Sightseeing Tour of Calcutta

Kolkata Halfday sightseeing

Visit Kolkata - “The city of Joy” and see the Victoria memorial and St. Paul’s Cathedral


Overview
Kolkata or Calcutta, the city that Dominique Lapierre so memorably called “The City of Joy” is indeed a joy to visit. The erstwhile capital of British India, Calcutta has been the gateway to India for the better part of the 19th century. Alive with art and culture at every street corner, the city is dotted with historic temples, art centres, museums, botanical gardens and some of India’s best restaurants.

The city of Oscar winner Satyajit Ray and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, loved by the likes of Dominique Lapierre and Richard Gere, Calcutta – the capital of West Bengal should not be missed on a trip to India
