West Bengal's major attractions are the
Dutch, French, English and Portuguese styled buildings and historic
monuments. The land speaks about the golden era of trade and commerce, a
rich culture and a land torn by betrayal, partition, poverty and famine. The
historical remains of Malda, British era buildings and monuments of Kolkata,
the Nawab's city Murshidabad, or Rabindranath Tagore's Shanti Niketan gives
the picture of the glorious past of the state. The Victoria Memorial, Indian
Museum, Howrah Bridge in Kolkata, Hazariduar in Murshidabad are some of the
most visited sites in the state.
