A weekend in New Town
Updated · The front desk, Aristocrat Hotel TBC · 4 min read
The short answer
Spend Saturday at Eco Park and Biswa Bangla Gate, and Sunday slowly: the pool, Rabindra Tirtha or the malls, and a late lunch at Peerage. Eco Park is closed on Mondays, so keep it for the weekend. Distances from the hotel: TBC.
Saturday: the park and the Gate
Swim before breakfast, then eat at Peerage. Spend the afternoon at Eco Park (the toy train, a boat on the lake), with Mother's Wax Museum opposite if anyone wants an indoor hour.
At dusk, go up Biswa Bangla Gate, the 55-metre ring over Biswa Bangla Sarani. Its glass gallery looks down the road, and the restaurant inside serves lunch from 12 to 3 pm and dinner from 7 to 10 pm. Book both ahead.
Sunday: slow, then the shops
A long breakfast, a swim, then Rabindra Tirtha, a cultural centre in Action Area I dedicated to Rabindranath Tagore, Bengal's Nobel-winning poet. In the afternoon, Axis Mall or City Centre 2, which has a four-screen INOX cinema.
Come back for a late lunch at Peerage before you head home. Ask about a late check-out when you book TBC.
The weekend at a glance
If your weekend runs Sunday to Monday, do Eco Park on the Sunday: it closes on Mondays.
