Amritsar Cantonment is a well-maintained military garrison established during British rule, characterized by wide, shaded roads, colonial bungalows, and manicured lawns. Visitors can stroll past historic churches, the war memorial, and the cantonment board office, observing daily military life. Its serene atmosphere contrasts sharply with the city center, making it ideal for a peaceful walk or heritage photography. The area also houses the Amritsar Railway Station and several army canteens.
