The best time to visit Shanghai is from April to June and from September to November, when the weather is mild and pleasant. In spring, temperatures range between 15 and 25°C, the parks are in bloom and the air is clearer. Summer (June to September) is hot and humid, often above 30°C, with sudden showers and occasional typhoons. Autumn is the most enjoyable season, with blue skies, low humidity and temperatures between 18 and 26°C. In winter (December to February), the cold is damp and penetrating, around 3 to 10°C, and some buildings have limited central heating. In short, it is better to avoid the summer months due to the oppressive heat and favour spring or autumn, ideal for exploring the city, strolling along the Bund or wandering through the lanes of the former French Concession.

In Shanghai, parking is often a challenge: street spaces are scarce, paid and strictly monitored. It is therefore better to use underground car parks or those in shopping malls and hotels rather than risk a fine or towing. Caution is essential when driving, as traffic is dense and scooters or pedestrians do not always follow the rules. The city is equipped with an extensive camera network: speeding, running red lights or illegal stops are detected automatically, and fines are issued without human intervention. In addition, some central areas, especially within the inner ring road, are subject to traffic restrictions for vehicles registered outside Shanghai, particularly during peak hours. To avoid problems, it is best to plan your routes, respect traffic signs and favour official parking facilities.
À savoir
There is a city pass for visiting Shanghai called the Shanghai Pass, available as a physical card or via the Alipay app. It allows you to pay for public transport, access several attractions and benefit from discounts in shops and restaurants. Alongside it, the standard Public Transportation Card is used only for travel, while some private passes such as the Go Shanghai Pass bundle entries to various attractions. The Shanghai Pass therefore remains the most practical and cost-effective option for a short stay.
The official currency in Shanghai, as in the rest of China, is the renminbi yuan, abbreviated RMB. Its symbol is ¥, and its international code is CNY (Chinese Yuan).
