Next, visit the imposing Chhota Imambara, another beautiful and delicate example of Mughal design. Admire the stunning interiors decorated with chandeliers and mirrors.
Refuel with a street food break at the vibrant Chowk market. Savor the famous delicacies like Tunday Kebab, Galoti Kebab, Sheermal and Paan. Enjoy the flavors and aromas of Lucknow's culinary delights.
Take a stroll to Rumi Darwaza, a 60-foot tall ornate gateway elaborately arched and carved. This gateway is inspired by the Gate of Justice at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul.
Baradari or La Martinere College is located in the heart of the city, founded in 1845. Admire the Christ Church architecture and the beautifully maintained gardens. See the graves of Major General Claude Martin and Sir Henry Lawrence.
Complete your day tour with a visit to the Residency Building. Built in 1800, this complex served as a residence for the British Resident General who supervised the Nawab's administration.
