Capitol Complex

The Capitol Complex at Sector 1 is monumental in size and dominates the skyline of Chandigarh. The three major buildings comprising the Capitol Complex are the Secretariat, the Assembly, and the High Court. All of these buildings are interlocked to another as part of a subtle visual composition, delicately balanced, and enclosing grandiose spaces. Between the silhouettes of these magnificent edifices is juxtaposed the city. s most popular visible symbol: the Open Hand.



Sector 17
Sector 17 is the second-most important stopover in Chandigarh after Capitol Complex being the main shopping area of the city.

The Rock Garden
Rock Garden has somehow come to symbolize Chandigarh in the recent days. Created by a humble road inspector called Nek Chand. Turning urban waste material into creative patterns and textures, his touch transformed mute rocks into art objects. Mysterious spaces with stones, rocks, and waterfalls recreate the awe and wonder of primordial nature. This unabashed realm of natural and manmade creativity attracts people of all age groups, and from all parts of the world.

Other tourist attractions in Chandigarh are the Leisure Valley, Government Museum and Art Gallery, Museum of Evolution of Life, and International Dolls Museum.
