I often have to go back home late night and it seems safe, people often rome around till 12 and also polish keep petroling around the city even after midnight. They often check on suspicious activity.

Surat, being a city in a dry state, is the safest place I have ever been in India. The people are nice and helpful. You can use Uber anywhere or take an auto. It’s also the second cleanest city and very easy to maneuver.

Surat is safe if you are in the right areas. You don't need to worry about your clothes or your belongings at all. Just eat your way around in Surat and have fun at flea, cafes, beach and some shopping 😉 Have fun exploring with us.. Area recommendations: Adajan,pal,vesu,piplod,VIP road...

I have been living here my entire life and it’s a very beautiful and very rich place in India! People here loveessa food and are know for their hospitality. We might not have the most exotic beaches or places but have a rich culture and great great food. The entire city is build on both sides of a river named “Tapi” there are many mythical stories and may great historical places. We are one of the clearest cities in India. You can find some beautiful cafes here! A spoiler alert it’s a dry state so alcohol consumption is not allowed here. But this is the safest place and believe me you will not miss alcohol at all.

Surat is a chill place for someone who’s planning to eat and relax. People are welcoming. There is nothing much to do except eating, but it’s safe and you won’t find problems with local people. Helpful and welcoming is the word
