The modern city of Allahabad is a very important destination amid north Indian travel locations. Originally called Prayag, this city has always been held high in esteem due to its religious references. Then during the Indian freedom movement, this city once again made its presence felt in the country. With such a long history, there is no dearth of places to visit in Allahabad.

Allahabad sightseeing is a mixed bag of many aspects. People come here and tend to explore the remnants of Indian history and spirituality. This is city which can easily be access from New Delhi and Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh. Those who seek spiritual healing, Allahabad is a hub for them. Home to the holy Triveni Sangam, Allahabad is one of the epicentres of Hinduism. Basically the meeting point of the Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati (a mythological river which is believed to have dried up thousands of years ago), the Triveni Sangam is a must visit for anyone. All these three rivers are considered very holy in India and people believe that they have the power to wash away all your sins. This is same with the case of Triveni Sangam where millions take a dip to go free from the bondage of life and death.
