The walled city inside Hall Bazaar is walkable and cars are excluded within about 500 m of the Golden Temple, so if you stay on Heritage Street you will not need transport for the main sights. Jallianwala Bagh and the Partition Museum are both within a 10-minute walk of the temple. Beyond the old city — to Ranjit Avenue, the cantonment or the airport — you need an auto or cab. Chandigarh, by contrast, is not walkable between sectors; each sector is roughly 800 m across and you will use autos or Ola constantly.

Yes, Wagah is 30 km from Amritsar, about 45 minutes by road, and the flag-lowering ceremony starts at 4:15pm in winter and 5:15pm in summer. Shared taxis leave from the Golden Temple area around 2pm and cost ₹300–400 per seat return, or a private cab is ₹1,500–2,000. Arrive at least 90 minutes early for a seat; foreigners have a separate faster queue. You are back at your Amritsar hotel by 7:30pm, in time for dinner on Lawrence Road or a second Golden Temple visit.

Stay inside the Heritage Street pedestrian zone, within 500 m of the Golden Temple’s Ghanta Ghar entrance. This lets you walk to the 4am and 9pm ceremonies without arranging transport, and the langar hall is a two-minute walk. Hotels here range from ₹1,500 guesthouses to the ₹22,000 Taj Swarna, though the Taj is actually 3 km away on Albert Road. Anything listed as being on Queens Road, Ranjit Avenue or near the airport is a taxi ride from the temple.

May and June are cheapest, with rates 30–40% below winter because daytime highs hit 42–46°C. A room that costs ₹6,000 in December drops to ₹3,800 in late May, and 5-star business hotels in Chandigarh and Ludhiana discount heavily because corporate travel slows. If you can handle the heat and stay indoors between 11am and 5pm, the Golden Temple is also far less crowded. Avoid the second week of April, when Baisakhi pushes rates back up.

Four nights covers the essentials: two in Amritsar including the Wagah border ceremony, one in Anandpur Sahib or Chandigarh, and one in Patiala or Kapurthala for heritage. Add a fifth night if you want to include Talwandi Sabo near Bathinda or the Khalsa Heritage Complex properly. Two nights is only enough if you are flying into Amritsar and doing nothing beyond the Golden Temple and Wagah. Business visitors to Ludhiana or Jalandhar rarely need more than one night.
