This is the first review of Surat on this platform, and there's a reason. Don't bother. Surat is dry, dusty, and the air quality is awful (all those wedding fireworks and crematoriums). Sure the internet speed is great, but the housing and food costs are the same as Mumbai, or higher. There is very little to do here, no great cultural sights, no great venues to attend. There is hope, though: Romeo and Juliet (written in 1597) was performed live here for the first time in history in February 2022

I was there September 8-14, 2019. A friendly and beautiful city, but it helps to have a guide. I did a hotel stay as the prices were a tiny percentage of the same accomodation in Mumbai. Internet was good. Tunnel worked here (but that may just have been my access point). There are internet cafes (Cafe Coffee is one)... but there is also Starbucks. Prices at restaurants are lower than other spots I visited in India. I did not do the street food

Got a friend to pick me up at the airport, so I can't evaluate how well UBER works from the airport. Prepaid taxi from the airport is my usual recommendation, and if I was traveling tomorrow that is what I would do. Inside of Mumbai, UBER was my go-to app and worked well. Autos (aka 'Tuk-tuks' in some places) get around well and are cheap, some are also on Uber. Be aware that unless you use a service like UBER, as a foreigner, th
