By Varisha Tariq| Condé Nast Traveller (India) Verified My home, Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh popularly known as the city of Nawabs, is a charming city that is often overlooked on the tourist circuit even though it is only three hours away from the Taj Mahal and a few hours away from Delhi.

By Varisha Tariq| Condé Nast Traveller (India) Verified A city of literature, of poetry and the birthplace of seminal works like Umrao Jaan Ada, Lucknow’s history has always been steeped in words; a culture that can be traced back to the 18th century to the time of Nawab Asad-ud-Daula. Recognised as a poet at heart, he often wrote poetry under his pen name, Asif. In his court, he invited and nurtured poets such as Mir Taqi Mir, Mirza Ghalib, Saadat Yaar Khan, Ghulam Hamdani 'Mushafi' and so many more, and built a library of over 30 lakh books.
