Lucknow,the capital of Uttar Pradesh.

Lucknow,”The city of Nawabs” , also a vibrant center of Urdu and Hindu literature.

Culturally rich, Lucknow is the symbol of a fast-disappearing India, where tehzeeb was an intrinsic part of everyday discourse.
Although this is rapidly becoming stuff of legend, the wonders of Lucknow are still intact for visitors to explore.
A unique Muslim culture that sprung up in the midst of intensely religious Hindu sites makes for a beautiful combination in the heart of Uttar Pradesh.
Some wonderful monuments must be visited by tourists here, the last vestiges of the Nawabi rule here.
However, history aside, Lucknow is a very modern city as well and tourists are assured of the best of facilities-an obvious fact, considering that Lucknow is the capital of the state.
