The slogan of Kolkata Tourism is \u201cCity of Joy\u201d and it truly lives up to it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_facts_about_Kolkata_India\"><\/span><strong>Historical facts about Kolkata, India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, some of the historical facts about Kolkata are also the lesser known facts of Kolkata and are sure to amaze you- The British made Kolkata the center for the colonial rule in India that lasted for 200 years, Kolkata was the capital of India between the years 1772 to 1911 under the British rule and was also the capital of Bangladesh between the years 1912 to 1947.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolkata_Highlights\"><\/span><strong>Kolkata Highlights<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are plenty of things to do in Kolkata. From the popular Tram rides to sacred landmarks like Dakshineshwar Kali Temple to street food vendors selling authentic Bengali food, there is no dearth of attractions in the city of joy. Here\u2019s our list of things to do in Kolkata.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Howrah Bridge over West Bengal\u2019s Hooghly River is the pride of Kolkata and no trip to Kolkata is complete without exploring the Howrah Bridge<\/li>\n<li>The Victoria Memorial Palace, built in the honor of the iconic Queen Victoria is worth gazing at for its beautiful architecture<\/li>\n<li>Mother Teresa House is something that can\u2019t be missed during a Kolkata tour. The tomb draws huge crowds every month and one can even get to see the bed used by the famous personality<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Indian_Museum,_Kolkata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indian Museum<\/a>\u00a0is India\u2019s first and largest museum and is worth touring for getting glimpses of the rich antiques that speak about the culture and history of India from the pre-historic period<\/li>\n<li>Tram rides on the roads of Kolkata are truly fascinating. Explore the city of joy using a tram for a different Kolkata experience.<\/li>\n<li>Birla Planetarium tops the list of attractions for kids in Kolkata.

The Bengali cuisine is characterized by a sweet taste through the use of sweet spices like dry fruits and this is strong a Persian influence from the Mughal kings who once ruled Kolkata. The Delish local foods of Kolkata are endless but the must-tastes are<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kathi roll of Kolkata- a flattened dough made of wheat that is heated on both sides with some oil on a pan and rolled with a stuffing of either cooked vegetables or cooked diced chicken along with some freshly prepared seasoning<\/li>\n<li>Rasagulla- a signature-style desert from Kolkata.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our top picks for the best Bengali and Indian food joints are Kusum Rolls, Bhojohori Manna, and Sher-e-Punjab. For <a href=\"http:\/\/34.228.189.90\/street-foods-in-kolkata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">street food in Kolkata<\/a>, we suggest visiting Deckers Lane and New Market which are filled with street stalls selling all kinds of Bengali delicacies at throw-away prices. No trip to Kolkata is complete without tasting the local foods of Bengal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reaching_Kolkata\"><\/span><strong>Reaching Kolkata<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there are many ways to reach Kolkata for the locales including the popular bus, train and private car modes, we highly recommend taking a flight to Kolkata which simplifies the accessibility of Kolkata for people from far-off places.

You could also hire a private car or a bicycle to get around the city to bring out the adventurer in you. We highly recommend using a combination of all the modes for getting the best of everything. Taxis in Kolkata are the classic Ambassador cars like in Mumbai city and they are all metered-taxis and usually, in most cases, the taxi drivers in Kolkata very rarely turn the meters on and they try to charge customers exorbitant amounts for the rides. A better alternative to taxis is using the Ola and Uber cab rides which are a lot cheaper and can only be pre-booked from the respective Apps through the mobile phones linked to a local number.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you have read our <a href=\"http:\/\/34.228.189.90\/travel-guide-to-kolkata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">travel guide to Kolkata<\/a>, it\u2019s about time you planned for a trip to Kolkata to get mesmerized by its attractions.
