    You could set aside about 90 minutes at Marble Palace. Spend 45 minutes walking the marble halls, 20 minutes on the sculpture gallery, and then a quick 15 minute stop at the private zoo where the small monkeys are most active around noon. After that a 15 minute walk will get you to Victoria Memorial, and from there a 30 minute metro hop to Howrah Bridge. If you’re staying at Hotel 16 avenue, the memorial is just a short stroll from your room.
