Most Luxurious Mansions to Visit in a Bus
Want a peek into life of the other half? Here is a list of the mansions that are fitted with every kind of opulence imaginable.
Marble Palace Mansion, Kolkata :- The extraordinarily grand 1853 Marble Palace Mansion is indulgently overstuffed with statues and lavishly floored with marble inlay. The house is a blend of neoclassical and traditional Bengali architecture, and filled with chandeliers, mirrors and clocks. Amid the eclectic jumble of objects you'll find a mahogany bust of Queen Victoria and paintings by Rubens and Titian. There's also a lake and an aviary with peacocks and cranes. Yet the mansion's fine paintings droop in their dusty frames and the antique furniture is haphazardly draped in torn old dust sheets. It would make a great horror movie set. Visitors will need a permit from the West Bengal Tourism. If you are planning a visit, there are multiple portals that allows Online Bus Ticket Booking in India from most major cities.
Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Malaysia :- This stunning 38 room mansion was built in the 1880s and features a seamless blend of eastern and western architectural design. It was built by Cheong Fatt Tze, a local merchant who left the city as a broke teenager but who went on to amass enough wealth to buy the entire city. The mansion features louvred windows, intricate floor tiles and art noveau inspired stained glass. The house sits on an elevated plain known as 'dragon's throne' and is bounded by the Penang hill on the back and a water channel in the front.
Werribee Mansion, Australia :- At one point during the famed gold rush, Melbourne was the richest country in the world. You can catch a glimpse of the good times in the opulent Victorian architecture that dots the city. The Werribee Mansion was built in 1877 by the wealthy pastoralists, Chirnside family and features a stunning Italianate style. The complex also includes a garden with a lake, glasshouses and a sculpture walk. You can catch the exclusive shuttle service from Central Melbourne to get to the Werribee Mansion. You can book online bus tickets to Melbourne from all neighboring Australian cities.
Villa d'Este, Italy :- The Villa d'Este was a Benedictine monastery until Cardinal Ippolite d'Este transformed into a pleasure palace to overcome his failed bid to be a pope. The chateau is centered around a courtyard and features frescoed ceilings and a massive central room that looks out into the gardens littered with fountains, nymphs, dragons, pools, grottoes and a water organ.
Château de Chambord, France :- Easily one of the grandest chateau’s in the world, Chambord was built in the 16th century by François as a luxurious mansion to hangout with his mistress and hunt deer. The highlight of the structure is the stunning double helix staircase that some attribute to Leonardo da Vinci. Once atop the Italianate rooftop terrace you are greeted with so many towers, chimneys, mosaic slate roofs and domes that you would be forgiven for thinking that you are in the midst of a small city. The terrace played host to the royal court when they assembled to watch tournaments and military regiments.
