Top 5 Places to Visit in Lucknow

Lucknow has plenty to see, and a good plan starts with a short list. Here are five places most visitors and locals recommend.

1. Bara Imambara is a large 18th-century complex known for its vast central hall and the Bhul Bhulaiya maze.

2. Rumi Darwaza is the tall ornamental gateway that has become a symbol of the city.

3. Chhota Imambara is a smaller, richly decorated imambara, lovely when lit up in the evening.

4. Hazratganj is the central market street for shopping, cafes and an evening walk.

5. Residency is the ruined British-era residency, now a quiet historical site with lawns.

Opening hours, entry fees and the best season change from place to place, so check them before you go. When you need a local taxi, a good restaurant or a place to stay nearby, you can find businesses with real reviews on Lucknow Connect.
