Amritsar is a holy city in India. The name of the city means “Holy pool of nectar”. Amritsar is considered as holy since it is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion.

The Golden Temple is the city’s main attraction and the most religious and sacred place to the Sikhs. The stunning complex is always filled with pilgrims from all over India and the world. You have to visit the place twice – one in the day and once in the night when the Temple is beautifully lit up.

Another must see is the Summer Palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The palace has a museum that exhibits beautiful oil paintings, miniatures, weapons and coins coming from the Sikh period.

For a taste of history and spirituality, Amritsar is on of the best places to see.
