Regardless of which hotel or vacation rental you are staying in, you must visit the Ichhapur Defence Estate, which is 22.4 km from the airport. If you are a history buff like me, then you will be fascinated by the trivia and architecture of the colonial era that ruled the city once upon a time. While you are staying in the city, you can also schedule a visit to Chandannagar Museum and Rifle Factory, and explore the rich stories of these places steeped in the history of the Indo-British times.

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.

One of my favorite places near this hotel is Science City. I still remember the make-believe experience of going deep inside a pyramid via the motion simulator 'time machine' as a school kid. The Fulldome 3D Digital Theater shows films on different topics in natural sciences. Dynamotion Hall and Science Exploration Hall are known for a diverse gamut of interactive science installations that help visitors learn about different scientific laws in a fun way. The complex also has a cable car service for guests to enjoy the thrill of traveling in the air and enjoying the view of this magical place as well as the cityscape.

The hotel is about a seven-minute drive away from Aquatica Banquet Resort & Water Park. I remember some of my most memorable summer holidays in Kolkata being spent at Aquatica. The city starts to get hot right after March and what better way to cool yourself than making a splash in a waterpark? You will find some of the best roller coasters and water rides here. It is natural that you would feel hungry after an eventful day in the water. I like to have the non-veg thali on offer whenever I visit.

A must-visit while staying here is the Zoological Garden, Alipore. It is a major crowd-puller in winter, especially for families with kids. I remember visiting the zoo with my grandmother, aunts, and cousins during winter vacation. Once you have met the residents of the zoo, such as the Bengal tiger, the fishing cats, the giraffes, the sloth bear, different kinds of deer, the colorful birds, and the reptiles, you can head to the restaurant for some refreshments. Many people also carry picnic baskets, but make sure that you don't litter or feed the animals.

The hotel is only a leisurely stroll away from Victoria Memorial. Some of my fondest memories when I was a child are about family trips to Maidan and the iconic Victoria Memorial. The vast expanse of Maidan is bustling with young couples on dates, boys playing cricket and football, families enjoying picnics and horse rides, and locals jogging and doing their morning walks. After having spent some time here with cousins, we used to head to the nearby St. Paul's Cathedral and pray at the evening mass. Sitting by the banks of the Hooghly River while watching the sun go down on the city, is a spectacular experience. You can hop aboard the tram right after and enjoy a dreamy ride as it chugs along on the quaint streets of this historical city.

Traveler's tips
Just so you know, this resort is actually not within Kolkata but a comfortable 1-hour drive away. I've stayed at their property and the arrangements are pretty decent. It's quite economical if you're a big group and you're hiring their 2-3-bedroom villas. We'd taken the one with a private pool. Aside from the fact that the pool wasn't very clean, it's a value-for-money destination if you're looking to chill with your friends or family for a couple of days. They position themselves as a 'spa resort', so they exude a wellness vibe. But apart from a wholesome range of spa packages, they also have a big communal pool, sports arena and outdoor activities for your entertainment.

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.

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.

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.
