A legendary market,more than century old but don’t know why it’s called New Market. The Hogg market is the original market built by britisher but now New Market consists of many other markets and street vendors in the surrounding. Best place for bargain shopping in Kolkata,also have many good place to eat,when in Kolkata this place can’t be missed but keep in mind that this place can be over crowded and chaotic specially during evening.

An old and must visit place if you are exploring kolkata. Its near Charangi, esplanade adjacent to Hotel Oberoy. Market is flea or bargain market like Sarojini Nagar of Delhi. Do Bargain, You,ll get good stuff.

150 years old market in Kolkata Worth to visit due to its historical value Decent place for shopping. But you have to burgain a lots. They ask triple amount from the foreigners. Overall experience is good. Most of the people are well behaved.

NOT for the faint of heart. I first visited when I did a solo guide tour and it was much easier being with a Kolkata native. I was not approached or bothered in any way. When I returned a few days later with my brother, we were constantly trying to avoid people approaching and following us. We get that it's part of the culture, but it was way to excessive and frustrating to really enjoy the market the way I got to the first time. I did buy all my gifts there with the prices so low and bargaining making them even lower. My three stars are an average of attending with a local and attending without.
