Tip from Trip101 local expert

If you are planning to book this Airbnb for a cozy stay in the City of Joy, you won't have to worry about where to eat, as the place is a stone's throw away from the famous Haldiram's on VIP Road. I have fond memories of numerous hangouts here with college friends over great food. I recommend any of the various dosas that the place serves, but the masala dosa is the best! You must also try their chola bhatura and grilled sandwiches.

This luxury hotel places you near a host of iconic city attractions. Make sure to visit the Indian Museum, just a five-minute walk from the hotel while you are here. I have fond memories of visiting this place as a kid with my family and being awestruck by the 4,000-year-old mummy in their collection. The oldest museum in India also boasts an extensive collection of Indian art from different periods. If you want to explore each section of the museum thoroughly, you will definitely need two days.

We provide them the basic needs and guidelines that the audience requires when they first step into an unknown land which we have already explored. Secondly, we are not like any other travel guides. If you are here to explore the museum, zoo, or places that you can easily google about Kolkata then Sorry, we are not the right one to help you.

Don't forget to visit Tangra, one of Kolkata's two Chinatowns, while you are staying here. Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel, this Chinese settlement was established in 1910. This neighborhood is especially known for the local eateries serving delectable Chinese-Indian dishes. Some of my personal favorites are Golden Joy Restaurant and Ah Leung. While the first one is well-known among Kolkatans, the second one is smaller and less popular. But, if you want to try unique fares such as 'Singara Chow' (steamed pork wontons with noodles) and mouthwatering chilly pork, Ah Leung is the place to go. 

Tip from Trip101 local expert

One of the best places to stay in the city, especially if you are a foodie! The hotel is minutes away from some of the best restaurants such as Beijing Restaurant, Big Boss Restaurant, and Golden Joy Restaurant in Tangra, which is Kolkata's very own Chinatown. I will recommend Golden Joy for a casual dinner with friends, or even when you are on a romantic date with your partner. I would recommend you try their roasted duck and fried prawns, apart from your usual Chinese fare.

If you are visiting Kolkata during Durga Puja, this property is a good option as it's located near several popular Puja sites, including Maddox Square Park. No other place captures the Puja vibe as much as this happening spot. Besides the central attraction, which is the magnificent Puja pandal with a traditional-style idol, the park also becomes a fairground with exciting rides and a plethora of stalls selling fast food. Meeting friends at Maddox during Puja was a ritual during my high school years and continues to be so for many youngsters. 

Tip from Trip101 local expert

I visit the nearby Dover Lane area when I am looking to get a hair spa, as the place has great salons to boast. This vacation rental is minutes away from the Ice Skating Rink, which frequently holds exhibitions, and my favorite items to shop for are handwoven sarees, jewelry, and matching accessories. If you are into history and architecture, you can also visit Birla Mandir right after. The holy place is dedicated to the worship of Radha and Krishna and is one of the most famous temples in the city. The only downside, you ask? Photography is prohibited inside the premises of the temple.

If you are into shopping, book this place for yourself and enjoy the proximity of Gariahat - one of the largest shopping centers in south Kolkata. Whether you are out with a long shopping list or just looking to window shop - Gariahat, with a wide range of shops and streetside stalls, is the place to be. I love to stroll on the pavements, looking at the knick-knacks at the stalls and occasionally picking up thrift clothes and second-hand books. It is also my mother's go-to place for festival shopping - sarees, home decor, sweets, grocery items, vegetables - everything under the sun is sold here at affordable prices. Make sure to visit RMCA Basak if you are looking to buy authentic Bangladeshi sarees, and you can't go home without trying the delicious treats at Banchharam's.
