👇 Descritpion of City
Steeped in ancient history, rich culture, and marvelous architecture, Kolkata is a city full of colors and vibrancy. It has witnessed industrial revolutions, and the birth of great poets and freedom fighters like Rabindra Nath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, and Leander Peas. Another attraction of this city is its regional art and literature. Kolkata is also the third-largest metropolitan city of India, in terms of population. From millennial residents to colonial-era clubs, from congested streets to calming river banks, and from mouth-watering food to a hipster culture, Kolkata is a perfect blend of everything. Some of the must-visits in Kolkata are Howrah Bridge, Victoria Memorial, Belur Math, Eden Gardens, Park Streets, Princep Ghats, and Eco Tourism Park. Since it is a former Indian capital, it retains some magnificent architectures which are worth visiting. You will also taste the authentic Bengali cuisine here which will make your stay even more tangy. Kolkata is also known as the night capital or party capital of India. However, since the severe increase in women-related crimes, the govt. has imposed a 11:00 pm curfew here.
