Kolkata, known in the past as Calcutta, is India's seat of culture and intellect, because of the fact that it is home to generations of writers, film experts, and Nobel Prize winners.

Several Kolkata attractions worth stopping at include the Calcutta Nicco Park, one of the biggest amusement parks in India that is popular for rides such as the Pirate Ship, the Cave Ride, etc and the Marble Palace that displays several amazing art works, including the original works of Rembrandt, Van Goyen, and Reynolds.
