Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the monsoon season (June to September). Book in advance, especially if traveling during Durga Puja (October) or Christmas. Look for deals on weekdays for better rates.

Food to try

Don't miss the Kolkata-style biryani, known for its subtle spicing and the inclusion of a potato. Sample phuchka, a popular street food similar to panipuri, from vendors around Victoria Memorial. Try রসগোল্লা (Rosogolla) in the Lake Market area.

Getting around

Kolkata has a metro system, but it doesn't cover the entire city. App-based cabs like Ola and Uber are readily available. Yellow taxis are also common, but be sure to negotiate the fare beforehand. Auto-rickshaws are good for short distances.
