Religious place for Christian people. Very clean and nice ambience. I attended diocesan festival. It takes place every year on 1st Sunday of December month. So many food stalls are set up temporarily in ground. Children perform cultural activities. People offer prayers. There is souvenir shop just opposite main door of church. If you want you can buy various types of souvenir

Very good place to relax and gave a peaceful atmosphere, located just near to Bitka planetarium. Entry fees ₹10 for each and ₹ 30 for parking. Church closes at 6 pm and there is a small sovereign shop to buy some gifts.St. Paul's Cathedral is a Church of North India cathedral of Anglican background in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, noted for its Gothic architecture and dedicated to Paul the Apostle. It is the seat of the Diocese of Calcutta. The cornerstone was laid in 1839 and the building was completed in 1847.

I have been wanting to visit St Paul's cathedral for a while and managed to visit this weekend. As it was Christmas it was super crowded. But the church is beautiful, inside and outside. But I want to visit again on a less crowded day to fully savor the beauty. The stained glass windows are beautiful and the exterior still a well maintained white.

Thank you Lord for giving us the opportunity to visit this church. St. Paul's Cathedral is the biggest church to be cited at Kolkata and the 1st Anglican cathedral in Asia. Beyond it's architectural landmark status, it gives us such an immense spiritual calmness within us. I hope everyone who visited (and will be in the coming days)this place shall get a sense of love, spirituality, faith, wisdom and blessings from the Almighty God🙏🏻💜

I was very tired and stressed but when I reached there I was very energetic, happy and mentally strong. Yes the Church has another level of positive power and energy. This was a very peaceful and beautiful place. Must visit ❤.

To visit inside the Cathedral there is an entry fee of Rs. 10 per head and the visiting hours end at 6pm.
I prefer visiting at sunset to capture its glory when lit with Christmas lights. The Architecture is awe-inspiring and marvelous inside out.

I love visiting St. Paul's Cathedral in winter, a less crowded place near Planetarium. And it's such a peaceful place, always make me feel like I'm spending time with myself.

St. Paul's Cathedral in Kolkata stands as a testament to neo-Gothic splendor, captivating visitors with its soaring spires and intricate detailing. The sublime fusion of architectural magnificence and historical resonance creates an atmosphere of timeless grace. Within its hallowed walls, a sense of reverence is palpable, offering a contemplative refuge amid the city's dynamic pulse. A visit to this venerable landmark is a journey into the heart of Kolkata's rich cultural tapestry.

Located in the heart of the City of Joy - Kolkata, St Paul's is an Anglican cathedral that operates under CNI – Church of North India. It is a must-visit for those who seek enriching historical and architectural pleasure on their vacation trips. In the heart of the city, this colossal structure reminds you of the colonial times and takes you down the memory lane.
Earlier there was no entry fee but now they charge 10/- for the entry. Overall a great visit, really liked it but I would suggest that to avoid during Christmas Days as it gets too crowded.

I would encourage anyone, of any faith, or none, to sit in the chapel and take a moment out of their busy lives to contemplate the world around them. A place to switch off from modern pressures amidst the beautiful architecture and quiet solace. A perfect escape from the frenetic city that lies beyond its gates. 10 rupees to enter, for any nationality, but donations can be made towards its upkeep inside the cathedral, no doubt appreciated if you're in a position to give. Plenty of shaded benches in the grounds too.

The Cathedral has been maintained well. Need a ticket to enter which doesn't cost much. Visited the place on a weekday in the morning, and there was no crowd. There is an exhibit inside that explains the history.

Went during the Christmas carols at 12 o’clock. The ambience inside was the most amazing part.
Great place to be with during a Sunday morning or on holidays.

Gorgeous church of the British era, situated near the gardens of Queen Victoria memorial. Part of the city that had the elite imperial occupancy before independence. I visit historical places for the story, for the great architecture and more!

Beautiful peaceful place to pray to jesus,,,your wish will surely come true,, like mines, 💗 beautifully church,,,during Christmas it looks more beautiful but it is too much crowded during festivals but very silent during off-season

The best church i have visited ❤ , every detail of work done here and the ambience of this place is totally fabulous, The eerie silence of this place is heaven , people can go and meditate for hours and get a fresh mind ❤ People should must go and visit this piece of art❤

Ofcourse went multiple times and it's beautiful and quite as well but this year in the December got to witness something beautiful.
A group of kids were practicing carols for 25th Dec hopefully. That was some beautiful melody.

But one thing I don't like that since couple of years, they started 10rps ticket. It's a church so visiting there with ticket I didn't like that personally.

A peaceful place ..must visit ..the ticket price is just Rs 10 per person.. picture and video is not allowed inside the church but you can take much picture outside.. and the outside view is really good

I finally managed to go to this beautiful place last week. Ambiance was just too good.It was a quiet and peaceful place. The church is beautiful from both inside and outside.

St Paul's Cathedral is very peaceful place and is acknowledged as
the first Episcopal Church of the eastern world. It is an Anglican cathedral of the Church of North India.
