Lucknow’s Gen Z is swapping screen time for heritage walks, bringing the city’s forgotten corners and centuries-old stories back into the spotlight.

At sunrise, Lucknow’s older streets are attracting young residents through heritage walks, food trails, photowalks and sketch meets that blend history, culinary culture and community. Organisers report recurring events, themed tours and growing participation, while government plans aim to formalize routes. These activities encourage residents, especially youth, to explore, document and discuss the city’s living heritage.
