    The Howrah Bridge is a balanced bridge built by steel on hoogly river. This is one of the four bridges in Kolkata. The Howrah Bridge is considered as the life line of Kolkata. It is one of the entry point for thousands. of people coming to Kolkata. The View from the Bridge is very beautiful.

    Being a die hard cricket lover I always wanted to witness a live match in the stadium. So I planned this tour so that we could watch the match between KKR vs MI. and it was lovely experience to watch match in Eden Garden.

    Eco Tourism Park is the best place to hang out with friends, family, or even solo. It has a beautiful water body, lots of greenery, and plenty of activities like cycling, toy train and boat rides.

    There are many great eateries here, including Dhamsa Tribal Restaurant for traditional Santali food, and other restaurants offering India, Chinese and Mughlai cuisine. You can also explore the Japanese Forest within the park.

    One highlight is Cafe Ekante, located on an island, which serves delicious Chinese and Indian food. The park also offers accommodations with lake views.

    The College Street of Kolkata Spread across a stretch of 1.5 kilometres, the College street boasts of being the world’s largest repository of second hand books and the largest book market in India, available at dirt cheap prices. One can acquire good books at very cheap rates by hard bargaining too.

    This is a historic cemetery containing the burial grounds and tombs of personalities from the colonial era. Some people might think it a bit morbid to visit graves. There are graves mainly of prominent members of the East India Company as well as other members of British society. As a historical site, the graves and tombs are all well kept, displaying excellent architectural examples from the British era.

    I had visited Science City in my childhood, visited again with kids and family this summer saw a lot of improvements. It's worth the visit and one can spend entire day easily. Open play area and paid exhibits are good. Some of the attraction were in maintenance or not working. Per person it is about 500 INR including 3-4 paid attractions.

    It was built in the year 1841, during the British Raj in India. More than 180 years old ..
    Prinsep ghat is located along the banks of the River Ganges. Along this bank, there are stone steps in regular intervals that lead you down to the waters. Infringed are benches for you to sit and watch glorious sunsets over the water while watching ships sail past you. Nestled amidst nature, you can spend time wonderfully.
