For this reason, Lucknow sees a number of both leisure and business travellers throughout the year. With a skyline dotted with both minarets and skyscrapers, it is a developing metropolis that manages to keep its old-world charm intact.

Lucknow was formerly known as Awadh, and its infrastructure stands as a testimony to its Nawabi roots and colonial influences. One can see the influence of the Nawabs and the Mughals in the exquisite architecture of places like Bada Imambara, Asafi Masjid, Shahi Baoli and Begum Hazrat Mahal Park. The intricate chikankari work of Lucknow, brings people from near and far off places to the city.

A haven for those who love to shop, Lucknow boasts of marketplaces that have been around for centuries. These markets include Hazratganj, Chowk, Aminabad and Janpath. Lucknow also serves as a food lover’s paradise due to the Nawabi cuisine.
