Essential Information For Tourism In Lucknow
Things To Know Before Travelling To Lucknow
Nestled along the banks of the beautiful river Gomti and right in the heart of the Heritage Arc, Lucknow has been enchanting visitors with its Nawabi elegance for generations. Here are a few essential information to help you prepare for your adventure to the ‘City of Nawabs’!
Best Time To Visit
Lucknow City shines during the chilly, misty winter months when the weather cools. With average temperatures ranging from 8 to 18 degrees Celsius, chilly evenings often dip to around 7 to 8 degrees. If you're planning a visit, the months from October to March are perfect for enjoying the lovely weather. Conversely, the city experiences its vibrant monsoon season from July to September, a great time to explore! And let's not forget that summer stretches from April to June, bringing its own unique charm to the city.
Local Cuisine To Try
Lucknow's cuisine reflects its royal past with vibrant street food. Try Mughal delicacies like Kebabs, Tikkas, and Roomali Roti, available at many outlets, particularly in older areas, for authentic flavours. Galouti kebabs are a signature dish—soft mutton kebabs with papaya. Don't miss the Biryani! Enjoy Sheermal, Nahari, Kulcha, Kheer, Jalebis, Chaat, Kofta, Samosa, Qulfi, Petha, Kachori, and many other treats.
Shopping in Lucknow
Lucknow boasts some charming century-old markets, like the stunning Hazratganj market, which continues to showcase its grandeur and charm even today despite all the modern changes. These markets are a treasure for shopaholics, especially known for their exquisite 'zardousi' and intricate 'chikan' embroidery. Plus, the irresistible street food, featuring delicious kebabs and biryani, makes Lucknow a delightful destination that keeps drawing tourists back again and again.
Safety
It's essential to take care of your valuable items and mobile phones. Try to stay away from isolated or dark alleys. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially when you're in crowded spots. And remember to keep emergency numbers for the police and ambulance handy!
What To Bring
If you are visiting in summer, pack lightweight and breathable clothes, comfortable footwear, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Staying hydrated is essential, so carry a water bottle with you since summer temperatures can be pretty high. For cooler weather, bring along light jackets and shawls. Don’t forget your toiletries, including a travel towel, any necessary medication, a first aid kit, insect repellent, as well as travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Ensure you have a valid ID, travel documents, and electronics like a power bank and camera.
Tips For Travellers Visiting Lucknow
1. Book your hotel in advance.
2. Pack according to the weather.
3. Take precautions to protect your belongings.
4. Dress modestly, particularly when touring religious sites.
5. Before you set off, check the weather and road conditions, especially during the monsoon and winter months.
6. Always carry an identification card.
7. Do not drink water from outdoor taps; carry your own bottled water.
