  1. It depends on the context. If you mean for someone to make a suggestion, then suggest to go is the correct sentence structure. If you mean to recommend that someone go somewhere, then suggest going is the correct sentence structure. e.g.

    1. Someone suggested to meet Azhar before breakfast.
    2. He suggested going for a trip.
    1. Use “suggest to go” when you are trying to communicate the idea that you want someone to perform an action that is in their best interest. e.g. I suggest you to go there.
    2. Use “suggest going” when you want to communicate the idea that you are pointing out the benefits of taking an action. I suggest going out during the day time.
