This museum has an impressive collection of paintings, arms and armor, and other artifacts. In the afternoon, head to the new Partition Museum, which chronicles the tumultuous events surrounding the 1947 Partition of India. In the evening, explore the bustling bazaars of Amritsar, including the famous Lawrence Road market.

Recommendations

If you have extra time, consider visiting the Durgiana Temple, a Hindu temple that is often referred to as the Silver Temple due to its silver-plated doors. You can also take a side trip to the nearby Attari-Wagah Border, which is the only open border crossing between India and Pakistan. To maximize your fun, try some of the local cuisine, such as Amritsari Kulcha and Chhole Bhature. Finally, don't forget to catch the famous night view of the Golden Temple Complex that is breathtaking.
