Even earlier the city was an important port, connecting India with a number of places like Singapore, Zanzibar, Mozambique, Africa, and the Persian Gulf, and as such was protected by a fort.

Places to Visit in Bhavnagar
It is extremely convenient to plan the most cost-effectively priced tour to Bhavnagar with holiday packages from Veena World. When you are booking a suitable itinerary for your next vacation, here are some of the top places to visit in Bhavnagar that you can consider adding to your plans:
- Takhteshwar Temple: This hilltop temple is among the earliest documented sacred places in Gujarat. The main attraction within the shrine is the image of Lord Shiva and Nandi, which sits atop eighteen ornate pillars in the large courtyard of the temple. Reaching the temple involves a bit of a hike across a marble staircase that offers mesmerising views of the surrounding landscapes.
- Brahma Kund: Located at the base of the Bhavnagar Temple, the Brahma Kund is an important site of pilgrimage in Gujarat. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma once came to earth and performed a yagna here. The holy pond is also considered to have healing properties and is a significant cultural landmark.
- Piram Bet: A small island located in the Gulf of Cambay; Piram Bet is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Bhavnagar. The island boasts of untouched beauty and houses a number of fossils of dinosaur eggs as well as giant turtles, some of which date back to almost 8000 years ago. Apart from this, the island is also the nesting ground for two endangered species – the Olive Riddley Turtles and the Green Turtles.
- Velavadar Blackbuck National Park: Home to the popular blackbuck antelopes that are known for their elegant spiralling horns, the Velavadar Blackbuck National Park stretches between two seasonal rivers and encompasses a 34 square kilometre area of pale grasslands. With a good road network, the park is best explored by car and can be explored on a safari, which you can book at the Blackbuck Lodge.
- Victoria Park: Founded in 1888 by the Maharaja of Takhtsinhji and covering an area of 500 acres, Victoria Park is a magnificent green space located in the heart of the city. Boasting of a tranquil environment and several native plant and animal species, the park is an amazing destination for explorers, nature lovers, and birders alike.
- Gopnath Beach: An amazing destination to escape from the buzz of the city and spend some time unwinding after a day of sightseeing, Gopnath Beach is also known for being a stopover for a number of unusual bird species. The steep cliffs at this beach also make for some great photo ops that you simply must witness on your tour to Bhavnagar.
- Barton Museum: The museum is a popular tourist destination, housing relics from the life of Mahatma Gandhi, along with a great collection of stamps, coins, guns, sculptures, and folk art. Also housing one of the first libraries in the city, the Barton Museum is a treasure trove with its massive historical and cultural collection.
- Nilambagh Palace: Originally owned by the Gohil royal family, the Nilambagh Palace was converted into a hotel and designated as a historical site in Bhavnagar. Offering a tranquil ambience, colonial-style architecture, and a stay in the lap of luxury, the palace is, without a doubt, one of the top tourist attractions in the city.
