Location and neighbourhood

It feels quieter than the dense pols across the river. Wide streets and mature trees give it a relaxed, residential character. The area is home to the Calico Museum of Textiles, a world-class collection housed in a historic building. Visits are by guided tour only and must be booked ahead. Photography is not allowed inside. The museum's calm gardens and the nearby Hutheesing Jain temple, built in 1848, add to the neighbourhood's appeal. Shahibaug makes a good base for exploring north Ahmedabad's cultural and historical sites.

Evenings in Shahibaug are subdued compared to the old city's night markets. You can walk along the Sabarmati Riverfront, a short distance away. The promenades on both banks are lit after dark and popular for evening strolls. Atal Bridge, a footbridge between Ellisbridge and Sardar Bridge, offers a pleasant crossing. The area has a few local eateries that serve vegetarian Gujarati fare. For a more lively evening, you can head towards the old city or the Law Garden area, where food stalls open in the evening. The neighbourhood's quiet streets are safe for walking after dark.

Getting there and around

Hotel Royal Night is about 5.6 km from the airport and 4.6 km from Ahmedabad Junction. From the hotel, you can walk to the Calico Museum and the Hutheesing Jain temple. Auto-rickshaws and app-based cabs are easy to find on the main roads. The nearest BRTS bus stop connects to the Janmarg network, which runs along dedicated lanes. The Ahmedabad Metro's Blue Line is a short ride away; check the current network for the nearest station. For exploring the old city, an auto or a taxi is the most direct option.

Nearby sights and food

The Calico Museum of Textiles is the main draw in Shahibaug. It holds one of India's finest collections of textiles, from ancient to modern. The Hutheesing Jain temple, a white marble structure with intricate carvings, is a short walk away. The Dada Harir stepwell, built in 1499, is a five-storey structure with carved pillars. The old city's heritage walk starts from the Teen Darwaza gate and passes through the pols, with their carved wooden havelis and chabutaras.

Food lovers in Shahibaug can start with a Gujarati thali at a local restaurant. The meal includes dal, kadhi, shaak, roti, rice and a sweet dish. Street stalls near the old city sell dhokla, khaman, fafda and jalebi. In the evening, the Law Garden area's food stalls offer khandvi, thepla and other snacks. The old city's central square turns into a night food market after dark, with vendors selling pav bhaji, dosa and sweet dishes. For a winter visit, undhiyu is a seasonal speciality, often eaten with puri. Most places serve only vegetarian food, in line with local customs.
