The city of joy is the hive of activity

Kolkata, the city of joy, is quite more than a fairy destination for some people. It's a city of culture blended with the sweetness of the intellectual skills of individuals. I think you people might be wondering why I have used the word, "fairy destination" while featuring the city, right? Then the best reason for this would be the scenic and evergreen beauty of the city. The scenic looks of the city make it almost an imaginary destination of a fairy tale. The unique places that add to the beauty of the city, make it unique from all other places in India. We all know that India is a country with cultural diversities. This is very much evident in "the city of joy". It's the hive of activity binding together the various people of various cultural diversities.

The “City of Joy” has many lucrative tour destinations which attract thousands of people on a daily basis. There are uncountable lucrative places which have given the city, the tagline of “fairytale destination”. Those are the Vidyasagar Setu, Princep Ghat, Victoria Memorial, Birla Planetarium, Eco Park and many more. There are uncountable beautiful places situated in the remote areas as well. There are various intellectual places for the kids which provide them amusement along with intellectual knowledge. The most famous one is the Science City. A visit to the Science City, shall not only add to the knowledge of the kids but also the amusement factors. Recently, the Eco Park has been developed as one of the best tourist spots in all over India, making it “a must to visit” for the tourists. The superb decorations of the Vidyasagar Setu have made it the most epic Setu of the country. I think it’s an amazing experience for the tourists to sit near the banks of the river Ganges and observe the Setu carefully. I can say it with a guarantee that it would give them the most peaceful experience ever. The scenic view of the Vidyasagar Setu blended with the serenity of the Ganges gives the visitors the most awaited inner peace. One shall forget all his sorrows and miseries of life while sitting there for hours. Apart from cultural heritage, Kolkata is also famous for its religious heritage. It's a pilgrimage center for various pilgrims as well. Thousands of pilgrims visit Kolkata every year for its famous religious destinations which bind people together from different parts of the world. The Dakshineshwar Temple, the Belur Math, the Kalighat and the Tarapith are some of the most famous religious centers where most of the pilgrims visit every year.
