Felt a bit overwhelmed, crowds and pollution made midday walks rough. Food stalls saved the day though.
Carry small cash notes, drivers often say meter is broken. Insist on the meter or agree fare upfront to avoid hassle.
Most museums have a late afternoon break or close early, so go right when they open to avoid crowds and midday heat.
Durga Puja parades at night are electric, insane crowds but worth it if you can handle the crush and noise.
我最喜欢的印度城市之一，文化充满活力，早餐超赞。不打车的话很省钱。
