Old City

Amritsar's Old City surrounds you with spiritual energy that feels almost tangible. The Golden Temple's dome shimmers in sacred waters while devotees chant prayers throughout the day. Narrow lanes lead to moving historical sites like Jallianwala Bagh memorial, where bullet holes still tell their storey. The bustling bazaars of Hall Bazaar and Katra Jaimal Singh Market offer a feast for the senses with colourful textiles and spicy street food. Auto-rickshaws navigate the maze of lanes while walking remains the best way to explore this compact area. The city comes alive with kulchas and sweet lassi from dawn vendors, plus the Golden Temple's langar feeds thousands daily for free. Heritage havelis converted to guesthouses offer authentic stays near the spiritual centre.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Amritsar

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Amritsar is during May, June, and September, when hotel prices are typically lower. To fully appreciate the city's rich history and cultural heritage, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows for ample time to explore significant landmarks, including temples, monuments, and cultural sites, as well as the surrounding forests and wildlife areas. With affordable options available, you can enjoy a memorable trip without breaking the bank, especially as prices may drop during these off-peak months.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travellers a chance to explore Amritsar with enticing hotel deal possibilities. Begin by checking the DealsOpens in a new window section, where you may discover attractive discounts, and the Last-Minute Deals area for potential savings on luxury hotel deals in Amritsar as your travel date nears. You’re also more likely to see updated offers by enabling email alerts. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app helps compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can make an informed decision when booking your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you find a more affordable stay in Amritsar. If you’re in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems a bit steep, we can suggest alternative dates that might help you find a more appealing option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Amritsar's excellent public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even nearby cities that are not as well-known, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
