Ahmedabad is Gujarat's largest city and India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (2017), a Sabarmati River metropolis where the walled Old City's carved-wood pols, Sultanate-era mosques, and Gandhi's Sabarmati Ashram sit alongside a fast-growing metro, riverfront promenades, and one of India's best vegetarian food cultures.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Manek Chowk food stalls start about 7PM; morning visitors see the vegetable market instead
Most vendors are vegetarian; non-vegetarian food is in Bhatiyar Gali near Jama Masjid
Gujarat is an alcohol-prohibited state, so food tours serve tea, chaas and sweet drinks, not alcohol
The AMC Heritage Walk starts from the Swaminarayan Mandir in Kalupur, and visitors must dress modestly at the temple and Jama Masjid
Meeting points and slots vary by operator, so confirm them on the booking page
Drink only sealed bottled water and eat at busy stalls with fast turnover
Prices in listings change; confirm on the operator's booking page
