Enter Gariahat for a wide range of commodities, Jagannath Ghat the flower market and Tirreta Bazar for an extensive variety of ethnic goods. Park Street is the place for the perfect executive. The street with restaurants and pubs and glittering showrooms of the most reputed brands. You could leaf through journals and best sellers at a well stocked book shop. They call it College Street. These are one of the more sophisticated areas for one to shop. New Market is, ironically one of the oldest markets of Calcutta with everything under one roof, always alive and bustling out of its seams. The airport is not very far from the city (about 10 Kms ), but due to constant traffic jams you could take close to over 3 hours.

lso
happens to be the only city where trams still ply through the overcrowded
shopping lanes Like any other metro city, Calcutta also has several
Govt emporia and the Central Cottage Industries Emporium at 7 Chowringee
Lane sells exquisite handicrafts from all States. Bargaining has
no place here. However, a walk to New Market is an interesting experience
where shopping turns knack as the whole range of shopping revolves
around hectic bargaining here.
