What Wikivoyage says to see
Varanasi is not a city with distinct tourist destinations; the experience is in watching the spectacle of life and death on the river and meandering through the alleys of the old city.

Things to do
Bathe in the Ganges - Over 60,000 people come to the ghats every day to take a dip in the sacred waters of the Ganga, most notably at sunrise. This is a fantastic sight to see. However, with sunken corpses and cremation, there is a risk of infection from numerous diseases such as hepatitis and bacteria such as e-coli. Therefore it is recommended you bathe further upstream such as around Rishikesh.
