**🏨 Affordable Stays** Budget hotels in areas like Athwa Lines or Varachha cost INR 800-1,500 per night. For dorm beds, try Zostel Surat near the railway station at INR 500 per night. Book directly or via apps like Oyo for extra discounts. **🍛 Cheap Eats** Street food is king: a plate of Surati locho at Surti Locho House in Nanpura costs just INR 30. For a filling thali, head to Kansar Gujarati Thali in Adajan for INR 120 per person. Avoid touristy restaurants near the train station. **🚌 Getting Around** BRTS buses (city bus rapid transit) cost INR 10-25 per ride and cover most areas. Auto-rickshaws start at INR 20 for the first kilometer; always negotiate or use a metered app. For short trips, shared autos are even cheaper at INR 10 per person. **🎫 Free Attractions** Visit the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Museum (free entry on Sundays) and the Dutch Garden for a peaceful stroll. The Surat Castle and the old textile market area are free to explore on foot. Sunset at Dumas Beach costs nothing but the view. **💰 Money-Saving Tips** Locals shop for textiles at the Ring Road market, where you can bargain for fabrics at 30-50% below mall prices. Eat at community kitchens like the ISKCON temple's canteen for a full meal at INR 50. Use the 'Chalo' app for bus passes that save 20% on fares. **🛍️ Budget Shopping** For souvenirs, head to the Zampa Bazaar for hand-embroidered fabrics starting at INR 200. The Sunday morning flea market at Chowk Bazaar has antique coins and brass items for INR 50-100. Always haggle politely. **🌳 Parks and Walks** The Surat Science Centre has free entry on National Science Day (Feb 28). Take a morning walk along the Tapi Riverfront promenade, which is free and offers great photo ops. The Jagdishchandra Bose Aquarium charges only INR 20 for adults. **📱 Local Apps** Download the 'Surat City' app for real-time BRTS schedules and fare info. Use 'Zomato' to find restaurants with 50% off deals on first orders. For intercity travel, book state bus tickets on 'GSRTC' app to avoid agent fees.
