    Well this is one of the finest monument in India that was built by Britishers. Huge colonial style palace is surrounded by lush green well maintained garden. It is a very pretty sight during day, didn't experience the view at night though. You can also opt for a Victoria ride in front of the palace. Overall worth a visit Victoria is a very beautiful place which is located in Kolkata, it has its museum and it is the historical park and museum of Kolkata, here tourists come to visit or park or messium ticket is also available.Victoria Park is a very famous park of Kolkata and it is very big in terms of area.i have been to victoria park a lot of times i like it very much can go to victoria park to hang out with family enjoy sitting in walking here quite nice places.

    The garden, among many other gardens of the Victoria Memorial, is situated near a big pond. There are lots of beautiful flower bushes planted in the garden. It is a great location for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. People can have a great time with their family and friends, under the lush greenery of the garden.

    The gardens at the Victoria memorial are covered of 64 acres . They are maintained by a team of 21 gardeners. They were designed by Redesdale and David Prain. On Esch's bridge, between narrative panels by Goscombe John, there is a bronze statue of Victoria, by George Frampton. Victoria is seated on her throne, wearing the robes of the Star of India. In the paved quadrangles and elsewhere around the building, other statues commemorate Hastings, Charles Cornwallis , Robert Clive, Arthur Wellesley, and James Broun-Ramsay, 1st Marquess of Dalhousie. Approaching the Victoria Memorial building from the south, visitors pass the Edward VII memorial arch. Upon The garden contains statues of dignitaries such as Lord William Bentinck, governor-general of India , George Robinson , governor-general of India , and Rajendra Nath Mookerjee, a pioneer industrialist of Bengal.

  • 5/5 Suryansh M. 4 years ago on Google
    The building is dedicated to Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India. White Makrana marbles were used in the construction of Victoria Memorial Hall. The Victoria Memorial is massive in its size and stands enclosed within blooming gardens. It has a Museum, Royal Gallery housing a number of portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and paintings illustrating their life, National Leader’s Gallery, containing the portraits and relics relating to Indian independence. Spectacular Creation. We could see the view of Hooghly Bridge from the gardens of Victoria Memorial Hall. Foods are available. The work of the palace is eye-catching. Peace Park, in front of Victoria Memorial, is a nice, green and quiet spot

    It's a completely novel experience at the dead of the night (long after the gates are closed for the day) with only a few others to give you company. The lighting at the Victoria Memorial at the light makes it a strikingly attractive object in sea of darkness around it at the Maidan region where it is located, giving an example of a real crown in jewel of the city.

    The Victoria Memorial is a huge marble building built around the early 20th century and dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria. At present it is a Museum showcasing artefacts of the British era and is a popular tourist destination. People from all over India come here to see the beautiful marble structure and statues as well as the British era dresses, arts and documents housed within the museum. Local people also spend their evenings in the Garden around the Memorial Hall. The garden around the museum hall is a safe place for local couples seeking some moments of solitude. The entry fee for only the garden is rupees 20, for Garden as well as the Museum it is rupees 30 for Indians. The entry fee is rupees 500 for foreign nationals but only rupees hundred for people from the SAARC member countries. The Museum and the garden closes at 6:00 p.m. and be sure to get out by that time as any delay may result in disciplinary action by the security guards. The behaviour of the security guards is one of the worse you will see anywhere. I say this from my own personal experience. Camera is allowed inside free of cost but there are restrictions on the use of tripod stand. Be sure to carry water bottle with you when you are inside as you may spend 2 to 3 hours once you are inside. You can carry eatables inside but please do not litter and carry a small bag with you in which you can throw the waste. You will also find many dust bins in the garden and you can throw your waste in those dustbins. The nearest metro stations to Victoria Memorial Hall are Maidan metro station and Esplanade metro station.
