Things To Do
Indian Museum
Walking Distance from the hotels. The Indian Museum is a grand museum in Central Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is the ninth-oldest museum in the world and the oldest, as well as the largest, museum in Asia by collection size. It has rare collections of antiques, armour and ornaments, fossils, skeletons, mummies and Mughal paintings
Park Street
Another walking distance gem! (perhaps the most important) Park Street in Kolkata is the city’s historic food corridor, where colonial-era cafés, Chinese restaurants, Mughlai eateries, and old bakeries come together in a vibrant food and adda culture. Its streets carry the layered history of colonial Calcutta, migration, music, and cosmopolitan urban life through the smells, tastes, and memories of its iconic restaurants. Bride Recommends: Peter Cat, Order Chelo Kebab Groom Recommends: Trincas (has live music in the evenings!), order the chicken ala-kiev and everything else! Families Say: Mocambo, Bar-b-q, some place else (also has live music) & Kusum rolls.
Victoria Memorial
The Victoria Memorial is a large marble monument built between 1906 and 1921 by the British Raj. It is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria, the Empress of India from 1876 to 1901. The Victoria Memorial in Kolkata houses 25 galleries showcasing vast collections of oil paintings, sculptures, and historical artifacts from the British colonial era. Key exhibits include the Royal Gallery, the Biplobi Bharat Gallery (devoted to revolutionaries), and the central Durbar Hall, all set within 57 acres of gardens
Calcutta Walks
Kolkata — still lovingly called Calcutta by many — is a city layered with more than three centuries of history. Once the capital of British India, its streets carry traces of colonial architecture, old Bengali neighbourhoods, tram lines, river ghats, coffee houses, and generations of political and cultural life. One of the best ways to experience the city is through Calcutta Walks, whose tours explore Kolkata through walking, bicycles, river boats, motorbikes, and heritage tram routes. Their philosophy emphasizes slow, immersive travel — encountering Kolkata at street level rather than from inside air-conditioned vehicles. From Dalhousie Square and North Kolkata’s old mansions to Park Street’s food culture and sunset cruises on the Hooghly, these tours treat the city as a living archive best understood through movement, conversation, and everyday life.
