One of most enchanting cites in the world, Kolkata or Calcutta, as it was formerly named, captivates the imagination of everyone who visits this city. Your first impression of this metropolis will be somewhat different from that which you will make after staying a few days in the city. The very first idea of the city will be that Kolkata is a city of traffic jam, congested roads, political rallies and teeming millions in a hurry. But as you spend few days in the city, you will find it remarkably different from your idea on your first rendezvous with the city.
Apart from being the capital of the eastern state of West Bengal, Kolkata is the eastern gateway of India. The second most populated city in India, Kolkata attracts visitors in large number. The prominent places of interest within the precincts of the city are Victoria Memorial, Indian Museum, Writers Buildings, Howrah Bridge, Kalighat Temple and Second Hoogly Bridge.
