ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ · Golden Temple
The gilded shrine afloat on the Amrit Sarovar: gold, marble and kirtan for the 19 hours it is open. No entrance fee, and never empty.
Tip: WINTER timings: the doors open at 3:00, the Palki Sahib leaves the Akal Takht at 5:00, Ardas and Hukamnama run 7:00-7:15, the night Hukamnama is at 21:30 and Sukhasan at 21:45.

The temporal throne of the Sikhs, facing the shrine: the Palki Sahib sets out from here and returns here every day.
Tip: At 21:45 in winter, come back for the Sukhasan: the palanquin crosses the causeway amid hymns. It is free and it is the finest moment of the day.

The silver gateway where the 60 m causeway to the shrine begins. The queue forms here, and here is where the image everyone knows begins.
Tip: The queue moves single file and can be long; from 7 to 9 November, with Bandi Chhor Divas, expect far more. If you only want to look, the outer parikrama can be walked without queueing.

An octagonal tower of nine storeys, one for each year Atal Rai lived. It is the highest point in the old city and the best view over the Harmandir.
Tip: Go up at dusk: from the top you see the golden dome catching the light. You climb barefoot and the stairway is narrow.

The walled garden where British troops fired on a crowd on 13 April 1919. The entrance lane is still as narrow as it was then.
Tip: Beware the myth that it is 'just as it always was': the 2021 refurbishment added murals in the lane, new flooring, a granite Jalkund and four galleries. The bullet marks remain, now behind wooden grilles and picked out in white.

The well into which dozens of people threw themselves to escape the bullets. It is the hardest part of the garden.

The world's first museum devoted to the 1947 Partition, built from objects and testimony of the families who crossed in both directions.

The maharaja's summer residence, in brick and marble, now a museum of weapons, coins and paintings from the Sikh court.

A twentieth-century Hindu temple built to the same plan as the Harmandir: dome, water tank and causeway. Locals call it the Hindu Golden Temple.

A labyrinth-temple: narrow passages, mirrored caves, a water tunnel and staircases that lead nowhere. It is delightfully mad, and free.
Tip: You go through barefoot and wet: the cave stretch has ankle-deep water. Wear trousers you can roll up and carry nothing you mind getting soaked.

The memorial to the 21 Sikhs of the 36th Regiment who held out at Saragarhi in 1897. It stands at the head of Heritage Street.
Tip: Everyone walks past it on the way to the temple and almost nobody goes in. It takes five minutes and the plaque with the 21 names is worth the detour.

The first sacred tank Guru Ram Das had dug, older than the Amrit Sarovar itself.

Here Guru Arjan compiled the Adi Granth in 1604. It is one of the most important places in Sikhism and sees almost no tourists.

A sarovar founded by Guru Hargobind, the same Guru whose release is celebrated at Bandi Chhor Divas.

The gurdwara of the martyrs, linked to Baba Deep Singh. It has its own langar and a wide courtyard.

The smallest of the five historic sarovars, dedicated to Mata Kaulan. It is wedged in among the houses.

Guru Arjan had a well dug here with six Persian wheels (chhe-harat) to irrigate the area. That is where the neighbourhood's name comes from.
Tip: This is the gurdwara the people of Chheharta use, not the tours. Coming from the west side of town, it is a short detour from the station.

The birthplace of Guru Hargobind, the sixth Guru, in 1595. There is a historic well on the grounds.

A Punjabi village rebuilt at full scale: mud houses, potters, puppeteers, live bhangra and thali served on a charpai.
Tip: It is a theme park, not a real village, and it is fair to know that before you pay. It works very well for children; for anyone after authenticity, it does not.

The Indo-Saracenic campus of 1892, with its red facade of domes and arches. It turns up in half the Bollywood films set in Punjab.

Amritsar's international airport, 11 km from the centre, with flights to Delhi, Dubai, Birmingham and Milan.

The communal kitchen of Harmandir Sahib: dal, sabzi, roti and kheer, eaten sitting on the floor, free, for anyone, 24 hours a day.
Tip: The figure of 100,000 diners a day circulates everywhere, but we could not find it officially attributed; what is documented is that the kitchen manager stated a capacity of up to a million a day and more than 500 permanent volunteers.

One of the first names an Amritsari gives you when the talk turns to kulcha: flaky dough, a potato and onion filling, pressed down with butter.
