Kolkata (Calcutta) is the capital city of West Bengal; it’s like the city offers a glimpse of culture and heritage of the state. From its elegant British Colonial Era buildings to the sprawling gardens, from its historical colleges to its buzzing nightlife, and delicious food to sweets, Kolkata possesses all the necessary factors to be one of the finest places to visit not only in West Bengal but in India. Home to a spawning generation of poets, writers, film producers and Nobel laureates, the city is also a cultural capital of the country. Expect to be wooed by the nominal prices of things, the hand-pulled-rickshaws, meandering streets with old-fashioned houses and an innumerable variety of sweets.
