The city of Lucknow is best known for its interestingly rich cultural past and elaborate cuisine. Most people who visit this place for their holidays are greatly surprised by the ubiquitous signs, billboards and posters of the controversial chief minister, Mayawati. Places of interest in and around the city are best accessed with a car hire service from Lucknow airport. The most notable attractions that you shouldn’t hesitate to pay a visit to are as highlighted here below:
- Bhool Bhulaiya and Bara Imambara - this tomb complex is quite large and impressive and dates back to the 17th Century. An interesting labyrinth is available here too and the tombs are a perfect reflection of the famous Mughal architecture. Getting lost especially in the labyrinth is ideally a common thing and even some local guides don’t know their way around either.
- Chhota Imambara - This is an imposing mausoleum that still remains as one of the best places to visit in the region and there is so much to enjoy here.
- Husainabad Clock Tower - This is a British landmark that is set right in a park even though its picture gallery is somehow poorly curated. For sunset, this is a perfect place that you should be.
- Lucknow Residency Ruins and Museum - despite its turmoil past, the museum is one of the most peaceful places around Lucknow airport today. Make sure that you take some beautiful photos of the place during your visit.
- Ambedkar Memorial - This massive development features dozens of iconic statues; fountains intermix of sculpted gardens, impressive stone work and gardens that are carefully sculpted.
- Colvin Taluqdars College - This is certainly a must see place which boasts of having a great architecture and will certainly wow you.
Most of the places of interest in Lucknow are spread out greatly over a very large distance and this is something that you will surely need to beware of. While there are rickshaws and taxis at the locality, this might be quite expensive and it is thus a much better idea that you consider hiring a car at Lucknow airport and get your transportation well catered of.
Once you arrive at the airport just proceed on to the terminal area and you will find many car hire companies operating here and you should be able to find one that offers the kind of services you are looking for.
