Lucknow
Affectionately known as the Golden City of the East, Lucknow is best remembered for its collection of beautiful British Raj-era structures and wealth of cultural pursuits such as poetry, dance, and cuisine. The city is an amalgamation of Indian aesthetic and colonial antiquity, and this eclectic mix of influences creates an atmosphere of inspired grandiosity – an atmosphere that is easily felt, given the city’s impressive gardens, boulevards and architectural marvels.
