The best time to visit Bidhannagar is from October to February. The weather is pleasant and comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
You can reach Bidhannagar by air via Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), by train to Sealdah or Howrah stations, or by road as it is a suburb of Kolkata.
Entry fees vary. For places like Eco Park, it is rupees 30. Nicco Park costs rupees 250 for entry or rupees 750 for a full package. Mother's Wax Museum is rupees 250. Foreigner prices are generally the same for these modern attractions.
Bidhannagar is generally safe. Exercise normal precautions like avoiding isolated areas at night and being aware of your surroundings. Use reputable transport services.
