Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) was honestly not that I expected. With it's Indian charm with English influence, it was an absolutely beautiful city fill of character and culture.
Come with me on my first day, landing in Kolkata, visiting the Indian Museum, Victoria Memorial, the beautiful parks and gardens, markets, great coffee, and amazing food.
I honestly fell in love with Kolkata and I am so surprised it's not more of a popular tourist destination. I can't wait to be back!

I am from Delhi.. But I have been living in Kolkata since 2014 and I must say it's the best Indian city after Mumbai... It's safe and it has a great culture and urbanization too.... Magnificent educational system, mind blowing architecture, kind people.... As an outsider I have never felt racism in Kolkata... Bengalis don't hate others... Everyone lives here in peace jai hind 🇮🇳❤
Kolkata is the best metro city in India to live. Specially South Kolkata. This is a comment from someone who has lived in Mumbai and Bangalore for years!! Kolkata becomes so pleasant after November! Its cultural practice, cuisines are the finest in India and it still preserves a lot of British influence...Some idiots keep on shouting for South India which is largely overrated...You see a lot of women because Bengalis treat men and women more equally than any other states in India.. In fact Bengali women are more progressive than women in rest of India..But eating South Indian food being in Kolkata is not recommended. Bengali food is far far better than South and West Indian food. So try a Bengali dish.. You will be amazed!!
As if. Then why does WB have Hanskhali n Sandeshkhali incidents ?????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂MOST safe is prolly in South

The people make the biggest difference here. Its way more warm and welcoming and there is a diverse and dense cultural identity! Hope you come back soon and spread the word!
Kolkata is underrated because the media and the national government+ national tv are don't give good attention and show good sides. It's the city that holds history and culture the most. From mughgals to Duch , french , British and ofcourse local and Bengali. It's the city that have so many museums, things that first started in India (sometimes in Asia) , biggest and oldest things . It's also ranked among the top10 cities in the world for food specially for street food, the safest city in India for 3 years .
There is nothing to do with central govt. bengalis ****ed themselves enough to throw themselves down from the map.
Ekdom...Khali Delhi r Mumbai. Ami duto sohorei gechi thekeo but believe me bhai Kolkata is Kolkata...ekta aladai byapar ache ei shohor ta te
@@avishekmitra2801 It's because current political situation. And unfortunately people got so much hatred because of political IT cells.
Kolkata r kothao nei. Beautiful, warm and charming city

May be the kids don't agree but football is more popular than cricket in Kolkata. Kolkata is crazy for football. (My favourite cricket)

Actually bro, during ipl whole stadium is filled, but even during derby matches stadiums aren't completely filled
Kolkata is underrated because the hindi speaking belt dont like the bengali community , though they are reaping the fruits of freedom due to the huge rebellion of bengali freedom fighters(you can even type on google which community in india produced the most number of freedom fighters , you'll have the answer) , you will never find them praising us because our way of culture differs from them in many ways, and they are brain washed by their media and their fore fathers into thinking their culture is the only superior one and the bengali culture is so different that we can not be hindus and our way of culture poses a threat to their way of hindutwa which to them is the only right way , when you will travel to north India ask them what they think about bengalis , and watch the reaction, in bengal ask the bengalis what we think about other cultures we will never say a single bad word. no one will tell you about this reality. Why dont you find out yourself.
We should tell more good stories about ourselves, that's the only way perception is created. People think the biggest cities in India are Delhi, Mumbai, bengalore, and Chennai. But Kolkata's GDP is bigger than Bangalore and has enough water 😂. The point is we are losing the perception and information game.
That's true man even though these people bring the most name bad to India, be tafe capital of the world, cow dung,cow urine and list goes on and on, on the other hand we brought most of good images of since independence be the first novel and so on
They (people who look down on Bengalis) are Racist, just like the Panjabi did with Bengali people. When Mujibur Rahman won the election, Punjabi generals of the Pakistan Army said, "We would never be ruled by those black, short, poor Bengalies". If He was made the prime minister of Pakistan, they would never be divided. And Pakistan would be in much better condition as he said to make Pakistan a secular country and make good relationship with India and USSR.
Sorry it's the Bengali speaking gentry of Kolkata who do not like Hindi speaking North Indians.. They refuse to speak Hindi even when its required..
@@ankanartworks55 everybody has contributed towards freedom movement. Bengalis are now at this state because of secustard bhaam ideologies, which made bengalis having sense of a false superiority.
Welcome to bengal ……… d most heritage ,culture rich city of India
💝🤣🤣🤣😜
Kolkata has given birth and nourished some Talented sons,they are Vivekananda, Rabindrnath Tagore and Netaji subhash ch. Basu, it is a centre of cultures and creeds of India, kolkata is one of the busiest and prosperous city of the world, love from WestBengal, India.
Very well covered. So refreshing to see a neutral and honest view of my city from eyes of a foreigner.
Ohh ÇalÇutta I Love you sooo much! 😘😘 Britishers 1st choice NEVER can be disappointed 💯 Kolkata is my best city after London💝156 years Kolkata was the capital of British United India 🇮🇳 ✨
Small correction the cedilla (ç)which you used in Calcutta spelling make a "s" sound not a "k" sound so if I pronounce your spelling it will be (sèlsuta).
Hey, Welcome to Kolkata and West Bengal. You can also visit Nabadwip, Mayapur, Darjeeling, Cooch Behar and many more. 😊😊😊 And also try " Sorshe ilish " ,
" Aloo Posto "

@@Kuchbhireview28 advise: do not love any political person.
You can ignore.
Jokers😂😂😂😂😂
I subscribed because you went to my hometown and said nice things about it! 😃
You visited Kolkata in the height of summer - kudos! Probably that is why there were fewer tourists around and also the crowds at the popular spots like the Victoria Memorial were less.
Bengali women (and I am one among them) are strong and opinionated. Kolkata is also a pretty safe city. Put those two together, and that is why you find more women out about in public.
Thank you for seeing the city for what it is and not its negative aspects as some tourists and travellers tend to do.
🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your comment, I absolutely loved your city and it was my pleasure to be there. I can't wait to return and explore even more, absolutely one of my favourite cities in the world 🥰
So many Indian people are coming to see the museum. It's amazing. Try some art galleries at Kolkata.
Thank you for visiting my city Kolkata. ❤

A reply on comment of visiting of visiting Kadhmir. This is expression of bad taste
Explore the New Town in Kolkata too and Barrackpore , Kalyani in Kolkata outskirts. You will love the rhythm there.
Kalyani ANd Barrackpore KOlkata Outskirt? LOL
Kolkata was at one time Capital of India. I have always felt that Bengal is the soul of India with its culture, intellectual curiousity and importance given to music and arts in families. Plus in Bengal there is definite empowerment of women. Her current CM who is a woman did not get handed her political bearing from her family but she worked from the ground to the top. I may have a difference of opinion with her politics but I do respect her for all the she has achieved and carved her own path on her terms. Enjoy your time in West Bengal and try out it fantastic cuisine.

Kolkata is the former Capital of India 🇮🇳. Anyone first coming to India should come to Kolkata, it's safe for foreigners and you get all sorts of different foods here! Best time for coming here From September- February, bcz you get less heat 😅. Come to Kolkata, relax few days, then plan trips to different cities.From Kolkata you get transportation for every part of India! In our state Bengal you get Himalayan mountains in Darjeeling and Beaches in Digha-Mandarmani! If you like art visit Vishnupur . If you like small hills visit Ayodhya Hills. If you like River breez Kolkata-Hoogly, just get into a boat from James Princep Ghat.
Want to stay in most Modern n Clean part - stay in Salt Lake Sector 5 !
Visit North East part of india also
Go to the newtown bidhanagar areas ..It will blow your mind
thank you for your visit....
Other cities in India are just cities (materialistic only). Kolkata is not just a city, it's emotion.
.......& you've not yet visited South Calcutta & North Calcutta !
Do visit new town, saltlake, sector v , ruby . Those areas are highly developed area of Kolkata
Those areas have nothing except some monotonous concrete structure. Your productivity and aesthetic sense are nothing in front of british .
@@apaul8321 😂😂😂 then u don't have any idea about Salt Lake,, sector v 😂😂 and I dnt give a shit about British. We r India's we love our india.
Please also try to visit the new town salt lake area of Kolkata, this is the old city, hence more congested.
I'm a west bengali and it underrated because it doesn't wanna move forward proactively like it's competitors, stuck in the old times.
Hi, I'm Suman Chatterjee from Kolkata. I'm Bengali & new at your Vlog. Welcome you @Kolkata. But you have only shown the picture of the City of Kolkata. There are many places inside KOLKATA, if you see it, only one word will come, "WoW". Next time when you visit Kolkata, just ping me, I'll show you the Village Side & other places, Community. Thanks.
Nice video. ❤ from Minneapolis
Welcome to the safest city of India 🇮🇳 , third biggest and richest City of India ।। Kolkata the city of joy
Richest? W . Bengal is one of the poorest state of india, after having so many intellectuals and wise people born there
@@sanjeshdarbari549 West Bengal is a middle income state , not one of the poorest..and according to GDP Kolkata is third in India after Delhi and Mumbai
@@DeepashisChattopadhyay The guy above won't bother to your logic. It's because of current political situation. Northies have got a significant hatred towards Bengal because of war between two political parties and their IT cells. I tried to explain them like there is a nice state if you keep politics aside. But they won't understand it.
@@sanjeshdarbari549I know you bjp tmc persons are bustard
@@lifeboy1978 really because of one person they decided whole WB is the unsafe, poor.
I am from Kolkata new town ❤😊
Visit every cities of India
😊 City of Joy ❤
I'm from Kolkata the only things is good that City is very cheap in terms of other metropolitan City in india that's it
Welcome to West bangali 🚩🇮🇳
Perfect 🚩🚩🚩
Though I have lived in various parts of India I feel most at home in Kolkata. It embraces all the great things about other cultures without losing its own identity. Its a progressive city with very little gender bias and agressive behaviour.
Everyone slots in here ..rich poor men women different communities different religions.
Thanks for your very kind vid on my city
Kolkata have 3 kind of parts
1- Devoloped ares (south kolkata and newtown area) very clean green and posh.
2- old residential kolkata. Full of history. museum . Foods old buildings, nostalgia.
3- market areas. Looks very old and dirty. Mainly this areas are for raw materials Bussniess. I see many foreigner goes to those areas for travel. But those ares are not for traveling. Those are raw materials bussniess area.
If you really wants to what is kolkata what's it's culture is then roaming around old residential kolkata or south kolkata to Newtown.
Thats why Kolkata is called city of joy
Kolkata had a one famous mutton shop, I do not remember the name, but you ask any local people they know, at least try the mutton one time, that is amazing
Golbari ?
@@NayanaVlogss yes yes, Thank you for reminding me
You have been too early in the market as the day proceds you will understand how busy everything is and crowded too.. you have been only in the central part..go inside to the North kolkata.. that's where life is..
Your vlog is really beautiful. Please explore rural areas of west Bengal.. I'm a travel blogger too 😊

They also don't allow you to keep batteries. My batteries were confiscated.
Welcome to bengal
Joy bangla
From which country have you come to kolkata
Lovely
Atleast i can surely say west bengal is one of the most safest state for women...i can also roam at night here..i travelled alone on train and bus all my life and never felt unsafe..though that doesn't mean we don't have to be careful and trust everyone
first time outside australia??
You missed Bengali sweets. This City is famous for sweets.
Came to east part of india and instead of trying Bengali food which is best in the entire world, any typical foreiner world try South Indian dosa. You don't know what you are missing out.
Please come DAKHINESWAR TEMPE
Read the history of Bengal if you have time at some point in your life. You'll get to know about the invasion, division and the financial and cultural aspects of Kolkata.
wlcome to my city of joy
Well, Kolkata is not that underrated, it actually not so famous to foreigners .
You can have 'Bhagar' meat only in Kolkata.... Try to taste it, its delicious
Bhubaneswar is the safest city for womens
If you're in Kolkata try authentic Bengali cuisine, you always should try authentic local food.....
you need to slow down with the camera, your camera is not fast enough and images get trails when you move swiftly
Football is more popular in Bengal than cricket & bengali cultire is kinda matriarchial
beautiful vlog....
West BENGAL WAS BRITISH CAPITAL IN INDIA.
You must be talking about old delhi where you found everything chaotic and less women maybe its actually a thing i don't even know but not the in cities i have visited and I am from Kolkata
Esplanade and new market is the worst place to be in Kolkata. Should explore the new town area.
I am from West Bengal Kolkata is safest and placed for food lovers ❤❤
U should come during Durga Pujo ❤
Welcome to my home ❤
The north indian and their false propaganda and misinformation is the main culprit for all the bad name of Kolkata and West Bengal . Because of this politics only all the international flights are being deliberately stopped from flying to and from Kolkata.
Visit new town kolkata, or eco park

Bengalis are actually known for being quite intellectual and artistic. Decades of misrule have ruined the place, which is sad.
