Jallian wala Bagh is very near to the Golden Temple.
The memorial at this site commemorates the 2000 Indians who were killed or wounded, shot indiscriminately by the British under the command of Gen Michael O"Dyer on April13, 1919 while participating in a peaceful public meeting. This was one of the major incidents of Indias freedom struggle. A section of wall with bullet marks still visible is preserved along with the memorial well, in which some people jumped to escape.

Wagah Border
Wagah Border is around 30 Km from the city. It is the international border between India and Pakistan. The pomp and pageantry of the Beating Retreat and the Change of Guard within handshaking distance of the Indian and Pakistani forces makes for a most charming spectacle.
