If you are not in a rush and want to enjoy the old-world charm of Bengali culture, there’s no better way than a walk through the by-lanes of Shyambazar. Admire the grandeur of Calcutta’s heritage buildings and royal mansions like - the Clock Tower at Lalitkumar Mitra’s house, the Mullick’s Kamala Palace, houses of Nagendranath Bose and Bhupendranath Bose. Radha Kanto Jeu street has also a number of old townhouses. Early morning is the best time to explore the backstreets of Shyambazar.
