Kolkata One Day Tour – Things To Do in Kolkata in One Day

Kolkata is popular as a travel destination among tourists but that is mostly around Durga Puja time. Of late, there is a change in trend. People travel to Kolkata round the year on business or just to experience the city. Plan your Kolkata one day tour by reading this post where we bring to you the best things to do in Kolkata in one day.

In a popular travel magazine that we read recently, Kolkata in India has been listed as one of the top 20 places to visit in the year 2020. Kolkata is popular as a travel destination among tourists but that is mostly around Durga Puja time.  Kolkata is known for its diverse history, arts, theatre, and literature. There’s a lot that one can explore in Kolkata in one day or two days.

Kolkata – the City of Joy is also a city of diversities. Kolkata was the capital of British India until the year 1911. Hence this city is a treasure trove of colonial architecture and the remnants of British and Anglo-India culture in India are still visible in Kolkata. Parallelly, by way of interesting museums, parks, malls, café, discotheques, and a planetarium, the modern pulse of the city adds a refreshing flavor in the cultural fabric of the city. Talking about culture, Kolkata has the title of being the “ Cultural Capital of India ” as well. In fact, any artist, worth their salt, considers themselves successful after he or she has performed before the discerning audience of Kolkata.

Of late, there is a change in trend. People travel to Kolkata round the year on business or just to experience the city. Plan your Kolkata one day tour by reading this post where we bring to you the best things to do in Kolkata in one day.

Kolkata One Day Tour – Things to do in Kolkata in one day

This is no surprise at all. Calcutta has so much to offer in terms of tourism, food, culture, and shopping that one can comfortably spend a week and still feel that there was not enough time. However, for some of you, it could be just a day. Maybe you are hopping and wish to have a first look at Kolkata or you have Sunday on hand and choose to come east. There is no reason to lose heart since from experience we can say that a lot can be covered in a single day in Calcutta.

There are two major reasons for this. Firstly, the city is not very spread out and places are located a couple of kilometers from each other. The second is that the public transport system, traditionally, has been robust in Kolkata. There are multiple modes of active transport in Calcutta such as yellow taxis, radio taxis, a solid network of buses, the metro rail, local trains, auto rickshaws, electronic rickshaws, ferry, and last but not the least, the tram. Given the plethora of transport options, it is not very difficult traveling from point A to point B in this city.

Here is a small guide as to how you can utilize these advantages, and if you have just a single day for Kolkata, you make the most of the Kolkata one day tour. It is just what we think can be covered in a day and is by no means exhaustive. If you would want to add something to this guide, we would love the recommendation. Read on to find out what to do in Kolkata one day tour.

What all can I do in a day in Kolkata – One day Kolkata city tour

Given that you have just a day, it is best to start bright and early for the Kolkata day tour. Kolkata traditionally wakes up early and one can see small stoves lit inside tea stalls even before daybreak. Most workers start their day with a cup of tea and a French heart cookie, renamed “Projapati biscuit” (Projapati means butterfly) from these tea shacks. The city wakes up to tung tung sound of hand pull rickshaw bells as rickshaw pullers also like starting early before the sun gets hot.

In terms of transport, you can call for a radio taxi since the popular cab aggregators have a solid network in Kolkata. But we suggest taking the famous yellow taxi of Kolkata and heading towards the first destination.

Chinese breakfast at Tiretti Bazaar

Kolkata is the only Indian city with a bright China Town complete with Chinese temples and shoemakers. The earlier China Town was at the centrally located Tiretti Bazar. While China Town in Kolkata has now relocated to Tangra in a different zone of the city, Tiretti Bazar has still retained the Chinese breakfast market. The market starts by 6 or 6.30 a.m. and gets over by 7.30 – 8 a.m. The dumplings, meatball soup, unique bread, red bean stuffed bao buns, pork-stuffed buns, and sticky rice pudding and almond pie are a must-have. While most food options are non-vegetarian, items like bread, vegetable momos, rice puddings and so on cater to vegetarian dietary choice. To the best of our recollection, breakfast for 3 people cost us Rs. 500 here and we were full to the brim. Given the variety of food items at the most affordable prices here, it is not difficult to fill oneself up and keep digesting the grub in the next couple of hours.

Victoria Memorial, Kolkata

You can fly a taxi again from Tiretti Bazar to Victoria Memorial, or you can use the metro rail too.

Victoria Memorial is a magnificent marble palatial building in the heart of Kolkata. The structure was built in the memory of Queen Victoria, the monarch of the United Kingdom. She was also known as the “Empress of India”.

Victoria Memorial is now a museum with an extensive collection of marble sculptures, relics, old coins and manuscripts, and watercolors and oil paintings. It also houses a Calcutta gallery which showcases the history of Kolkata from the days of Job Charnock, an officer of the East India Company, who is also credited for being the founder of the city of Kolkata. The Memorial is surrounded by well maintained sprawling lawns and these spaces are like the lungs of the city. If you are succor for old-style, a horse-drawn carriage or tanga ride around Victoria Memorial is highly recommended.

The Victoria Memorial opens at 10 a.m. and can take you half a day. However, the place can be covered comfortably in one and one and a half hours.  That would leave you enough time for another activity before lunch.

Indian Museum, Kolkata

The Indian Museum is not far from the Victoria Memorial. It is the 9 th oldest museum in the world and the oldest not only in India but also in Asia. The building, dating back to the year 1814, is a very art deco style with ornamental pillars and a huge central courtyard. It has many galleries and the anthropology, botany, and zoology galleries are very popular. We recall, as children, we would tend to get very excited with the dinosaur skeleton and the remains of the Egyptian mummy that are on display here. But we change with time and now, we tend to gravitate towards Indian arts, textiles, and ancient history galleries.

We are museum buffs and can easily spend a day here. However, you can have a first impression in an hour to an hour and a half in your Kolkata one day tour.

St. Paul’s Cathedral, Kolkata

St. Paul’s Cathedral is a beautiful sample of Gothic architecture, the way it manifested in India in the colonial era. The cathedral was completed in the year 1847 and has a most impressive façade. It is adjacent to Victoria Memorial and you can pass by St. Paul’s on your way from Victoria Memorial to Indian Museum. One can also enter the Cathedral and it is gorgeous from inside too, what with all the solid wood pews, beautiful stained-glass paintings, and a grand organ. Given the tight timeline, maybe that can be kept for a later leisurely trip.

Lunch – Shiraz biryani, Kolkata

Wajed Ali Shah was exiled to Kolkata from Awadh. He brought along his chefs and bawarchis and their Awadhi style of cooking. The biryani was a hit with people from Kolkata, and now, peppered with local tastes, it is a dish for which aficionados do not mind traveling back to the city. It is mild and subtly flavored with saffron, rose water and aromatic spices. The rice melts in the mouth and meat is cooked to softness.

If you are a biryani fan like us or like Mughlai food, the biryani in Kolkata is a must-try since it is very different for biryani available in any other part of India. One of the early bawarchis in Shiraz drew lineage from a chef in Wajed Ali Shah’s kitchen and that explains their mastery on the craft.  Till some years back, Shiraz was synonymous with biryani in Kolkata. Many other biryani joints have opened in the last decade or so and we have recced some of them. Our unanimous opinion – Shiraz is the best. You can order some side dishes – like chicken chaap or raita with biryani or have the biryani on its own. They have opened a few branches in the city. However, we recommend the one on Park Street. This is the oldest Shiraz and the nearest to the Indian Museum / Victoria Memorial.

Walk along Park Street, Kolkata

Park Street is somewhat the pulse of Kolkata. It is an arterial road that has a host of beautiful shops as well as some of the most iconic restaurants in the city. Park Street is a mélange of tradition and modernity and the correct reflection of the multi-faceted pulse of Kolkata. We have been to Peter Cat for Chelo kababs. And I schooled here in St. Xavier’s, Kolkata, so a little nostalgia is normal. Come Christmas or New Year, Park Street is done up with lights and festivity spills on the streets. To digest the lunch at Shiraz, you can take a walk on Park Street, check out the lifestyle as well as sari shops on the road. One of our much-loved crafts shops – Sasha is also in the vicinity so you can visit that as well. The Oxford Book Store on Park Street also draws heavy footfall and you can potter in. Book worm or not, the book store is a beautiful space, like a book gallery. They have the Kolkata branch of the tea room Cha Bar here as well.

Flury’s, Kolkata

Talking about tea rooms in Kolkata, if you are on Park Street, you cannot skip Flury’s. They have years of heritage, and unfortunately, still no significant presence outside Kolkata. Their open sandwiches are a rage and we find that very tasty. But that can be filling and we do not want to miss dinner. Hence, we suggest you go for their rum balls with tea. You will thank us later.

Tram ride in Kolkata

A must-do in Kolkata is a tram ride. Kolkata has been the only city in India that has tram transport. Dating back to the year 1902, it is still an active mode of commute in the city. The tram cars, like mini trains, meander on their tracks through the heart of the city. It is sheer romance and cathartic experience to see the busy world pass by. You can take a tram from Park Street and reach our next halt – Gariahat Market.

Shopping in Kolkata – Gariahat Market

We love the diversity of handicrafts and handloom in India. In fact, local arts are an integral part of experiencing a culture. It is just not the visual appeal; markets provide insight into the ethos of the city. Kolkata shopping scene is a harmonious fusion of colonial tastes with contemporary styles and Non-Bengali influences all peppered with the inherent Bengali penchant for art.

Bengali handloom is very famous all over India. Muslin from Bengal, historically, was a priced commodity all across the globe. We now move to the southern part of the city and Gariahat Market here is a one-stop zone. Be it Bengali handloom, famous as Tant saris, or terracotta, jute items or Khadi weaves, clay pottery, Batik art, Kantha embroidery, and even conch shell craft items – one can find all of that in this market. Also, if you wish to try some Bengali sweets or Mishti , or get some packed, you will find many confectioners here. And you can safely walk into any sweet shop here. Given the heavy competition in the sweet business, every shop is standard and does not disappoint. Sweets are mostly sold by the piece and not by weight in Kolkata.

It is still old-style shops in Gariahat with a lot of interaction between the customers and shop keepers. The chatty atmosphere has a very homely feel. While Bangla is the local language, people in Kolkata are well conversant in Hindi and communicate in workable English as well. Different shops in the market have different closing hours. However, the market is busy till between 9 to 10 p.m. so – no rush.

Dinner at Bengali restaurant

Bengalis eat late dinner so restaurants are open till late. You should have worked up a healthy appetite by now and we suggest a sumptuous Bengali dinner. There are many popular places in the Gariahat zone either in the market or in the proximity. Of the cuff we can think of three decent places that are most convenient – Bhajahari Manna; Sudipar Rannaghar and 6 Ballygunge Place. You can visit any of these places and if you are not familiar with Bengali food, do ask the ordering staff or the chef for recommendations. The other way to do it is by ordering a platter. Bengali meals are typically served in course and are consumed in a specific order depending on the kind of taste. The servers can help you with that.

It behooves that we break a myth here about Bengali food. While non-vegetarian food is the more popular part of Bengali cuisine, there is a rich repertoire of vegetarian fare as well. No offense to paneer lovers, but vegetarian food here goes way beyond paneer and many such dishes also eschew onions – garlic. If you prefer a vegetarian diet, be a little adventurous and try something new.

And last but not least on this – fish is NOT considered vegetarian in Kolkata or anywhere in Bengal.

Howrah Bridge – Kolkata

That’s how you can spend a day in Kolkata. If you are taking a train out of the city on your way back, you may be traveling out of Howrah station. In such a case, you would be traveling on Howrah Bridge. It is a beautiful piece of engineering and rather stunning from a distance. You needn’t stop though; you can probably take photos from your vehicle window.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. We would want to take you to so many more places in Kolkata. In fact, there are some great places outside Kolkata but in convenient proximity. Maybe next time!

Pro – tips on Kolkata

First, Kolkata is quite humid major part of the year so light cotton clothing really helps.

Second, like the greater part of India, the best time to visit Kolkata and cover most of the city is between the months of October to March. The weather is really pleasant during this period.

Third, Durga Puja is huge in Kolkata. It is like a carnival and a must-see. However, most other places remain shut since the whole city is on holiday for these 5 days or so. If you visit for a day during the Durga Puja period, you would get to experience the spectacular festival but not much of Kolkata otherwise.

8 Places to Visit in Kolkata in One Day (2024)

Are you looking for the best places to visit in Kolkata in one day? Then you have come to the right place!

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, is one of my favourite cities in India. This was the capital of the country until it was moved to Delhi in 1911 and it is often nicknamed the City of Joy .

This city has got a lot to offer, from delicious street food and interesting museums to beautiful landmarks and mystical temples.

I visited Kolkata twice and spent a total of three weeks here exploring everything it has to offer. This guide features the 8 best places to visit if you’re planning on spending one day in Kolkata as a first-timer . This will be just enough time to see Kolkata’s most beautiful monuments and some other of the city’s highlights.

So, let’s dive right into it, here are the best places to visit in Kolkata in 1 day.

The best places to visit in Kolkata in one day

1. victoria memorial.

The Victoria Memorial had to be first on this list as this is one of the most famous landmarks in India .

This enormous marble building was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century and dedicated to Queen Victoria who ruled over British India.

Built in Indo-Saracenic revivalist style, the Victoria Memorial features a mix of British and Mughal elements. Its gardens are spectacular too and one of the best things to do in Kolkata is to take a stroll here.

Inside the Victoria Memorial, you will find a museum full of artefacts that once belonged to Queen Victoria along with a collection of paintings and manuscripts.

2. St. Paul’s Cathedral

This Anglican cathedral is one of Kolkata’s most famous colonial buildings and it is just a short walk from the Victoria Memorial. It was completed in 1847 and was the first Episcopal church in Asia.

St. Paul’s Cathedral was built to replace another, smaller church. As Kolkata’s European community kept growing, this church wasn’t large enough to accommodate everyone anymore, hence a bigger cathedral had to be built.

This cathedral’s interior is worth visiting too. Here, you will find stained glass windows, frescoes, sculptures and more.

3. Park Street

A visit to Kolkata wouldn’t be complete without strolling through Park Street, which is often dubbed the “street that never sleeps” or “food street”.

Park Steet has been one of the most popular streets in Kolkata since the 1970s and it is full of shops, pubs, restaurants and nightclubs .

In the olden days, however, this street was known as Burial Ground Road due to its large amount of cemeteries and this was not a popular area to live in. You will still find the colonial South Park Street Cemetery here today.

This is a great place to have lunch or dinner or to visit one of the pubs in the evening.

4. Nakhoda Mosque

Nakhoda Mosque, the principal mosque in Kolkata , is one of my favourite pieces of architecture in the city. This is the largest mosque in West Bengal and it can accommodate around 10,000 devotees at a time for prayers.

Completed in 1926, the Nahkoda Mosque was built to replace two other mosques that once stood on these grounds. Its architecture was inspired by Akbar’s Tomb in Sikandra , which is close to Agra, the city of the famous Taj Mahal .

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to visit this mosque’s interior, as I was there during prayer hour. This is a good reason to go back to Kolkata, though.

5. Mother House

Mother Theresa lived in Kolkata for most of her life and the house in which she lived houses a small museum dedicated to her.

The Mother House is the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, but you will also find a museum displaying Mother Theresa’s belongings here, as well as the room in which she lived for 50 years.

Apart from that, Mother Theresa’s tomb can also be found at the Mother House. This is where she was buried in 1997 and today, many people come here to pay their respects and pray.

The Mother House is free to visit. It is good to know that it is open from 8 am to 12 pm in the morning and 3 pm to 6 pm in the afternoon every day except for Thursdays.

6. Belur Math

The Belur Math Temple is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, a spiritual organization founded by Swami Vivekananda. Its aim is to spread the teachings of Vedanta, a Hindu philosophy, and to improve the social conditions of Indians.

What makes this temple so interesting is that its architecture features Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist and Christian elements. This stands a symbol of the unity of all religions .

The Belur Math Temple complex consists of multiple buildings and it is definitely worth checking out during a day in Kolkata.

7. Howrah Bridge and Hooghly River

Howrah Bridge is one of the most famous landmarks in Kolkata and it i

s one of the longest cantilever bridges in the world .

This bridge was constructed in the 1940s to replace another bridge that couldn’t handle the high amount of traffic that crossed it on a daily basis.

The best way to see this bridge is by crossing the Hooghly River by ferry. These are cheap, they leave often and, on top of that, it is a fun experience!

8. Magen David Synagogue

The Magen David Synagogue is the biggest synagogue in Kolkata . It was built by Elias Joseph Ezra, a member of a very influential Jewish family, in 1884.

Back in the day, Kolkata had a large Jewish community, as Jewish merchants from Aleppo and Baghdad settled in this city. Today, however, it is estimated that only 20 or 30 Jews still live in Kolkata. The majority immigrated to countries like Australia and Canada after India’s independence in 1947.

This synagogue is now maintained by Kolkata’s Muslim community and it is quite an interesting place to visit.

Map of the places to visit in Kolkata in 1 day

You will find a map with the places that are featured on this list below.

Other places to visit in Kolkata if you have more time

There are plenty of other interesting places to visit in Kolkata if you have more than one day in this city. You will find the most interesting ones below.

• Tagore’s House: This is the ancestral house of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, and it houses a museum dedicated to his life and work.
• Indian Museum: The Indian Museum is the oldest and largest museum in the country. It is home to an impressive collection of artefacts that will teach you more about the history of India.
• Dakshineswar Kali Temple: This beautiful Hindu temple is located on the banks of the river Hooghly. It was built by Indian businesswoman Rani Rashmoni, who was a devotee of Kali, in the 19th century.
• St. John’s Church: St. John’s Church is one of the oldest churches in Kolkata and it is also home to the grave of Job Charnock, who is considered to be the founder of this city.
• South Park Street Cemetery : Built in the 18th century, this cemetery used to be known as the Great Christian Burial Ground and it is said to be the most haunted place in Kolkata.
• Writer’s Building: If you’re into architecture, this monument is worth checking out. Writer’s Building is a huge structure that was built in 1777. It was originally built to house junior clerks but is now the seat of the State Government of West Bengal.

How to get around Kolkata

Although some parts of the city are walkable, Kolkata is quite big and most of its tourist attractions are not located very close to each other. The best ways to get around the city is by:

• Metro: Kolkata has an extensive metro system. Taking the metro was my favourite way of getting around the city; it doesn’t cost much and it is fast.
• Taxi: You can also hire a private car for a day, though this will be more expensive. Kolkata is famous for its old-school yellow cabs (which I’m obsessed with).
• Auto-rickshaw: There are rickshaws in Kolkata, but this didn’t work very well for me and I’m still not sure why. They didn’t show up when I used the Ola app and refused to take me when I asked in person.
• Scooter: If you’re confident enough to drive in Indian cities, another option is to rent a scooter. This is the most flexible way of getting around Kolkata.

Where to stay in Kolkata

Kolkata is a huge metropolis with an abundance of places to stay, it all depends on your taste and budget. You will find my top recommendations below:

• Central Bed & Breakfast (⭐ 9.4/10): Central Bed & Breakfast offers beautiful rooms in a perfect location – just 1,5 km from Park Street and from the Victoria Memorial. Breakfast is available and there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
• The Harrington Residency (⭐ 9.0/10) : This hotel is centrally located and offers comfortable, spacious rooms with all the amenities you might need.
• The Oberoi Grand (⭐ 8.8/10): If you’re looking for a luxurious stay in Kolkata, The Oberoi Grand is the place for you. This hotel comes with an outdoor swimming pool, a spa and a gym. Its rooms are stunning and there’s an onsite restaurant too.

Places to visit in Kolkata in one day: Final thoughts

And voila, this was my guide on how to spend one day in Kolkata! I hope that you have found exactly what you were looking for in this post and that you will have an amazing time exploring the so-called City of Joy .

Kolkata is an amazing destination with plenty of interesting places to discover, this is one of my favourite cities in India.
