The Hogg market is the original market built by britisher but now New Market consists of many other markets and street vendors in the surrounding. Best place for bargain shopping in Kolkata,also have many good place to eat,when in Kolkata this place can’t be missed but keep in mind that this place can be over crowded and chaotic specially during evening.Visited November 2023Travelled soloWritten November 9, 2023

- Nicole KOahu, Hawaii35 contributionsGo with a local guideNOT for the faint of heart. I first visited when I did a solo guide tour and it was much easier being with a Kolkata native. I was not approached or bothered in any way. When I returned a few days later with my brother, we were constantly trying to avoid people approaching and following us. We get that it's part of the culture, but it was way to excessive and frustrating to really enjoy the market the way I got to the first time. I did buy all my gifts there with the prices so low and bargaining making them even lower. My three stars are an average of attending with a local and attending without.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten January 30, 2024

Having gone to this place whenever I visit Kolkata (I live abroad), I can say there is a nice selection of shops and it is one of Kolkata's main shopping hubs (for which I've given two stars) but the interior/indoor covers and set of corridors inside the market are otherwise quite dirty and very poorly maintained which is not helped by the fact that the place can get crowded & there are street dogs in the middle of the market.
Not to mention there can be some weird/dodgy people in the market (I visited the market last week with my family and there was an old shopkeeper who followed us around even when we told him we didnt need any help - people really need to learn not to pester people if they know where to go or are not interested in seeing a particular shop - and it's best to also take care in case there are pickpocketers).
Its a shame because this is a market/shopping centre right in the central part of Kolkata and so it could have easily been a great indoor shopping mall/market (I have visited a few indoor shopping malls in the outskirts of Kolkata and they definitely put this place to shame) catering for all but lack of investment and maintenance have both let this place down (I'm just surprised there’s hardly any plans in place to improve it).

New market has its own charm. Even today when Kolkata is flooded with shopping malls offering varied range of products new market continues to stand strong. Shops like Chamba lamba selling silver jewellery oreateries like Nahoums never ceases to amuse us.It is buzzing with life. hawkers calling out their products, busy shoppers taking a respite from shopping while sipping their fresh nimbu pani will always be a delight to watch. A visit to new market will be incomplete if we dont have roll from Baadshah. One is bound to fall in love with new market during Christmas. The shops are teeming with christmas trees, ribbons, bells and ballons, all set to welcome Santa. One just cant afford to miss the vibes. Every nook & corner is decorated beautifully.. Dress materials, bangles, dry flowers everything you get under 1 roof.
