Top Places to Visit in the City

Sabarmati Ashram

Located in northern Ahmedabad, the Sabarmati Ashram is the former residence of Mahatma Gandhi and his wife Kasturba Gandhi. Flanked by the serene Sabarmati River on either side, this ashram is immaculately preserved. It not only holds immense historical significance but also serves as a monument to the extraordinary life of the Mahatma.

Sabarmati Riverfront

The Sabarmati Riverfront is a stunning example of urban transformation along the river's banks. This recreational hub features a two-level promenade perfect for walking and cycling, vibrant flower parks, and the iconic Atal Foot Over Bridge. It serves as a popular venue for events, markets, and a peaceful escape in the heart of the city.

Kankaria Lake

Built in 1451 as Hauz-e-Qutub and recently converted into a recreation space, this large lake acts as a welcome respite from the hectic city buzz. It is the second-largest lake in Ahmedabad, surrounded by nature for those looking for a green break.

Adalaj ni Vav

Experience the magnificence of Adalaj Ni Vav, a stunning five-story stepwell located just outside Ahmedabad. This architectural marvel blends Solanki and Islamic styles, carved with intricate mythological scenes, floral motifs, and geometric patterns. Descend the cool, ornately carved steps to admire the incredible stonework and enjoy the natural air conditioning.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Museum

Creating history at an already hallowed address of an erstwhile palace (Moti Shahi Mahal), this museum is one of the most underrated experiences Ahmedabad has to offer. The museum is a rich repository of Patel’s life as a political leader and thinker.

Jhulta Minara Sidi Bashir Mosque

This historical landmark is known for its unique architecture that houses a playful mystery, which has stumped many an architect. Visitors throng to the mosque to see one of its two minarets shake and consequently make the other minaret vibrate, earning the mosque the moniker of the ‘Shaking Minarets’.

Siddi Sayed Mosque

The Sidi Sayed Mosque is famed for its exquisite architecture that features jali or lattice windows. Spider web fine, the intricate designs depict the intertwining branches of the ‘tree of life’ and is best viewed from the road that runs along the back of the mosque.

Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kalupur

The grand, multi-coloured, wood-carved Swaminarayan Temple was built in 1822 as the first temple of the Swaminarayan Hindu sect. The start of the daily Heritage Walk here at 8 am usually coincides with worship at the temple, making it a sight to behold.

Akshardham Temple

A masterpiece of pink sandstone architecture, the Akshardham Temple is a cultural oasis. Dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan, its intricate carvings and peaceful gardens offer a profound spiritual experience. Enjoy the vibrant cultural exhibitions and the spectacular Sat-Chit-Anand Water Show in the evening.

Sarkhej Roza

Sarkhej Roza is a tranquil complex known as the Acropolis of Ahmedabad for its elegant design. This Indo-Saracenic marvel includes a mosque, tombs of royalty and a Sufi saint, and a vast stepped tank. Its striking features are the intricate stone lattice-work (jali) and the absence of arches, creating an atmosphere of serene, grounded beauty.
