The British had big plans for Kolkata, Calcutta at that time. Once just three villages, it grew to become 'the second city of the Empire', and one of the most important cities of the world. Kolkata is often called 'The City of Palaces' because of the highest concentration of British buildings and architecture. We will show you some fascinating heritage buildings and their varied architectural styles when you walk through the earstwhile 'European' areas. We will show you things you never knew about the city, and tell you the interesting history of Calcutta. One of our most popular walks, this is the perfect introduction to British Calcutta and gives you a sneak peek into what went into the making of the Colonial Capital of India. So prepare to whet your appetite for all things Raj.
