Lucknow became the capital of the Nawabs of Awadh in the late 18th century, and their buildings, from the Bara Imambara to the Rumi Darwaza, still define the old city along the Gomti. The modern economy rests on state administration, education, healthcare, handicrafts and a growing services sector. Visitors come for kebabs and biryani in Chowk and Aminabad, chikankari shopping, the ruins of the Residency from the 1857 siege, and road trips to Ayodhya, about 135 km east.
Hazratganj, the central shopping street, suits a short stay, while Gomti Nagar is better placed for offices and newer hotels. Lucknow Metro's Red Line runs from the airport through Charbagh station and Hazratganj to Munshi Pulia, so the airport is on the metro. The 63 km expressway to Kanpur, inaugurated on 13 July 2026 and opened to traffic the next day, has cut the drive between the two cities to well under an hour; it has no toll booths and collects tolls through FASTag and number-plate cameras. Charbagh station, a red-brick building completed in 1914, is worth a look even if you are not catching a train.
October to March is the most comfortable season, though December and January bring dense fog that often delays early flights and trains. May and June are very hot. Muharram processions pass through the old city, and the Lucknow Mahotsav is held in the winter months. The Bara Imambara ticket includes the Bhool Bhulaiya maze and the Shahi Baoli stepwell; remove your shoes and dress modestly inside the complex. For food, the kebab shops of Chowk and Aminabad are busiest in the evening, and many close by late night. Chikankari prices vary widely with the quality of the embroidery, so compare a few shops before buying.
October to March, with days of about 8-28°C; December and January bring dense morning fog. May and June often pass 42°C.

Patna occupies the site of Pataliputra, capital of the Mauryan and Gupta empires, and remains the administrative and commercial centre of Bihar. Its economy runs on government, trade, education and services, and many families have members working in other states, so flights and trains fill up around Chhath and Diwali. Visitors come for the Bihar Museum and Takht Sri Patna Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh, and use the city as the gateway to Nalanda, Rajgir, Vaishali and Bodh Gaya.
Fraser Road, Boring Road and the area around Gandhi Maidan are central for a short stay and close to the museums. App cabs, auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws are the usual way around, as the metro so far covers only a short stretch on the eastern side of the city. The airport runway is short, so only narrow-body aircraft fly here.
October to March is the best season. December and January bring dense fog that delays morning flights and trains, and May and June are very hot. Chhath Puja, six days after Diwali, fills the ghats along the Ganga and makes travel into Patna very busy. The Bihar Museum is closed on Mondays. At Takht Sri Patna Sahib, cover your head, remove your shoes and wash your feet before entering; the community kitchen serves langar to all visitors.
