Kolkata

Kolkata is a lively city where the past and present meet. If you walk through the busy Park Street area, you'll see a mix of shops and street food stalls that show the city's culture and its diverse people. It is known to be one of the more budget-friendly places to stay in India, making it a good place to live. Internet access is generally good, but you may face some restrictions, so plan for that. The food here is an interesting experience! Even if you eat meat, you'll be surprised at how tasty the vegetarian options are. Don’t miss local flavors, and for something different, visit the brewpubs in the area. Getting around can be challenging. Public transport options are limited, so it’s best to use prepaid taxis from the airport, as finding an Uber can be difficult. While English is often spoken, knowing a little Bengali or Hindi can help. Just remember to exchange currency at banks, and you’ll be ready to enjoy your time in Kolkata!
