was sarcastically taunting the left, Am I being Punk’d?

Obviously, I had seen fountains bigger than that one. great deals of them. That fountain that geysered in the middle of the pond in the middle of Suntec City was absolutely not the greatest in the world. It would not even make it in my classification of massive, not even big. Heck, not even medium.

“Not that, silly,” Mimi corrected. She then led my eyes to the diagonal pillars that prolong from the ground as much as a few stories high. A gigantic sound overhead linked them. She directed at it as well as stated as-a-matter-of-fact-ly, “That’s the fountain. The whole location is the fountain, actually.”

Oh. Okay. Fantastiske.

The location is called the Fountain of Wealth. provided as the largest fountain in the world by the Guiness book of Records in 1998, it is the centerpiece at Suntec City, one of the greatest as well as a lot of prominent buying shopping centers in Singapore. The fountain is located at the center of five office buildings, which represent fingers as well as the fountain the palm. According to Feng Shui, it symbolizes wealth.

This gigantic fountain pertains to life only at night. The sound overhead sprays jets of water around the smaller fountain, while lights paint colors in the towering cylindrical fluid wall that develops as a result. The thin pond is likewise dotted with pin lights that terminate beams of light that add to the already wonderful environment of the place.

Screenshot of Suntec City shopping center page on YourSingapore.com
In the daytime, the bigger fountain rests as well as the small stream of water at the center takes the spotlight. however checking out this smaller fountain isn’t the only thing that you can do here. There’s a narrow boardwalk that runs across the water to the fountain that visitors can take to do a short ritual for great Luck. Here’s exactly how to do it:

Steps for the great things from the Fountain

Yes, yes, I did it, too. Not that I believe in it. I just wished to experience it considering that I was already there.

The genuine concern right here is: Is the Fountain of riches worth visiting? Well, honestly, not for me. however if you’re going to Suntec City to do some shopping, then you may also decrease by particularly at night.

Update: According to YourSingapore.com, the Fountain of riches will be closed from September 1, 2012 to June 2013 for upgrade. You may get in touch with Suntec City’s client hotline to be sure.

How to get here: Take the MRT as well as alight at Esplanade or Promenade Station. just comply with the signs. You won’t get lost.

Chubu Centrair international airport vs Nagoya Airport

Before anything else, note that Chubu Centrair international airport (aka central Japan international airport or simply Centrair) is different from Nagoya Airport. Centrair is now the primary gateway to Nagoya and central Japan. It is the greatest and busiest airport in the region and the eight busiest in the country, serving over 11 million travelers as of 2017.

Centrair (NGO) lies on a manmade island off the coast of Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture, 35 km from the center of Nagoya, 28-60+ minutes away, depending on your mode of transportation. If you’re coming from abroad, there’s a big chance that you will be using this airport.

Nagoya airport (NKM), on the other hand, used to be the main gateway until 2005 when the flights were moved to Centrair. It’s also called Komaki airport or Nagoya Airfield. It’s closer to Nagoya city center, only 20 minutes away, but only Fuji dream Airlines uses it commercially.

This post only covers Centrair.

Traveling by Train

The Chubu Centrair international airport has a train station which is part of the Meitetsu airport Line. This line connects the airport directly to the city centers of Nagoya, Gifu, and Inuyama.

On Hyperdia, you can find the airport station as “CENTRAL JAPAN international AIRPORT”, the Meitetsu Nagoya station as “MEITETSUNAGOYA”, and the Meitetsu Gifu station as “MEITETSU GIFU”.

There are three main types of trains operating to and from the airport:

Regular Train. This may be local or semi-express train. It will make a lot more stops along the way, which indicates longer journey. No reservation required.

Limited express Train. This makes fewer stops so the travel time is shorter. limited express Trains have both reserved seats and non-reserved seats. If you choose to reserve a seat, you will need to pay an additional ¥360 fee on top of the fare. If you don’t reserve a seat, make sure you board a non-reserved car.

μ-SKY (MU SKY) limited express Train. Running at 120km/hr, this is the fastest option and can take you to downtown Nagoya for only 28 minutes. It’s a top-quality train that features wheelchair-accessible restrooms with diaper-changing racks onboard and two luggage storage sections in each car, aside from the overhead racks. The seats also recline, making your journey a lot more comfortable. All seats are reserved so an additional ¥360 charge applies on top of the fare.

The train station is connected to the airport terminal building by an area called access PLAZA on the second floor.

Centrair to Nagoya City center by Train

At the Arrival Area, walk to the train station. You’ll see plenty of signs so just follow them.

At the station, board the train to Meitetsu Nagoya Station.

It’s that easy. travel time and fare depends on the type of train:

Regular train
Travel time: 48-60+ minutes
Fare: ¥870

Limited express train
Travel time: 37 minutes
Fare: ¥870 (if you choose to reserve a seat, + ¥360)

μ-SKY limited express Train
Travel time: 28 minutes
Fare: ¥870 + ¥360 reserved seat fee

Centrair to Gifu City by Train

Traveling by Bus

Centrair to Nagoya City center by Bus

Aside from the train, you can also take the Meitetsu airport Limousine Bus to get to several parts of the city. The bus leaves platform #6 of the Centrair Bus terminal and makes stops at a few areas in the city including Sakae and Fushimi-cho before terminating at Meitetsu Bus center at the Meitetsu Nagoya Station.

Here’s how to do it:

Walk to platform #6 of the Centrair Bus terminal and wait for your bus.

Board the bus and get a numbered ticket on your way in. There is a ticket maker inside, by the door, on your ideal side.

Before alighting at your destination stop, drop the numbered ticket and coins into the designated slots. If you’re paying with a ¥1000 bill, you can insert it in a separate designated slot.

You can also pay using Manaca, Meitetsu’s IC card, which will allow you to conveniently ride the buses and trains without having to pay in cash or purchase a ticket before each ride. If you have this card, you simply need to hover the card above the sensor. ICOCA, Pasmo, and Suica cards work fine too.

Travel time: 50 minutes to Sakae and 78 minutes to Meitetsu Nagoya Station.

Fare: ¥1200 (adult), ¥600 (child)

There’s a bus every hour from 08:15 am to 10:15 pm. Here’s the current schedule.
