Visakhapatnam has come a long way and there are some new and awesome things that have made our city bigger, better and so much more rocking.

2017 was a good year for Visakhapatnam and it’s people. No doubt about it. New projects have been undertaken, pacts made and cool joints have come up to wow us and keep the spirits charged. One can go as far as to say that the City of Destiny has undergone a metamorphosis to come out a new, ultra modern city of reckoning. Here are some of the coolest things in Visakhapatnam that have happened in 2017.

Aircraft Museum

Tu-142m after rendering stellar service to the nation as an aircraft of Indian Navy found it’s final resting place in Visakhapatnam. Post-decommissioning, it has been converted into an aircraft museum that enables one to reach the high skies in a war aircraft by reaching the Beach Road. Super awesome. What makes it even better is that the project was executed in a very short time and has come up in an amazing complex.
