Things to Do in Lucknow

There is so much to see on your Lucknow holidays, but architecture buffs are especially in for a great time. A top destination is Bara Imambara, a classic example of Mughal design. The Residency is also a popular site, with its historic gardens and ruins offering a glimpse into the British Raj era. If you are travelling between late November and early December, drop everything for the elaborate 10-day Lucknow Festival. Book your Lucknow accommodation in advance, as this popular festival fills the city. And don't forget to buy some chikankaari, the embroidery for which the city is famous.

And then there’s the cuisine. Delicious! If you are a fan of naan bread, try sheermals, a sweet, saffron-flavoured version of this Indian staple. Meals in Lucknow’s hotels may share the city's devotion to taste, but the best food is found on the street—richly spiced kebabs are the area's delicacy.

Getting to & Around Lucknow

Lucknow is in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and its airport is one of the busiest in the country, fielding both regional and international flights. If you are already in the northern part of India, the city is along the Delhi-Gorakhpur railway line. It's also easily accessible by car. Once inside the city, getting from place to place will often require rickshaw drivers.
