City of Magic

In Kolkata, the very air you breathe seeds culture into your soul. You can catch an early morning shave in an alley on your way to the infamous coffeehouse for the infamous 'adda', or you can discuss the day, the world, and anything under the sun with a random passerby. The bright yellow Ambassador cabs riding down the vintage streets, the gol gappas on every corner, the inspiring architecture, the history, and everything about Kolkata can seep romance and magic into your very veins.
