You can visit here at Golghar, Agam Kuan, Vasundhara Metro Mall, Folk Art Museum, St Luke's Church, Begu Hajjam's Mosque, Rajendra Smriti Sangrahalaya Museum and Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library etc. These are the attraction of the city. You can arrive at these destinations by car rentals or taxi services in Patna. You can easy hire a car for local and outstation visit.
