Velankanni is well connected to the rest of Tamil Nadu, and reaching the town is fairly straightforward once you know your options. By rail, Velankanni has its own railway station with direct trains from Chennai and connecting services from other major cities, making it one of the easiest pilgrim towns to reach in the state.
If you prefer travelling by road, Velankanni is linked by good highways to Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Chennai and Puducherry, with regular private and government buses plying the route. Travellers coming from further away usually fly into Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) International Airport, which is roughly three hours by road, and continue their journey by taxi or bus.
Whichever route you take, the last stretch into town is short and simple, and most hotels can help arrange local pickup on request. Once you arrive, staying at a centrally located property like VPN Residency means you're only a short walk from the Basilica, so the final leg of your journey after a long trip is as easy as it gets.
