The trams of Kolkata have been featured in Bollywood movies like Barfi, Kahaani and Parineeta. Soak in the nostalgia as you pass through some of the most iconic structures of the city such as Saheed Minar and the Victoria Memorial. Take a ride in this iconic vehicle and get set to write your own travel stories. These days airconditioned trams are also available (though very few in number). While touring Kolkata, do opt for a tram ride if you want to experience the city in a different way.
