The city of Nawabs, as Lucknow is sometimes known as, is the capital of Uttar Pradesh, one of the largest state in India. The city has a glorious history and has been known as the cultural centre of Northern India for over two centuries. The arts, including painting, music, and dance, flourished under the generous patronage of the last Nawabs of Awadh, as the region around Lucknow was known as before the states were formed by the British. The city is a wonderful tourism destination and one of the highlights of Uttar Pradesh tourism. To learn more about Lucknow, you can log on to touristplacesinindia.com, which offers comprehensive information about the tourist attractions in Lucknow, tourist accommodation in Lucknow, and other facts about tourism in Lucknow.

Lucknow stands out as a city that takes pride in the endearing but subdued articulation of its essence and identity. Its mystical elegance and amorous ethos rarely fail to fascinate a perceptive mind. Indeed, it is difficult to remain unimpressed by its 'tehzeeb' (cultural refinement), hospitality, politesse, cuisines and 'Shaam-e-Awadh'. At the same time, Lucknow is placed among the fastest growing cities of India and is rapidly emerging as a manufacturing, commercial and retailing hub. This unique combination of rich cultural traditions and brisk economic growth provides Lucknow with an aura that refuses to fade away.
