Tourist Guide Vadodara:

Vadodara, also called as Baroda, is located in Gujarat state.

This city has flourished on the banks of the River Vishwamitri. In summer, the River Vishwamitri often dries up with a small or no stream of water. It is the 18th largest city in India.

Vadodara is located between the fertile plateau of Narmada and Mahi rivers. The climate is dry throughout the year except the monsoon season. From March to July, the maximum temperature is 36 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is 23 degrees Celsius. From November to February, the maximum temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is 15 degrees Celsius. In January, there are cold northerly winds. From mid-June to mid-September, there is a humid climate due to the south-west monsoon.

As per the 2005 census, the population of Vadodara is 1.6 million.

Vododara is called as “Sanskari Nagari”, which means a Cultured City. It is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in India.

Due to the broad vision of the Gaekwads, the proliferation of academic activities and the subsequent industrialiasation, this city has welcomed people from all parts of the world.

City is well planned beutiful city neglected by present rulers particularly Modi Government. City is very good education & medical hub. People are literate & co-operative. Very safe city for ladies & they can move any time without any fear. Dring Chimanbhai regime as CM, this city had tremendous growth & called Indusrial Capital of Gujarat. Now indusrial growth picking up at its own. This city Garba is world acclaimed & many foreign tourists come to watch & participate Garba.

I love to live in Vadodara city. I like Museums, Gardens & waterpark at Near Ajwa. We have gone S-cube waterpark more than 4-5 times and still I want to go there and enjoy there. Clean, safe, thoughtfully done amusement park. The food is very good. This time I liked Crunchy crispy PAPAD with stuffing, and chinese food. Always we Plan to spend the whole day from 11 am to evening to have leisurely fun. The water park is great!

Vadodara is a nice place to see. It has a dozen of must-see places in and arount it. It has one of the greatest historic museums of india and also art museum. Kamauti Baug and the zoo has been the wonderful wildlife showcase around the years. Ajwa Sarovar is a huge reservoir. The Ajwa and Nimeta garden have beautiful scenery along with fountains including musical fountain shows.

GOOD CITY BUT CIVIC AUTHORITY IS VERY POOR.STD.O CLEANLINESS HARDLY SEEN. EVEN THE MAIN COURT BUILDINGS ARE DIRTY AND SHABBY AS IF NO ONE IS TAKING CARE. AT SURSAGAR A NICE IDOL OF BHAGAVAN SHANKER INSTEAD OF ''SARASWATI DEVI'' THE GODESS OF MUSIC,KNOWLEDGE,LOVE AND FINE ARTS. THE CITY IS COSMOPOLITAN AND PEOPLE TOO. LET PEACE REMAINS PERMANANTLY IN THE CITY.

It's a good city, a very modern type. Many places to visit. Recently visited S-Cube Water Park near Ajwa, Vadodara which is kind of international standard water park in terms of safety, filtration system etc. Shops and brands available in Vadodara are hard to find even in Ahmedabad, so in a way very trendy city.

Very nice city. Good roads. All types of educational institutes and courses available. Moderate climate. Very high ratio of trees as compare to other cities in India. Educated people. Good numbers of gardens. Nicely kept zoo and it's animals. Have a legacy of Late Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad.

Good cultural values and good peaceful life plus point, development is very slow and construction is not even metro class. Roads are bad. Town planning is too bad without future mega city of world.
