There are some historically famous places of interest in Krishnanagar such as the Rajbari or the residence of Raja Krishnachandra. The main feature of this Rajbari is the Goddess Durga temple which is situated in the courtyard of the royal palace. The two main festivals which are attended by thousands of people are the Jhulan Mela (celebrated around July and August) and Baro Dol (celebrated around March/April). This is the time when the common people can actually witness the grandeur of the royalties.

The second place of interest in Krishnanagar is the famous area called Ghurni which is the neighborhood of the clay artists. Raja Krishnachandra invited a few of the families of these clay artists in this region and since then there has been no looking back. Their gods and goddesses are famous not only in India but are also in high demand by the Indians living abroad. They also make clay dolls and other toys for children. Tourists are greatly interested to see these gifted artists working in their studios.

Another hot favorite attraction for the tourists is the mouth watering sweetmeats of Krishnanagar. Among many delicacies the sarpuria and sarbhaja are said to be the inventions of the cooks or moyras of this region.

Krishnanagar can also be called a Christian evangelistic centre. It has a monumental Roman catholic church which portrays the awesome architecture and wooden sculpture of that era. It is said that sculptors were specially brought in from Italy to make these wooden sculpting. But one will be mesmerized by the twenty seven oil paintings depicting the entire life of Jesus Christ.
