Hotel prices are generally lower during the monsoon season (June to September). Book in advance if travelling during Durga Puja in October, as this is peak tourist season.

Food to try

Try the Kolkata-style biryani, known for its light spicing and the inclusion of a potato. Phuchka, a type of pani puri, is a popular street food. For sweets, sample rosogolla, a syrupy cheese dessert, available at many sweet shops.

Getting around

Kolkata has a metro system, but it doesn't cover the entire city. App-based cabs and taxis are readily available. Auto-rickshaws are common for short distances, but negotiate the fare beforehand.
