Lucknow   

Place to Visit in Lucknows.

Places of interest are spread out over a large distance, therefore will require the use of taxis or rickshaws. Cycle rickshaws contribute less polution to this historic city than their motorised cousins, and provide work to some who need it most.

Bara Imambara and Bhool Bhulaiya. A large and impressive tomb complex built in 1783. There is an interesting labyrinth too. You could easily spend half a day wandering around these beautiful but crumbling examples of Mughal architechture. A 300 rupees ticket (for foreigners) gets you in here, to the Chhota Imambara and to the clock tower and picture gallery too, so do not lose your ticket. Please note that lone couples are not allowed to enter with out a guide. Such prohibition is not brought to notice while buying the entry ticket.

Chhota Imambara. An imposing mausoleum built by the third Nawab of Avadh in 1837.

La Martiniere College, . Boys college. Building also known as Constantia, La Martiniere College is one of the oldest schools in the country. It was built in 1840 and started as a school in 1845. The school building is still well mantained. The best time to visit is either in the morning at around 8AM, when one can see the assembly, or after the school finishes at 1:30PM. This landmark building has also featured in several Bollywood movies.

Husainabad Clock Tower. A British landmark, set in a park with the somewhat poorly curated Pîcture gallery, and a lake. A great place for sunset.
Ruins of the Lucknow Residency''' and Museum. The bloody history of the demise of this Raj era compound is immortalised in the Museum in the Basement (105 rupees for foreigners to enter the Residency and Museum). This was the scene of the 1857 First Battle for Indepencence, referred to by the British as `The Indian Mutiny.´ Although you can still clearly see numerous canon ball marks in the ruined buildings, thankfully it is a peaceful place today. So much so in fact, that you are likely to stumble across couples taking a little private time in the leafy shady groves. The Residency is clealy recognised by the locals and tourists alike as a breezy haven to escape from the bustle and dust of a busy Indian city.
