Heritage and identity
Shaniwar Wada (1732 AD seat of the Peshwas), Aga Khan Palace, Pataleshwar Caves, Saras Baug, Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple, the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, and old city food streets shape the city narrative.
Weekend living
Sinhagad, Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani, Mulshi, Tamhini Ghat, and Devkund are an hour or two away. Pune is one of the few Indian metros where weekend trips are genuinely possible without taking an extra day off.
