AVOID. As a tourist who has travelled to large cities around India this is by far the worst experience I have had with markers. We were hounded, followed, pushed around and shouted at. We were completely put off with the whole experience we left very quickly. I would rather spend more money else where, where I am not being shouted at.

I’ve always wanted to visit New Market, Kolkata, but unfortunately I didn’t have time during the day. On my last night in the city, before leaving Kolkata, I finally managed to stop by. I was surprised by how lively it was at night! It’s not just one street, but several interconnected streets forming a bustling market area. The whole place was brightly lit and full of energy, with shops selling clothes, accessories, and all kinds of food. It’s really a great place to explore. I didn’t have much time this visit, so I could only take a quick walk. Next time, I’ll definitely plan to spend more time here and truly enjoy New Market. (Dec. 6th, 2025)
