Bhuj is a historic city, presently a C class city is the district head quarter of Kutch. The city surrounds a hillock known as Bhujia Hill with an old fort a top and has typical physical settings. The high-density historic city surrounded by walls was developed adjacent to the hillock with a manmade lake. In the 19th and 20th century, the city expanded towards south and east. Many of the landmark buildings built in the British Period are found scattered outside the historic old core city. Important buildings of tourist importance are Aina Mahal, Pragmahal Palace, the Sharad Baug Palace, Royal Cenotaphs (Chatris), Kutch Museum, Ethnology Museum and Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan complex etc. Aina Mahal is a royal palace built in the 18th century while Pragmahal Palace was designed as an elegant Italianate palace.

Kutch Museum is the oldest museum in Gujarat. Aina Mahal, Kutch Museum, Chatris have been major tourist attracting places, which have suffered severe damage during the earthquake of 2001.

Lakhpat, Koteshwer and Narayan Sarovar situated in the extreme western part of the country are important religious destinations and surrounding areas also have potential of ecological tourism.

Lakhpat is situated in the Kori Creek, approximately 135 km from Bhuj. It was named either after Rao Lakha or many Lakhpatis (millionaires) residing there in the peak days of its glory. There are many temples and dargahs inside the Lakhpat fort, which is 500 year old. It has one Gurudwara and as per popular believes Gurunanak made his sojourn to Mecca from it.

Valuable Jurassic and post Jurassic fossils are also being collected from Kutch. The region had been an attractive habitat of dinosaurs and other extinct animals, birds and plants in various geologic time periods. Out of more than 10,000 dinosaur eggs found and documented in India the Kutch region itself has yielded more than 2,000 of such eggs. At personal levels dinosaur fossils and eggs are being collected and even there is a private museum of such kind in Kutch. Geologists have even found pugmarks embedded in the land, and plant and elephant fossils, which suggest that the now arid desert of Kutch was once a dense forest complete with rivers and they also believe that desertification in the region started due to tectonic activity taken place around 10,000 years ago. 

Moreover, the extinct volcano Dinodhar, which is the highest point in Kutch, 2300 years old Nani Rayan Excavation site, camel breeding farm at Wandh, Fossil Farm at Vithan, etc have potential of being good tourist spots in future.
