Amritsar is a spiritual and cultural centre in the Punjab region of India, offering you a vibrant and unique city break experience. The city is full of bustling markets, rich history, and the genuine warmth of the Punjabi people.
The city’s heart is the magnificent Golden Temple, a gleaming architectural marvel surrounded by the serene Amrit Sarovar.

A short walk from the temple is the peaceful Jallianwala Bagh garden, a site dedicated to quiet reflection. For a dose of local heritage, visit the Summer Palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in Ram Bagh Park, which now houses a museum charting the culture of the region.
