Location and neighbourhood

The Old City is the historic core of Ahmedabad, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a dense area of pols, or gated neighbourhoods, with narrow lanes lined by carved wooden havelis. The area centres on Lal Darwaza, Bhadra Fort and the central market square. First-time visitors find the layout confusing but rewarding. The streets are busy with pedestrians, cycles and autorickshaws. Many mosques and stepwells are within walking distance. The Sabarmati Riverfront is a short walk west. This is the most atmospheric part of the city, best explored on foot in the morning or late afternoon. You will see chabutaras, khadki gates and centuries-old architecture at every turn.

The walled city was inscribed by UNESCO in 2017 as India's first World Heritage City. Its pols date back centuries, each with a gated entrance and a bird-feeder tower. The main monuments are clustered around Bhadra Fort and the Friday Mosque. First-time visitors should start at the fort and walk south towards the river. The area is compact, so you can cover many sights in a day. Autorickshaws are useful for longer distances. The best time to walk is early morning or late afternoon, when the light is good and the streets are quieter. Carry water and wear comfortable shoes.

Getting there and around

Green Park by Fabhotel is in the Old City, around 9.1 km from the airport and 2.5 km from Ahmedabad Junction at Kalupur. From the airport, a taxi takes about 40 minutes depending on traffic. The Kalupur station is on the east side of the walled city, a short autorickshaw ride away. The nearest metro station is on the Blue Line; check the current network for the closest stop. BRTS buses run on the main roads around the walled city. Within the Old City, walking is the best way to see the pols and monuments. Autorickshaws are easy to find for short trips. You can also hire a cycle rickshaw for a slower tour of the lanes.
