About Travel to Lucknow
With over 3 million permanent residents Lucknow is one of the largest cities in Northern India and the capital of Uttar Pradesh state. Lucknow also has an interesting history. The city rose to prominence during the 18th Century under the Nawabs who were closely allied to Mughal Empire and the city features a range of fantastic examples of Islamic architecture from that period.
Lucknow is also associated with works of great literature and the Indian independence movement. Furthermore, the city is also noted for its educational facilities, particularly its private schools which are some of the best (and the largest) in India.

The most prominent landmarks in Lucknow are its imambaras. Imambaras are distinct from mosques and serve as congregation halls for followers of the Shia sect of Islam. There are imambaras all over the world, but arguably the most impressive examples of this type of architectural form are to be found in Lucknow and there are lots of them: Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara, Imambara Ghufran Ma’ab, Shah Najaf Imambara, Imambara Sibtainabad, and the magnificent Asifi Imambara.
Other historic buildings in Lucknow include the Husainabad Clock Tower, a 67 metre tall 19th century tower incorporating European architectural design styles, and the Rumi Darwaza, a 20 metre tall city gate built in the 18th Century. The most significant colonial era building, the Residency, has been left in ruins since fighting during the First War of Indian Independence in 1857.
