  • Most cultured city in India
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/13/05
    Of all the 5 times that I have visited Calcutta,I invariably end up comparing it with Bombay, Delhi and Chennai.
    Travel, eateries, traffic and weather are much more convenient than Mumbai.
    Public attitude and safety is much better than Delhi.
    Its notches above Chennai in every aspect.
    I am unfortunate that I could not find a job of my field in Calcutta, else I would have settled in Calcutta itself

  • Really a great city
    By Somdev, 09/17/05
    Calcutta or Kolkata is the best city worth travelling in eastern India. The people are very friendly, helpful and cultured. You simply love the delicious Bengali dishes. The british structures and modern Indian bridges, stadiums will facinate any tourist. The theatre-auditoriums, art galleries and other cultural points are very rich and attractive to like-minded paople.

  • Crown of Eastern British Empire
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/09/05
    There were many places like the Victoria Memorial, Shahid minar and the Eden Gardens, marvelously made, showing the glory of British Empire at that time, and very well mentained.

    Besides it the Great Temple of Kali, Birla Planeterium are also a must.

    the people are very friendly, interested in the traveller, not necessarily just his/her money. Beautiful landscapes and architecture and unforgettable food. Very walkable, safe
