Having established itself as a highly developed city, Surat has become the major commercial centre of Gujarat. It is the second largest city in the state and stands at third position among the cleanest cities in India. Surat is home to a large number of textile mills and is known all around the globe as 92 percent of the world's diamonds are polished and cut here. Apart from the commercialisation, Surat attractions help promote tourism in the city.
The city has numerous tourist places to visit with over 2,800 heritage structures. Among these, the most alluring is the Surat Fort which was built by Britishers in 1616 for defence purposes. The Chintamani Jain Temple is another magnificent structure adorned with appealing paintings and wooden carvings. Some other places which tourists should explore are the Lake Garden, Swaminarayan Temple, Ambika Niketan Temple and Dutch Garden.
Tourists looking to take in some seaside air can head towards the Suvali Beach which is around 16 km away from the city. Those who admire Mahatama Gandhi and follow his principles should not miss a chance to visit Dandi during their Surat tour. Dandi is famous as the place, from where Mahatma Gandhi started his glorious 'Dandi March' along with fellow Indians.
While in Surat, tourists can take out some time to explore shopping streets at the famous Gaurav Path and Dumas Road. These are the areas where they can easily find quality silk, spices as well as diamonds of different cuts, shapes and colours.
