Chandigarh

Shopping Delights

Plush shopping malls and swish arcades with elegantly lit fountains and sculptures is what Chandigarh is all about. From designer stores to local markets shopping in Chandigarh is definitely a delightful experience. The main shopping and commercial centre of Chandigarh is Sector-17 defined by big showrooms and departmental stores. Head out to the Government Emporia where you can get your hands on handicrafts and textiles from all over the country. Don't miss out on the traditional tip-turned-up jooties and colorful Punjabi dupattas. Sector-17 also has a profusion of eating outlets and fast-food joints for the complete day-out experience. Other than Sector-17, the shops on Madhya Marg in Sector-9 boast of some new stores. Sector-22 is famous for its jewelry shops and it also holds a huge "Rehri Market". For an evening out head out to Sector-11. Although not filled with as many shops it does hold much interest among the locals and tourists alike.
