One of the most common options is to take a pre-paid taxi from the stand inside the airport. You can also hire a car or take a bus: there are several lines connecting the city.

What to visit in Amritsar

There are many things to see in Amritsar on a trip to India. One of the most iconic places is the aforementioned Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib: a magnificent sacred building and a pilgrimage destination for followers of the Sikh religion. The temple stands majestic and bright, reflecting the sunlight on the surrounding landscape - including the beautiful Sarovar Lake on which it stands. Amritsar is an ideal place to immerse oneself in the centuries-old Punjabi culture. Not only religion, but also intricate and symbolic traditional dances that enchant the eye. The Bhangra and Giddha shows are a riot of energy and rhythm. The city also boasts a lively atmosphere in its traditional markets. The Hall Bazaar is a popular spot among travellers as well as locals

You can find textiles, jewellery, and handicrafts typical of Punjabi culture, while absorbing the vibrant local culture. Amritsar also offers spaces of tranquillity where you can get away from the daily hustle and bustle of its historic centre in the form of beautiful parks and gardens. Numerous and well-maintained, the parks offer relaxing green walks just a short distance from its busiest streets. An extraordinary city in every respect, and one that will remain in your memory for a long time.

Where to eat

Amritsar is renowned for its tasty cuisine rich in spicy flavours, which can be enjoyed in its downtown restaurants or street food stalls, also popular with the locals. Among Amritsar's traditional dishes, you cannot miss some iconic and representative elements of Punjabi gastronomy, such as the famous langar, to be enjoyed in the Golden Temple. A Sikh tradition is to serve food to all visitors, regardless of their religion, in the name of spiritual connection and hospitality. For an authentic taste of Punjabi cuisine, try butter chicken. The latter is a chicken dish cooked in a rich, buttery sauce, usually accompanied by hot naan and creamy paneer tikka: marinated and grilled paneer (fresh cheese) cubes. If you are a fan of street food, try delicious local delicacies such as kulcha, a stuffed bread served with a variety of accompaniments, or fresh fish fried with aromatic spices. Finally, you cannot leave Amritsar without tasting lassi: a refreshing yoghurt-based drink traditionally served in large earthenware cups. Amritsar is a city that delights the senses with its unique and tasty cuisine. Explore the local restaurants, street food stalls and bazaars to immerse yourself in its more authentic side.
