Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911, and its port, jute trade and publishing houses made it the commercial centre of the east. It opened the country's first metro in 1984, and College Street remains one of the largest second-hand book markets in India. Visitors come for the Victoria Memorial, the ghats along the Hooghly, Bengali sweets and fish, and above all for Durga Puja in autumn, which UNESCO added to its intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Park Street and the streets around Esplanade suit a short trip, with New Market, the Maidan and the Victoria Memorial close by; Salt Lake and New Town are nearer the airport and the IT offices. The Blue Line metro is the fastest way north and south, and the Green Line now crosses the river to Howrah. Yellow Ambassador taxis still run on the meter alongside app cabs.
November to February brings dry, mild days. Durga Puja falls in September or October; during the five main days, roads near the large pandals close to traffic, hotel rates rise and flights fill early. Kali Puja and Diwali follow a few weeks later. Heavy monsoon showers from June to September can leave streets waterlogged. The Victoria Memorial museum is closed on Mondays. Expect long queues at Kalighat and Dakshineswar on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and leave footwear at the counters outside.
November to February, with days of about 12-27°C and little rain. The monsoon runs from June to September.
By Air: Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) is at Dum Dum, about 16 km from Dalhousie Square; allow 45-75 minutes by road. The Yellow Line metro stops at Jai Hind (Biman Bandar) station, and WBTC air-conditioned buses, prepaid yellow taxis and app cabs serve the terminal.
By Rail: Howrah and Sealdah are the main terminals, with Shalimar and Kolkata (Chitpur) handling some long-distance trains. Rajdhani services run to New Delhi, and the Vande Bharat sleeper links Howrah with Guwahati.
By Road: NH 19 runs north-west towards Durgapur and Delhi, and NH 16 south to Odisha. State and private buses leave from the Esplanade bus terminus for Digha, Siliguri and other destinations.

Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.
For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.
The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.
November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.
By Air: Chennai International Airport (MAA) is at Tirusulam, about 21 km south-west of the city centre; allow 45-75 minutes by road. The Blue Line metro stops at the airport, Tirusulam suburban station is linked to the terminals, and MTC buses, prepaid taxis and app cabs are available.
By Rail: Chennai Central (MGR Central) and Chennai Egmore are the main terminals. Vande Bharat trains run to Mysuru via Bengaluru, to Coimbatore and to Tirunelveli, and the Tamil Nadu Express links Central with New Delhi.
