Workation in Kolkata: the essentials
Capital of British India until 1911, Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, still has the Victoria Memorial, the Howrah Bridge over the Hooghly and long streets of decaying colonial facades. Its claim to be India's cultural capital rests on College Street's bookstalls and Indian Coffee House, a strong film and literary tradition and Durga Puja, listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage. IT offices and coworking sit in Salt Lake and New Town on the eastern edge, and India's oldest metro helps in a congested city. Summers and monsoon are punishing and winter air is poor, though November to February is still the time to come. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport is about 12 km from the centre.
