Nice Place To Relax I Have Visited Kolkata For A Number Of Times & I Quite Like The City. People Here Are Nice And Polite. One Can Visit Victoria Memorial, Indian Museum, Magnolia In Park Street Etc. The Only Thing That Irritates Is The Heavy Traffic Jams. From Here One Can Move To Digha And Darjeeling.
