Explore the Victoria Memorial (white marble monument with museum and gardens), cross the Howrah Bridge (iconic cantilever bridge over the Hooghly River), browse the Indian Museum (oldest and largest museum in India with diverse collections), and try street food like puchka (crispy hollow puris filled with spicy tamarind water) at Park Street.
