Exploring the heritage of Kolkata, fondly called the “City of Joy,” is truly a delightful experience, with its rich history, culture, and stunning architecture.

    Victoria Memorial Hall

    The Victoria Memorial is a grand white marble monument built between 1906 and 1921 in memory of Queen Victoria (1819–1901). Today, it serves as both a museum and a popular tourist attraction managed by the Ministry of Culture. Located on the Maidan near Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road), the memorial covers 57 acres of land with 21 landscaped gardens. Inside, it houses over 28,000 artifacts and nearly 4,000 artistic paintings. Attracting around 2 million visitors each year, the Victoria Memorial remains one of the most iconic landmarks to visit in Kolkata.

    Our trip ends at Prinsep Ghat, located along the banks of the Hooghly River. Built during British rule, this memorial reflects a blend of Greek and Gothic architecture. At night, the area comes alive as the Setu glows with dazzling lights, making it one of the best places to visit in Kolkata after dark. It’s also a favorite picnic spot where families come to relax and enjoy the cool breeze from the river.
