Kolkata: Bengal’s beating heart

Book your visit to Kolkata

Explore Kolkata, a city rich in culture and history. Discover a bustling destination where the aroma of spices and chai fill the air as you wander through the vibrant streets. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of colourful rickshaws, friendly street vendors and lively chatter that create a symphony that is unmistakably Kolkata.

Old-world charm is ever-present as art, literature and food aren’t just appreciated – they are celebrated. Whether you are savouring a street-side snack, getting lost in a hidden alleyway or Bengal tiger spotting, Kolkata has a way of drawing you in. 

Things to do in Kolkata

Kolkata’s most popular tourist attraction is the Queen Victoria Memorial and it’s easy to see why. The past whispers through its majestic marble halls and the tranquil gardens provide a relaxing retreat from the liveliness of the city. 

Venture south to Kalighat Mandir, a sacred structure that is not only stunning in appearance but also home to a wealth of Indian history and significance.

Depending on the time of year, you may see workers extracting clay from the banks of the Ganga, also known as the Hooghly River, if you travel out of the city to Kumartuli. Between August and October, they are particularly busy preparing for rituals.

Cricket lovers must not miss visiting the Eden Gardens – the oldest cricket stadium in the whole of India.

Activities in Kolkata

For a truly unique activity, attend a tea auction at Nilhat House. Catch a tram there for a quintessential Kolkata experience. Watch the passionate spirit of Kolkata’s commerce, and enjoy the sight and aroma of fresh, local tea leaves. 

Looking for green spaces? Explore Bidhannagar, also known as Salt Lake City. Head to Salt Lake Central Park for bird watching or Nicco Park for fun activities the whole family will enjoy. 

For an unforgettable adventure, take a day trip out of the city to the Sundarbans, where the majestic Bengal tiger roams the mangroves. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sundarbans is known as the largest mangrove forest in the world. It’s certainly worth a trip out of the city centre to marvel at its beauty.

Food in Kolkata

Begin your culinary journey with a steaming cup of chai, the city’s lifeblood. Then discover local cuisine, where macher jhol (a fish curry) takes centre stage. Tender fish swims in a spicy, tangy gravy that dances on your taste buds – it’s the heartbeat of every Bengali kitchen.

Dacres Lane is a foodie’s playground, as street vendors whip up everything from crispy pakora (fritters) to juicy kebabs. For those with a sweet tooth, the rasgulla is a must try. These soft, spongy dumplings soaked in a sweet syrup are not to be missed in Kolkata.

For the early birds, Terreti Bazaar is the place to be. Arrive at dawn and you will be rewarded with a feast of Chinese dumplings, fresh fish and flavourful breakfast dishes – all prepared right before your eyes.

Bookworms will also find delight in Kolkata, a city famed for its intellectual side. Explore College Street, where book merchants line its sidewalks, offering rare editions and the latest bestsellers.

Park Street is where Kolkata’s past and present collide, with chic boutiques lined alongside colonial architecture. Shop for clothing, crafts and everything in between. For a local shopping experience, go to New Market – a bustling maze of stalls where you can find conch shell jewellery, vibrant bangles and hand-moulded terracotta sculptures.
