Tourists Places in Kolkata

As a city, Kolkata is a class apart. It has an identity that makes it unique in its own right. A city is all about its inhabitants and it is they who make Kolkata so special. They are greatly opinionated and are fond of arguing, and many a times their opinions are backed by lots of passion, and utter ignorance. Indeed a miniscule section of the people of this city is well-read and culturally evolved, but what makes this city different is that here all and sundry harbor pretensions of being art and literary connoisseurs. As a tourist, what will strike you most when you visit Kolkata is passion. Be it a cricket match, a film festival, a poetry reading session or a theatre performance; Kolkata wears its heart on its sleeves, though many a times quite clumsily.

Kolkata has a rich colonial legacy which is manifested in its several tourist attractions like Victoria Memorial, BBD Bagh, Fort William, Writers Building, etc. Shahid Minar, Marble Palace, Botanical Gardens, Nicco Park and Science City are some of the other tourist attractions of Kolkata.
