Hotels in Kolkata

Beneath the grand colonial facade of Victoria Memorial, rickshaws weave through streets where poets once debated over chai. The Indian Museum houses treasures that would make Indiana Jones swoon, while Science City makes learning feel like an adventure rather than homework. Nakhoda Masjid's red minarets pierce the sky, standing sentinel over a city where street food vendors create masterpieces for pocket change. New Market buzzes with commerce unchanged for generations - haggling isn't just permitted, it's practically mandatory. At Alipore Zoo, Bengal tigers lounge with aristocratic indifference while visitors press against barriers, phones aloft. Don't miss the evening aarti ceremony along the Hooghly River, where flames dance on water.
