3 cities History Buffs must visit in India

 

For international tourists, India is a mystery to be explored. Brimming with architectural marvels and panoramic landscapes, it is that one country that boasts of a large variety of tourists spots that travellers love to explore.

History buffs are specifically smitten by the charm of ancient cities in India as they encapsulate the tales of the yester-era. Though, each and every city in India has an underlying story to it; we suggest three cities that one visit if they consider themselves true lovers of art, history, and culture.

Kolkata


The ever-dazzling vibe of Kolkata brims with inspirational stories and dingy lanes that invoke colonial nostalgia. A visit to Kolkata assures you an inspiring trip to fascinating museums, awe-inspiring architecture, and a memorable evening at lively pubs. The capital city of West Bengal has an impeccable charm that can easily sweep you off your feet. A visit to the famed Howrah Bridge or the museum will certainly make you realize why this city culturally developed at such a vast speed in the pre and post-colonial era.

Amritsar

A history buff can never return disappointed from the Holy city of Punjab. Particularly a delight for foodies for its lip-smacking street food culture, Amritsar will show you the true essence of what Punjab is all about.  Besides the famed Golden temple and Jallianwala Bagh, tourists must also visit the partition museum that holds artifacts of India-Pakistan Partition in 1947. Documenting the trauma, tears, and graphical images of the partition, the museum can literally transport you to that era. Interestingly, famed journalist and author Suhel Seth also made a regal contribution of 50 lakh to the museum to support its cause.

Udaipur

Brimming with a typical “Rajput vibe” in its very fabric, Udaipur as a city offers too many visual treats to its tourists. Since, we are already talking about visual delights, we must mention about the lovely temples and lakes of Udaipur that ooze the vibe of yester era. There are two things that will specifically grab your attention as soon as you enter any temple in Udaipur—the lovely Rajasthani art adorning the walls and the soothing whiff of flowers and incense sticks in the atmosphere. Undoubtedly, these temples have an ethereal charm about them.  Also, it is believed that seeking blessings in some of these temples is like carrying good-luck for life.
