Manek Chowk Road

Shopping

Ahmedabad is a city of vibrant street life, which includes an abundance of day- and nighttime markets. Some of the most popular shopping areas to be after sundown are, of course, the Manek Chowk square in Old Ahmedabad and the Law Garden area. Vendors sell a huge variety of items, ranging from traditional clothing to handicrafts to food. Haggling is welcome at markets, but fixed-price craft stores (many government-run) provide a great alternative for those looking for a more relaxed experience. Plenty of air-conditioned malls with international brand boutiques operate in Ahmedabad along with a large variety of small shops scattered throughout the city.
