Things to Do in Bhubaneswar
What do you do if a place is unfamiliar to you but you want to come for a visit? For some, there is a decent amount of research performed to know the top attractions. After that, a scouring for holiday packages ensues.
After all, such packages take you to a place's major attractions so you can have a relaxing vacation and not one where you have to hunt for your next destination.
Explore “Temple Town.”
Bhubaneswar, like many cities in India, is a mix of the old and the new. A visit to both is recommended but you shouldn't leave without having seen the collection of Hindu temples in the old part of the city, one that is referred to as “Temple Town.”
This is where you'll see different Kalinga architecture embodied in structures such as the Ananta Vasudeva Temple, Lingaraj Temple, Muktesvara Temple, and Rajarani Temple.
Go to a museum.
You always end up with more appreciation for a place if you know its history. Sure, the internet may be of some help but actually seeing actual artifacts and objects that pertain to a place's past collected in one location is quite the experience.
While in Bhubaneswar, take time to see either the Odisha State Museum or the Museum of Tribal Art & Artifacts to get a good idea of the state Bhubaneswar belongs to.
Visit the city's parks.
What better way to start or end the day than by seeing a bit of nature in the city. The great thing about Bhubaneswar is that there are different kinds of parks to suit your particular interest.
BDA Nicco Park is for those who seek amusement and are bringing the family along; Jaydev Vatika Park is for nature lovers; and the Indira Gandhi Park is for those who want to remember history or go for a morning walk or jog.
