Kolkata, known as the cultural capital of India, is a city that brings together vibrant street life, rich traditions, and an unmistakable colonial heritage. From majestic old buildings to lively markets and a thriving arts scene, this bustling metropolis offers travelers a blend of old-world charm and modern energy.

A Glimpse into Its Past

Originally a small village on the banks of the Hooghly River, Kolkata developed rapidly under British rule in the late 17th century. Once the capital of British India, the city became a center for education, literature, and culture, leaving a legacy visible in its architecture, museums, and festival celebrations.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to explore this vibrant city is from October to March. During these months, the weather is cooler and more comfortable for sightseeing, and many of the region's major festivals, like Durga Puja, take place, giving visitors a unique cultural experience.

Is Kolkata safe for tourists?

Yes, it’s generally considered a safe destination for travelers. As in any big city, it’s wise to keep an eye on your belongings and follow common-sense precautions, especially in crowded places and at night.

Must-try local dishes?

Don't miss sampling local favorites such as mishti doi (sweet yogurt), kathi rolls, fish curry, and a wide array of Bengali sweets. Street food stalls and traditional restaurants offer authentic flavors you shouldn't pass up.
