From the glamorous home of Bollywood to the stunning dunes of Jaipur, form the diverse cultures of Chennai to the hustle and bustle of Delhi, the Republic of India is truly a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, religions and most importantly, people. Called home by over one billion citizens, everything is in abundance in this beautiful sub-continent. The state enjoys the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas in the North, the wonderfully relaxing shores of Goa in the West, the spectacular wonder of the Taj Mahal in Agra and is the seventh largest country in the world.
In the heart of South East India, one encounters the beautiful metropolis of Vijayawada found in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Fondly known by its inhabitants as The Business Capital of Andhra Pradesh, the metropolis witnesses the influx of people travelling for business. As a result, a Vijayawada hotel seeks to provide the necessary modern conveniences for the travelling businessman, and this is especially true of The Gateway Hotel M G Road Vijayawada found overlooking the Krishna River.
Vijayawada is particularly proud of its tourist industry, and with very good reason as the city is peppered with attractions both natural and created. For instance, the Undavalli Caves located a mere five kilometres from the metropolis are believed to be centuries old. Archaeologists date the Caves as being carved in the 7th century A.D and is complete with a truly awe-inspiring Buddha statue. Another place that will be thoroughly enjoyed by archaeology buffs is the Victoria Jubilee Museum where sculptures, weapons, inscriptions and idols are displayed. Other attractions include Gandhi Hill, the Mogalarajapuram Caves believed to have been discovered in 5th century A.D, the Bhaveni Island located on Krishna River, Krishnaveni Mandapam, a River Museum, and finally the Rajiv Gandhi Park maintained by the Municipal Coproration of Vijayawada. There are many places to see and explore in this metropolis: make sure you make enough time to visit them all.
