    A good rule of thumb is to spend about 90 minutes at Marble Palace to walk through the marble halls, pause for the sculpture gallery and then a quick stop at the private zoo. That leaves a half hour to grab a coffee or a quick bite. If you’re in the area, the Victoria Memorial is a short walk away and is worth a quick stroll, and the Howrah Bridge is a short metro ride for a classic photo stop. If you’re staying nearby, Hotel 16 avenue is only a five minute walk from both attractions.
