Start your trip with an iconic landmark of Kolkata, the Howrah Bridge, popular for being one of the busiest cantilever bridges globally, connecting Kolkata to Howrah over River Hooghly. Take a stroll on the bridge while admiring the stunning sunrise and getting a glimpse of the bustling city below.
Visit the grand Victoria Memorial, a stunning white-marble palace built-in memory of Queen Victoria, offering a glimpse of the city's colonial past. Explore the gardens, galleries, and the museum housing paintings, sculptures, and manuscripts of the British Raj era that provide a glimpse of Kolkata's rich heritage.
Discover the historical South Park Street Cemetery, the final resting place of some of Kolkata's notable personalities that date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. You'll find Gothic tombs and tranquil gardens from the time when British Colonialists ruled Kolkata. Take a guided tour to know more about the cemetery's history and significance.
If you have more time, try visiting other popular attractions such as the Belur Math, Indian Museum, and Mother House.
