Top tourist spots in Kolkata
Kolkata is a wonderful destination for those interested in India’s colonial culture; you can explore the Victoria Memorial, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Fort William and Marble Palace, and with many museums throughout the city you’ll be able to learn a great deal about the city’s eventful history and unique culture. The Hooghly River, which runs alongside Kolkata, is best known for its Howrah Bridge, an impressive structure that complements the colonial architecture you’ll find throughout the city itself. For a taste of the weird and wonderful side of Kolkata, you can explore a number of street bazaars in the inner city, notably Gariahat Market, College Street and Hatibagan Market. If you’re buying tickets for the whole family, you may also want to consider a visit to Nicco Park or Marble Palace Zoo for some fun-filled Kolkata adventures with the kids.
