How do I get from Pudong Airport to central Shanghai?

Shanghai · Updated 2026-10 · From MeTravel's own trips

Metro Line 2 is cheap and goes straight to the centre; the Maglev is fastest but only runs to Longyang Road.

  • Maglev: about 8 minutes to Longyang Road, then change to Metro Line 2 into town.
  • Metro Line 2: direct to People's Square and Nanjing Road in about 1 hour.
  • Taxi or DiDi: easier with lots of luggage, about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic.

Note: pay for the metro with the QR code in Alipay or buy a ticket at the machines.
