"The City of Nawabs and Kebabs"

Lucknow tourism.

The capital and the largest city of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, situated on the banks of river Gomti, welcomes you with a heartwarming note of " Muskuraiyein, kyunki aap Lucknow mein hai ". A city of kebabs and nawabs, of architecture and history, of literature and culture – that is Lucknow in a nutshell for you. From a slice of rich colonial history to modernized museums, this artistic hub of Awadh region beautifully brings together the opulence of a glittering past and the simplicity of a modern city.

Rumi Darwaza , the Mughal Gateway built in the centre of the capital divides Lucknow into 'Old Lucknow' which is ancient, and more crowded, and the 'New Lucknow' which is urban and one of the most planned cities of Asia. Most of Old Lucknow is well-known for its bustling vibrant streets, authentic, mouth-watering kebab and biriyani outlets, lakhnavi chikan market, and the wholesale jewellery stores. New Lucknow, on the other hand, hosts people of varied cultures and is structurally planned with wide roads, shopping malls and parks built to serve diverse entertainment purposes. The most famous among these parks are the Ambedkar Park and the Gomti Riverfront Park, both ideal places for visiting and strolling around with friends and family in the evening.  Hazratganj , a major shopping area located in the heart of Lucknow, is famous for its 'chaat' and 'kulfi' eateries, posh Mughlai restaurants, and various shopping complexes. All the buildings in Hazratganj have a distinct Victorian architecture, and you can shop for literally anything – starting from inexpensive accessories and trinkets to high-end clothes, shoes and jewellery.  The people of Lucknow are known for their courtly manners and endearing ' pehle aap ' (you first) culture, which always leaves behind a smile on the faces of its visitors.

Situated on the banks of river Gomti, it is one of the popular places to visit in India , and among the must include places in Uttar Pradesh tour packages .

From a slice of rich colonial history to modernized museums, Lucknow tour packages beautifully bring together the opulence of a glittering past and the simplicity of a modern city. Lucknow, along with Agra and Varanasi, is in the Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc. Rumi Darwaza, the Mughal Gateway divides Lucknow into two parts, the more crowded 'Old Lucknow' and the 'New Lucknow' which is urban and one of the most planned cities of Asia. The history of Lucknow can be traced back to the ancient times of the Suryavanshi dynasty. It is believed that Lord Laxmana, brother of Lord Rama laid the foundation of the city on the banks of river Gomti which was then called Laxmanpur. Earlier, the city was a part of the Awadh region which was ruled by the Sharqi Sultanate of Jaunpur from 1394 to 1478. Emperor Humayun made it a part of the Mughal Empire around 1555. Emperor Jahangir (1569-1627) granted an estate in Awadh to Sheikh Abdul Rahim, who later built Machchi Bhawan on this estate. It later became the seat of power from where his descendants, the Sheikhzadas, controlled the region. Under the rule of the Nawabs, Lucknow flourished like never before and several monuments were constructed. In 1856, the British East India Company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and, in 1857, transferred it to the British Raj. Along with the rest of India, Lucknow became independent from Britain on 15 August 1947. Occupying the central region of the Heritage Arc, Lucknow has been winning the hearts of tourists throughout the world for its Nawabi finesse for ages. Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara, Rumi Darwaza, Hazratganj, Lucknow Zoo, Lucknow Museum, Dilkusha Garden, Chattra Manzil, Ram Krishna Math, La Martiniere, etc., are some of the major and top places to visit in Lucknow . The city is famous for its Adab and Tehzeeb (manners and hospitality), intricate embroidery, and dance forms such as Kathak. Besides, this historical city is also known for its elaborate Nawabi-style cuisine which includes biryanis, kebabs, and bread. The reputation of Lucknow's kebabs is not limited to the local population and the dish attracts people from other cities as well as other countries. The city of Nawabs is also known for its chaats, street food, kulfi, paan, and sweets. Known for its rich cultural heritage, festivals are celebrated with much enthusiasm and fanfare in Lucknow. Eid, Christmas, Diwali, Holi, Lucknow Festival, Vrindavan Sharadotsav, Muharram, and Deva Mela are some of the popular festivals celebrated here. Organized jointly by UP Tourism and Lucknow district administration, Lucknow Festival is a ten-day-long festival that showcases the rich and unique culture, arts and crafts, and the finer aspects of the lifestyle of Lucknow. Colorful processions, traditional dramas, Kathak dances in the style of Lucknow Gharana, Sarangi and sitar recitals, Ghazals, Qawalis, and Thumri produce a cheerful atmosphere during the festival.
