Eating and staying in Punjab
866 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 267 towns and suburbs in Punjab.
Punjab accounts for 1% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 19th-largest of the 36 regions by venue count. Those 866 venues sit across 267 named towns and suburbs, of which 2 carry at least 40 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Amritsar (132), Patiala (57) and Ludhiana (38) hold 26% of everything between them. The remaining 265 places average 2.6 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 64% eating to 64% accommodation, against a national 66/34. That is close to the national balance.
227 venues in Punjab carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on coffee (5), sandwich (44) and fast food (4).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 118 venues here publish opening hours (14% against 8% nationally), 61 list a website, and 12 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
