I loved walking on the bridge. it's the most beautiful attraction of the city and one must spend sunrise and sunset on the bridge. The most important fact about the bridge is that there is no nut or bolt. Also, enjoy the scenic views from the ferry. The view of yellow taxi is fabulous and it is just WOWWWWW......
Book a ticket for Launch to Howrah Junction for 6 Rupees (one side) and go to the other side of the river by the Bridge and then take a walk back over the bridge to the other side again. It will be a great experience for sure as it combines both the view from river and view while waking down the path.
Howrah Bridge is a must visit attraction in Kolkata. Built on the river of the Hooghly, it's not only just the medium of transportation, it's more of a heritage.

I visited the place my trip to Kolkata and Durga Pooja. The whole area has a big park where they had organised the pandal and it was really beautiful. Every year they come with such unique themes. Apart from the park, you can also visit ghat which is just nearby and sip cup of tea there and feel the breeze of the river. After that, you can also walk around the streets of Kumartuli and its a must to-do list. This is the street where all the idols of Durga maa are made and designed in Kolkata. You will get the vibes of the festival in the street. You can watch them making the sculpture and statues of the Goddess. One can savour the beauty of old buildings and houses which are still there since 18the century. Its really great to feel the old vibes of the city since this is the most centre point of Kolkata. I visited during the festive time and missed visiting in day time hours.
Although one is not allowed to enter their shop especially women but you can watch it from outside which is enthralling. Also enjoy the street food there.
There is no ticket to any of these areas. I am not sure about the park since I went during the Pooja.

it is a beautiful place to visit anytime either sunset or sunrise. The water is so calm and the view of the bridges on both sides is mesmerising. Also, enjoy the boat ride for 30 minutes in the evening. The cost is 400/- for a maximum of five people. Although there is not entry fee to the ghat. There are small eateries where you can also savour Kolkata chat and a cup of tea. Free toilet facilities are available. Its a long path along Hooghly river. One can enjoy walking or jogging and feel the cool breeze. Must recommend if you are in Kolkata. I got a very little time to spend there. If got chance, spend couple of hours. Dont think its for only couple, as you may see more of them, but singles can enjoy being SINGLE too..hahhaha.
How to reach: bus/cab/train are easily available.
