Kolkata Tourism
Kolkata, India's second-largest metropolis is a never-ending celebration of human existence,
rich and dirty, polished and frenzied, brazenly modern yet gracefully decaying. The capital of West Bengal, a
lively 350-year-old metropolis on India's Eastern Coast, feeds on paradoxes and spectacular displays; nothing
is ordinary here. Kolkata is India's artistic, cultural, and intellectual centre. Kolkata's streets are
vibrant, busy, and chaotic, but they're also alive with life and innovation. The city has produced a lovely
juxtaposition of ancient colonial-era elegance and the embryonic impending hipster culture that flourishes
among the city's millennial citizens, driven by the tenacious spirit of the self-made middle class. Kolkata is
saturated in layers upon layers of legacy and culture, from appreciating the city's blooming art scene to
embarking on rewarding gastronomical expeditions to meandering amidst the many bazaars to relaxing by the
banks of the Hooghly and enjoying a quiet sunset.
