How to spend your 24 hours in Chandigarh

 How to make your Chandigarh Travel interesting

Laid out in self-contained sectors, Chandigarh is aptly known as ‘The City Beautiful’. It spans out from the Capitol Complex, which houses the main government buildings and the impressive Open Hand sculpture designed by the Swiss-French architect, Le Corbusier, as a symbol of the city’s aspirations. The heart of the city is Sector 17, marked by a piazza, where a musical fountain has become the hub for people to gather. The sprawling Rock Garden, created with waste materials, is not to be missed; and the Sukhna Lake attracts locals and tourists alike. Even as many Indian cities look skywards to cater to the pressures of growing populations, Chandigarh continues to be charmingly low-rise.
Top Sights
Rock Garden (Sector 1) – This enchanting garden is a revelation of how discarded junk can be turned into artefacts of stunning beauty. Here you will encounter the fantasy of Nek Chand, a local transport official, who fashioned sculptures from debris left over from the villages that were destroyed to build the city of Chandigarh.
Chandigarh Architecture Museum (Sector 10) – Using photos, letters, models, newspaper reports and architectural drawings, this museum tells the story of Chandigarh’s planning and development, including the abandoned first plan for Chandigarh by Albert Mayer and Matthew Nowicki. It is one of the main buildings within Chandigarh’s museum complex.
