Vadodara

Vadodara, also known as Baroda by some locals, is a nice place where modern life combines with history. Visitors talk about the friendliness of the people and the old palaces that have nice tile work. It is a good choice for anyone who likes learning about culture without spending too much money—restaurants here offer good meals at lower prices compared to bigger cities like Mumbai. Getting around is simple; you can use Uber or take an auto-rickshaw, but remember to have some cash for the auto-rickshaw. While the city mainly has vegetarian food, the local dishes are enjoyable. You might want to avoid street food if you are careful, but the restaurant options will satisfy you. On the other hand, it is important to be aware of the monsoon season as flooding can occur. English may not be common, so having a guide can help your visit. Overall, if you are ready to enjoy a mix of culture, good food, and interesting buildings, Vadodara will be a great place for you!
