Gastronomy
The lack of cheap hotels and tourist attractions is certainly compensated by the large number of dining options. Traditional Indian dishes are served in several Ian restaurants along the Udyog Path, opposite the bus station. These include Royal, Vince i Punjab.
Gourmets of poultry dishes should head to Singh's Chicken, na rogu Himalaya Marg. The nearby Golden Dragon is famous for its cheap and good Chinese cuisine. Right next to it is the elegant Tasty Bite restaurant, serving take-away only. Let's try hamburgers and Indian snacks from the south of the country. The Divyadeep Bhoj Restaurant at the Hotel specializes in rather expensive vegetarian dishes.
Those staying at Panchayat Bhavan can try Chinese delicacies at Cliop-stix opposite 2. We also recommend the bar north of the center in the sector 9. Belongs to the British Whimpy restaurant chain, serving mostly burgers.
A lot of the premises are located in the mall in the sector 17. One of the better fast food outlets is Hot Mitlions (near the airline office). Burgers cost money 21-38 INR, pizza 32 INR. During your meal you can watch satellite TV broadcasts. Coffee lovers will be attracted by the aroma of this divine liquid to one, and then to the second Indian Cojfee House coffee shop.
In the same sector are the two most expensive restaurants in the city of Ghazal and located on the same street, Meh fil. Both are distinguished by elegant design and high prices – you pay approx. 80 INR. More affluent tourists can choose from continental dishes, Chinese and of course Indian. There is a pub in Ghazal, and Mehfil also delivers home dishes (®70-3539).

Trains
Due to the long distance between the train station and the city center, bus journeys are much more convenient. Tourists who decide to travel by train can book tickets at the office (act., 8.00-20.00; s-70-4382) located on the first floor of the bus station.

Communication
The airport The airport is situated 11 km south of the sector 17. The taxi ride costs money 120 INR, rickshaw 44 INR.
Public transport Chandigarh is too large a city, to explore them on foot. City bus rides are the cheapest way to get around the city. Bus #1 runs from the Aroma Hotel all the way to the public buildings in the sector 1. The road between the bus and train stations is made by a bus #37.
The price of a bicycle rickshaw ride is agreed with the driver in advance. However, you have to take this into account, that the journey takes a long time. The tutor rickshaw ride is much faster. There are not many of them in Candigarhu, therefore make a reservation in advance at the office behind the bus station. Although there are fixed prices, it is worth bargaining with a rickshaw driver. The ride from the train station to the bus station usually costs 30 INR.
It's definitely best to get around the city by bike. Unfortunately, there may be problems finding a rental company,It is best to ask for details in hotels.
