Finest Metro Way To Reach Ramoji Film City
Hyderabad Metro does not go all the way to Ramoji Film City, but it covers most of the distance and avoids the worst city traffic. You ride the metro to one of two end stations on the eastern side of the city, L.B. Nagar or Nagole, and finish the last stretch by road. This guide shows which line to take from your area, where to change trains and how to cover the final part of the trip.
Nearest metro stations to Ramoji Film City
| Metro station | Line | Distance to Ramoji Film City |
|---|---|---|
| L.B. Nagar | Red Line (Miyapur to L.B. Nagar) | About 20 km by road |
| Nagole | Blue Line (Raidurg to Nagole) | About 22 km by road |
L.B. Nagar is usually the better choice because it sits right on the Vijayawada highway (NH 65), the same road that passes the film city gate. There is no metro line to Hayathnagar or the film city yet. An extension from L.B. Nagar to Hayathnagar is still in the planning stage.

A metro plus bus trip means two or three changes each way and a tiring journey back in the evening. GoldBox Holidays runs a Ramoji Film City bus with 50+ boarding points across Hyderabad. The bus picks you up near your area, takes you straight to the film city and drops you back at the same point. One route starts from BHEL at about 6:50 AM and another from Chandanagar at about 7:00 AM. Tickets and bus seats can be booked together on the Ramoji Film City tour page.
