Getting there & around
From the airport
Ahmedabad’s main airport is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD), about 9 km north of the centre. For most first arrivals, use a prepaid taxi or app cab; expect about 20-35 minutes to Ashram Road, CG Road/Navrangpura or the Old City, longer in peak traffic. BRTS route 15 links Airport and Iskcon via Sola Cross Road/RTO and is useful for western areas, roughly 45-75 minutes depending on interchange and traffic. There is no direct airport metro or airport train as of 2026-06-20; use a taxi to Kalupur/Ahmedabad Junction or to the nearest suitable metro stop.

Around the city
Ahmedabad Metro is the clearest way to cross the city where it fits your route: the Blue Line runs Thaltej Gam-Vastral Gam, the Red Line runs APMC-Motera Stadium, and metro service also extends north toward Gandhinagar/GIFT City. Use the Ahmedabad Metro app, TVMs or kiosks for tickets; if you will ride often, get an NCMC card rather than relying on the old Janmitra card. Janmarg BRTS and AMTS buses fill gaps, while autos and app cabs are best for last-mile trips. Practical tip: Old City lanes can be slow by car, so combine metro/BRTS with walking or short autos.

Before choosing where to stay
Where to Base
Old Ahmedabad offers immersive cultural experiences with heritage architecture, ideal for history enthusiasts. New Ahmedabad features modern hotels, business centers, and proximity to the Sabarmati River, catering well to corporate travelers seeking convenience and connectivity.
Getting Around
Public transport is efficient, with taxis and ride-hailing services widely available. In the narrow streets of the Old City, walking or cycle rickshaws provide an authentic experience. The newer areas have wider roads, making driving or cabs more practical for quick transit between business hubs.
Best Season
Winter months (October to March) offer cool, pleasant weather, perfect for exploring outdoor heritage sites and cultural landmarks. Summers are hot, so travelers should prioritize hotels with robust air conditioning and plan indoor activities during peak heat hours.
