New York Times Lists Chandigarh Among 52 Places to Go in 2018
Chandigarh, India, takes the No. 43 spot on New York Times’ ‘52 Places to Go in 2018’ list.
Chandigarh, the capital of the northern states of Punjab and Haryana, has won the honor of finding a spot in the same league as hot tourist destinations like Prague, Czech Republic, Iceland, and Denver, Colorado, in New York Times’ ‘52 Places to Go in 2018’ list.
More than 60 years after it was designed by one of the world’s best-known modern architects, the city remains an oasis of calm in a country better known for urban chaos.
Described as a “green city and a mecca for architecture lovers,” the city, which is the only one from India, ranks at No. 43 on the list that is topped by New Orleans.
