Kolkata used to be the capital of the British ruled India. Each and every corner and alleyways of the city still tells stories of colonial history. A heritage walk across Kolkata will take you to some of the prominent historical places that still carry the stamp of the colonial days.
As we know from our history books, the British East India Company arrived in India initially as traders, before turning India into a colony. Kolkata, being the administrative capital of British India, enjoyed a lot of prominences. Some of the noteworthy historical tourist destinations that are covered in the heritage walk tour include the Writers' Building at Dalhousie Square (now B.B.D. Bagh), Lal Dighi, General Post Office, Eden Gardens, the cemetery of Job Charnock, Raj Bhavan, Shahid Minar, Fort William, Maidan, St. Paul's Cathedral, Victoria Memorial, South Park Street Cemetery, Howrah Bridge, and Jorasanko (the birthplace of Tagore). If possible, take a short tram ride from anywhere in North Kolkata.
