In Pune, one should have a car. The city is very clean and well managed by municipal corp. There’s no reason to worry about security in this city. There are lot of big shopping malls and food sections across city. This is clearly a less polluted city.

Swargate is main connectivity of Pune. If they are tourists, then they should know the Ganapati temples, shaniwar wada, sinhagad.

Some Important tips:
1. Two wheeler with a helmet is must.
2. Super safe for girls, the people are too scared of police here which is a good thing.
3. Weekend getaways at an arm’s distance-Lonavala, khandala, lavasa and lots more.
4. Having a friend who speaks Marathi or knowing Marathi is must.
5. Nightlife is awesome, but please don’t drink and drive. You may have to pay a hefty fine with Imprisonment.
6. House for Startups which benefits the Youth the most.
7. You can see upcoming Cars and Bikes wrapped in camouflage sheets as it is Hub of Automobiles.
8. People wear warm clothes in monsoon.

Pune weather qualifies it as the Shimla of Maharashtra; cool, dry breezes and moderate temperatures make for a very pleasant climate all year. Note, however, (should you be considering an agricultural endeavour) that rainfall is scarce, since Pune lies in the rain shadow area of the Western Ghats. The purchase of a property on the outskirts of town is advisable. This will place you within reach of the software hub, Hinjewadi, and shield you from traffic of the main city. Pune is the headquarters of the Southern Command of the Indian Army, and military society comprises most of the old town. Several colonial-era clubs, libraries, churches and relics can be found scattered around the centre of the city. Monuments dating back to Maratha rule also adorn the city and are well worth visiting. Aptly nicknamed ‘The Oxford of the East’, Pune has several prestigious educational institutions, such as Fergusson College, the BR Ambedkar Institute of Law and the renowned St. Mary’s School. Know, however, that transport facilities are underdeveloped; no city-wide network of communication is in place, and the layout of the city can be confusing for a newcomer. The city is comparatively somnolent, as large cities go; afternoons find almost all businesses closed, and nightlife is practically non-existent.
