Things to Do in Surat

Foodies will love the unique passion the city has for its mostly vegetarian cuisine. Hit the Surat-Dumas Road, where hawkers offer all ranges of food and dessert. Warning: Suratis like their food very spicy! Craving quiet time? Head over to the ISKCON Temple, located on the banks of the Tapti, which is peaceful and restive. This is a city of textiles—clothing, not instant messaging—so leave room in your suitcase for gifts. The Bombay Market in particular is a huge outlet for saris and fabrics.

It you want to sleep near the sound of ocean waves, booking Surat accommodation near the Arabian Sea is a great option. About 20 kilometres southwest from the city centre, Ubharat or Dumas Beach are two popular areas for travellers who are looking for hotels in Surat.

Getting to & Around Surat

Flights to Surat are easy to book, but note that the airport accepts domestic flights only, which means you must arrive through a connection from a major city, such as Delhi or Mumbai.

Another option, perhaps even easier, is train travel from any major city in India. Surat Railway Station is centrally located within the city and is on the Mumbai-Delhi-Ahmedabad line. Most Surat hotels will be easy to get to from the Railway Station and the airport. Once within the city, hiring rickshaws is the easiest way to get around.

Whether you’re imagining a walk along the Tapti riverfront or a visit to the city’s many temples, Wotif makes it simple to pull together a fantastic Surat holiday. Book your cheap hotel and getaway package in Surat now with Wotif for the best value on your holidays.
