Travel guide
Buy
thumb|Sitabuldi Market During summers don't forget to buy oranges. Nagpur is sometimes called the "Orange City" of India. If you visit during another season, then try orange burfi, a milk-based sweet with orange flavor.
Itwari, Sitabuldi, Sadar and Dharampeth areas are especially known as shopping areas due to the large number of shops and pavement hawkers in these areas. Bargaining is a must. Sunday Foot Path Market is a very good market at Sitabuldi for shopping household things.
Nagpur is also famous for cotton articles. Various handicrafts, most of them cotton-based, can be purchased from Sitabuldi, Itwari.
