10 Best Tourist Places to Visit in Bengaluru

Pierre Ogeron/Getty Images

Bengaluru, formerly Bangalore , is the capital city of Karnataka in south India. The city has earned several names such as Silicon Valley of India, Pub Capital of India, Air Conditioned City, and City of Gardens. However, prior to the IT revolution, Bengaluru was known as Pensioners' Paradise.

Now, it's a wonderful blend of past and present. Although Bengaluru may not have as many iconic attractions as other major cities in India, it does have a great mix of history, architecture, culture, spirituality, and nature.

Bangalore Palace

Built for Chamaraja Wadiyar X in 1887, the design of Bangalore Palace was inspired by England's Windsor Castle . As a result, this evocative palace has Tudor-style architecture with fortified towers, arches, green lawns, and elegant woodcarvings in its interiors.

The royal family still lives here today, and the palace is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.

National Gallery of Modern Art

If you're an art lover, don't miss visiting the National Gallery of Modern Art on Palace Road. This gallery, which opened in 2009, is the third of its kind in India (the others are in Delhi and Mumbai).

It's housed in a Colonial mansion with a garden setting and has two interconnected wings, one of which features works from the early 18th century up until India's Independence while the other displays work from a large number of modern and contemporary artists.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m until 6:30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. It's closed on Monday. There is a cafe on the premises as well, which is open fewer hours than the gallery itself.

Tipu Sultan's Palace and Fort

Situated inside the Bangalore Fort area, Tipu Sultan's Palace was originally built by Kempe Gowda using mud. Later, Hyder Ali started reconstruction in Indo-Islamic architecture. This was completed by his son, Tipu Sultan, in 1791.

The Hindu temple seen in the courtyard of the fort is the proof of Tipu Sultan's religious tolerance. The palace is open daily from 8.30 a.m. until 5.30 p.m. daily. Combine visiting it with nearby Krishna Rajendra Market.

This vivid, traditional local market is an assault on the senses and a treat for photographers, and in the middle of it, you'll find Bengaluru's bustling flower market. The market also sells a variety of fresh produce, spices, and copper items.

Go there in the early morning to best experience the colors and crowds, when piles of fresh stock are being unloaded and sold.

Lalbagh Botanical Garden

This expansive garden started out as a private Mughal-style garden for the city's royal rulers. It was established in 1760 by Hyder Ali and later extended by his son Tipu Sultan.

It now covers 240 acres and derives its name from the red roses that bloom throughout the year there. The garden is said to have the most diverse species of plants in the world. Its focal point is a majestic glasshouse, built in 1889 to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales. It was designed along the lines of the Crystal Palace in London.

The garden is open daily from 6.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. throughout the year. It takes on a festive look during India's Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations, with a captivating show of over 200 varieties of flowers. The show also features an exhibition of hybrid vegetables.

Occupying a 300-acre area in Bangalore's business district, Cubbon Park is a popular place for walkers, joggers, nature lovers, and anyone who just wants to laze around. The park was named after the erstwhile Commissioner of Mysore, Sir Mark Cubbon. Many ornamental and flowering trees, both exotic and indigenous, can be found there.

This eye-catching red, two-storied building, built in 1867 under the reign of Tipu Sultan, has magnificent neoclassical architecture. It houses the High Court and many lower courts, and sits opposite Vidana Soudha at the entrance to Cubbon Park.

Close to the Court is the red, Gothic-style State Central Library building, with imposing stone and fluted pillars. Nearby, the highlight at the Government Museum is a collection of artifacts and stone carvings dating back to the 12th century, and excavated from places including Hampi . Adjacent to the Museum is Venkatappa Art Gallery, devoted to displaying famous paintings, plaster of Paris works and wooden sculptures of renowned artist Venkatappa (who painted for the royal family). Tickets for the museum also provide entry to the art gallery.

Picturesque Ulsoor Lake is spread over an area of 125 acres in the heart of the city, north of M.G. Road. It was constructed by Kempe Gowda II. It's open daily, except Wednesdays, from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. Boating facilities are provided by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation. There's also a walking track around the lake.

Spiritual and Religious Places

Bengaluru is the home of many of India's spiritual gurus, and the city has a rich religious culture. There are many diverse places of worship, including ashrams, mosques, and churches.

Consider seeing many of the city's attractions on a Bengaluru walking tour.   Alternatively, Viator in conjunction with Tripadvisor offers a comprehensive Private Full Day Bangalore (Bengaluru) City Tour and Experiential Culture Tour of Bangalore (Bengaluru) , bookable online.

It's also worth exploring the area around Bengaluru. There are many places of interest, whether you're after an escape from city life or are a visitor who wants to spend a day enjoying the abundant beauty of Mother Nature.

It has become a bustling hub for the country’s Information Technology (IT) industry, earning various monikers such as the City of Lakes and the Garden City. The city’s landscape is dotted with numerous lakes, accentuating its natural beauty and earning it the title of the City of Lakes. Amidst the lush greenery and vibrant culture, Bangalore is renowned for its dynamic night scene, attracting locals and tourists alike.

Recognised as the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore has a thriving IT sector has played a pivotal role in the country’s technological advancement. The city’s skyline is adorned with the headquarters of numerous multinational corporations, reflecting its status as a global IT destination. Beyond its technological prowess, Bangalore embraces a rich culture, blending tradition with modernity.

As day turns to night, the city comes alive with diverse entertainment options, from lively pubs and clubs to cultural events and music festivals. Bengaluru’s allure extends beyond its technological prominence, offering a unique blend of urban sophistication and cultural charm that captivates visitors and residents alike.

How to Get to Bangalore?

There are four ways one can get into Bangalore city.

Being the epicentre of the IT industry, Bangalore serves as a pivotal hub for air travel, hosting the Kempegowda International Airport . This airport, operating internationally for various airline providers, features two domestic terminals, namely T1 and T2. Situated approximately 35 kilometres from the heart of Bangalore city, it efficiently connects the region to domestic and international destinations.

Indigo stands out as one of the preferred airlines for those seeking budget-friendly domestic travel options. The airline’s cost-effective approach provides a reliable choice for travellers exploring domestic routes from Bangalore.

As passengers navigate the Kempegowda International Airport, they can access the convenience of domestic terminals T1 and T2, enhancing their overall travel experience. Whether embarking on business ventures or leisurely escapades, the accessibility and diverse airline options from Bangalore’s airport make travel seamless and efficient.

India boasts one of the most efficient railway systems globally, with an extensive network connecting major cities and towns nationwide. Securing train tickets for your journey is convenient through the Indian Railways, and bookings can be easily facilitated via the official IRCTC website.

This streamlined online platform ensures a hassle-free experience for travellers exploring India’s diverse landscapes and vibrant destinations by train. Embrace the convenience of the well-connected railway system, offering a reliable and accessible mode of transportation to traverse the length and breadth of the nation.

Regular bus services efficiently link Bangalore to cities like Hyderabad , Chennai, Kochi , and other towns. Securing bus tickets for your desired routes is straightforward through the Redbus website. This user-friendly platform simplifies the booking experience, allowing travellers to conveniently plan their journeys and explore the connectivity offered by the extensive bus network connecting Bangalore to different regional destinations.

Bangalore enjoys excellent connectivity through well-maintained national highways, facilitating smooth travel. The roads surrounding the city are in impeccable condition, making it effortless to drive into Bangalore from other cities. Whether embarking on a road trip or commuting for business or leisure, the robust road infrastructure ensures a comfortable and efficient journey into the heart of Bangalore. Explore the convenience of well-connected highways, allowing seamless access to and from the city for a hassle-free travel experience.

How to Get to the City from Bangalore Airport?

There are two transportation options for commuting between Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore Airport) and various locations in the city:

By Airport Shuttle

The most economical mode of transportation to reach the airport is through the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) airport shuttles, known as Vayu Vajra. These buses, equipped with Volvo services, operate across 11 routes and have frequent pickups from various key bus stops in Bangalore. For the latest and most accurate schedule information, passengers can refer to the official BMTC website.

The fare for a single journey between the Airport and Majestic is approximately INR 270.

Below are the timings from the Kempegowda bus stop:

The fastest option is a taxi, and both Ola and Uber services are permitted within the airport premises. These ride-hailing services are more cost-effective compared to other taxi providers.

Meru Airport cabs are readily accessible and have a more extensive fleet, making them a convenient choice. Having experimented with various transportation options, I have developed a preference for Meru Airport cabs.

This choice stems from the fact that buses tend to consume a significant amount of time, and there can be instances where Uber/Ola cab drivers decline trips, leading to potential confusion and inconvenience. In my experience, Meru Airport cabs offer a more reliable and hassle-free mode of transportation to and from the airport. The fare for a trip to the airport typically ranges from INR 1200 to 1500 per ride.

For solo female travellers or parents journeying during unconventional hours, choosing Go Pink cabs, driven by female operators, is a viable option. I recently utilized Go Pink cabs and found them reliable, secure, and dedicated to providing complete protection to female passengers. It’s important to note that the fares for these cabs are slightly higher than regular Meru Cabs. You can conveniently hail them from the exact locations as Meru Cabs, ensuring a secure and comfortable travel experience for female passengers.

Where to Stay in Bangalore?

Being one of India’s prominent cities, Bangalore offers many accommodation choices , catering to various budgets, including both economical and luxurious hotels, especially for families .

The prime areas for accommodation in Bangalore are MG Road, Cunningham Road, Commercial Street, and Ulsoor. Positioned at the city’s centre, these locations ensure convenient accessibility to other attractions. Notable options for consideration include Taj Westend Bengaluru or Jayamahal Palace Hotel , providing a diverse range of amenities and services for a comfortable stay.

I suggest considering the luxurious Taj Westend Bengaluru , a 5-star hotel on Race Course Road, The Oberoi , ITC Gardenia , Four Seasons on Bellary Road, Hyatt Centric on MG Road , and the historic Jayamahal Palace Hotel near the Cantonment railway station for a premium stay.

Alternatively, for those seeking budget-friendly accommodations, Zostel Indiranagar is a recommended option.

Overall, October to February are often recommended for a pleasant visit to Bangalore.

Not just that, Bangalore is home to some of the best colleges in India as well as some leading organisations. However, there's a softer side to this city. Bangalore is also famously known as the " Garden City " due to the vast, well-kept gardens scattered across the city. There are also a multitude of great cafes and restaurants in Bangalore. Apart from all this, Bangalore has some iconic sights such as the Vidhan Soudha and Bangalore Palace. So if you're looking to explore the city, here's a list of the top Bplaces to visit in Bangalore in 1 day.

So yes, even though it is possible to cover all the things to do in Bangalore in one day , if you have the option of spending the weekend here or a few more days then you will definitely find more things to do here.

Places to Visit in Bangalore in 1 Day - A One Day Bangalore Itinerary

While Bangalore may not be a place you'd want to spend many days in, but it's certainly a good place to visit on a weekend for even for one day. This Bangalore itinerary tell you all the places to visit in Bangalore in 1 day. But if you have more time, you can visit some of the other places here or even do a quick day trip to Mysuru.

1. Cubbon Park

Start your one day in Bangalore by taking an early-morning stroll in Cubbon Park . Among the hustle and bustle of the city, you’ll find this expansive area to be relaxed and calming. Here you’ll find people running, doing yoga, walking their dogs and even cycling. It’s great to see a whole bunch of people with varied interests coming together with one common intent - to relax and maintain their fitness. Granted that my image of Cubbon park doesn't look that appealing but trust me, this Bangalore park is better than my shoddy image of it.

Here is a complete guide to Cubbon Park - one of the best places to visit in Bangalore in 1 day.

2. Vidhan Soudha

Vidhan Soudha, an iconic landmark of Bangalore is just a short walking distance from Cubbon Park and one of the best places to visit in Bangalore in 1 day. Not only is it the state legislature of Karnataka, it is also the largest one in India. Vidhan Soudha in Karnataka is the epitome of grandeur. As a matter of fact, it costs 20 million rupees to maintain it’s splendour annually. Just opposite to this marvel lies the High Court of Karnataka, another beautiful building.

3. Breakfast at Little Green Cafe

It’s no doubt that there’s no shortage of awesome cafes in Bangalore. Because I had limited time and I wanted to visit one of the top instagrammble cafes in Bangalore, I walked toward Little Green Cafe. Because this cafe is a 15 minute walk from the Vidhan Soudha , you will save time when you have just one day in Bangalore.

From the minute I walked in, I fell in love with everything from the decor, the lights, the table tops, the cutlery to the extensive breakfast menu. I went for the Namaste Omelette , which was prepared in the Indian style using tomato, chillies and onions. It came with large toasts, a crunchy salad and grilled tomato. Everything on the plate was hearty and delicious. I honestly wish I could’ve come back here for lunch. In any case, there’s always a next time.

4. Bangalore Palace

Next stop is another iconic sight in Bangalore which can't be skipped from the places to visit in Bangalore in one day - the Bangalore Palace . Now, I felt the camera fees for the palace were a little steep. I bought a ticket for myself and paid a fee for just my DSLR camera, not my phone camera, which brought my total upto almost 1000 rupees.

Coming to the palace itself, the Bangalore Palace grounds were well-kept and gave away a great view of the palace. The tickets purchased can be used to access the grounds, the inside of the palace as well as a Bangalore Palace audio guide . The guides were insightful and gave away details about the palace, it’s residents and guests. Be sure to keep your ticket safe until the end of the visit since the staff does random checks at various points in the palace.

5. Tipu Sultan's Palace

After lunch, head to Tipu Sultan Palace which used to be the summer residence of Tipu Sultan , the ruler of the Kingdom Mysore during the 1700s. The rooms in the ground floor of the palace contain relics and pictures depicting Tipu Sultan and his reign. While the palace isn’t much and can be covered within 10-15 minutes, it’s just one of those Bangalore attractions which can’t be skipped and so I have included it in my 1-day Bangalore itinerary.

6. Lalbagh Botanical Garden

A visit to Bangalore will be incomplete if you haven’t visited one of the many Bangalore gardens. After all, Bangalore is known as Garden City for good reason. Take a leisurely evening stroll in one of the most popular gardens in Bangalore - Lalbagh garden. Make sure you visit the beautiful glass house which hosts flower shows twice a year. Not just that, there’s also a lake which you just can’t miss!

7. Indiranagar

Now that you’ve covered the most important sights in Bangalore, it’s time to let down your hair and experience the Bangalore nightlife. Indiranagar is undoubtedly the most happening place in Bangalore . It’s flooded with all the biggest stores, some of the best cafes in Bangalore and of course, great pubs. So pick your poison and have a gala in this fantastic area because Indiranagar is the best place to end your one day in Bangalore.

8. Dinner at Truffles

No trip to Bangalore will be complete without paying a visit to what is one of the best cafes in Bangalore. Truffles, located in Indiranagar, as mentioned earlier, is famous for its burgers and cold coffees . I had the cheese burger and asked for a brownie points cold coffee to go with it. The coffee came with a whole brownie, pulled apart into pieces and a giant scoop of vanilla ice-cream, topped with some chocolate sauce. That one coffee was way too delicious and way too much for one person. The burger had fantastic flavour and the potato chips were yum. Without a doubt, it’s one of the must visit places in Bangalore.

Day Trips from Bangalore

Bangalore, the IT hub of India, has a number of young, dynamic people living and working here. So it is only natural that they would need to take a break and look for day trips or weekend getaways from Bangalore .

Even if you are just visiting Bangalore and happen to have more than just one day in Bangalore, I suggest that you take a getaway to one of the many beautiful places near Bangalore.

Goa is the ultimate beach destination in India and the best day trip or weekend getaway from Bangalore. If you have more than one day in Bangalore, then you've got to visit Goa! You can rent a car and drive the 560 km distance or find an overnight sleeper bus.

Once in Goa, you can party in North Goa or if you're looking for serenity and something offbeat then consider visiting the many beautiful beaches in South Goa . Whatever you choose to do, you will never run out of fun things to do in Goa. In any case, because I lived in Goa for 14 years, take a look at my insider's travel guide to Goa to help plan your perfect Goa trip.

2. Kodaikanal

If you take the overnight sleeper bus from Bangalore late in the evening, then you will find yourself in beautiful Kodaikanal early in the morning. Known as the 'Princess of Hill Stations', the town is nestled in the western ghats of India.

Apart from a lake, many churches and food joints, there are many things to do in Kodaikanal in 2 days , making it the perfect day trip from Bangalore.

Anywone living in or visiting India, especiall the Southern half of India, is well aware of this place. Gokarna is a small temple and beach town on the western coast of India, very close to Goa.

Apart from  Hindu temples, there are many beaches in Gokarna. In fact, a Gokarna 5 beach trek is one of the best things to do here. And just like Kodaikanal, Gokarna is also an overnight journey from Bangalore.

4. Pondicherry

No visit to Southern India would be complete if one did not visit Pondicherry - a former French colony that still retains the architecture and food culture of its colonisers.

You will find many overnight buses to Pondicherry from Bangalore and arrive there early in the am. There are many things to do in Pondicherry that are too much to mention here and so I have written a detailed Pondicherry itinerary and travel guide that you can refer to and plan your getaway from Bangalore.

Planning Your Next Holiday? Read This....

Bangalore – the Silicon Valley of India and one of the busiest metropolitan cities in the country boasts of a modern and fast-paced life. Everyone needs a respite from the madness of the city and would want to take vacations often through the year. The key to enjoying a memorable holiday starts with finding a good travel agency in Bangalore . Good Bangalore tour operators not only assist in ticketing and reservations but also handhold you through the entire planning.

Look for a travel agency in Bangalore with experience and expertise in chalking out a well-laid-out tour plan within your budget and at a pace that’s most comfortable for you. Only the best tour operators in Bangalore can ensure that you can create beautiful travel memories that last a lifetime.

Make sure the tour operator is experienced and reliable. You can always check his credibility on Google – negative reviews, no reviews, and too many sugar-coated reviews are a stay-away alert.

Bangalore Travel Blog 2022: A Spirited One-Stop Metropolis

Bangalore Travel Blog: More than a destination guide, this is a blog about its people, development, city, traffic, tourism, and overall whether it’s worth visiting as a traveler. I decided to make this a separate post apart from my list of things to do in Bangalore for curious travelers/backpackers who haven’t an idea of what to expect here.

This post has more to do with the inner tips for backpackers, offbeat things to do, things to avoid, and some overall perspectives of the restless city . I hope this last bit of crumbles helps you out. Here goes my Bangalore travel blog .

Help yourself with this table of content:

Table of Contents

How to Get to Bangalore?

Lying in South Karnataka with no ends touching the country’s seas, the only ways to get there is by road, train, or flight. All the paths prove convenient depending on where you visit from. For interstate visitors, road and train connectivity are the cheapest options. For a 2 days itinerary, here’s how you can plan your Bangalore trip .

Buses and Majestic

There are diverse government and private buses available from different towns and villages around Karnataka. The most popular hub in Bangalore for bus travel is the Majestic bus station. It lies in the heart of the city with buses moving around the clock.

City route buses (BMTC) stroll the station during the day (Kempegowda Majestic St.) while the long-journey buses to different parts of the country fill the nights (buses around Anand Rao Circle). Any destination you’re looking to go from Bangalore or to any part of Bangalore, you should find a bus from here. The Majestic bus stand is also close to the railway and Metro Station.

Another post for you to read: Nandi Hills Travel Guide

Whether Bangalore or any part of the country, train’s said to be the cheapest and most comfortable option. With Bangalore being the second largest city in India areawise, it has many trains stops inside the city. I’m not sure about stations other than Bangalore, but here, the train stations have come a long way.

The walkways are much cleaner than in earlier days, they’re safer, and they even have WiFi today.

The four major stations here are:

• KSR Bengaluru City Junction (Station code: SBC) also known as Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna station near Majestic
• Cantonment Railway Station in Vasanth Nagar (BNC)
• Yeshwanthpur Junction (YPR),
• and Krishnarajapuram Railway Station (KJM)

Kempegowda International Airport (KIA)

The fastest way to get to Bangalore is via the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). It lies beyond Yelahanka on the outskirts of Bangalore and it’s a 25-30 km drive into the city. It’s one of the few major international airports in India and still expanding.

The easiest way is to get an Uber or Ola taxi to make it to the city. There’s a dedicated taxi stand for both the popular cab services right outside the airport terminals. There are plenty of other companies that offer Airport pickups such as Savaari, GoiBibo, and WelcomePickups.

Most travelers entering Bangalore prefer cab services as it’s most convenient for baggage handling. Moreover, who’d want the hustle of public transport after a long flight?

An affordable yet comfortable option for backpack travelers is the Vayu Vajra Volvo bus service (KSTDC). To those who aren’t aware, this is an air-conditioned bus service only to and fro for the airport route from different parts of Bangalore.

Check out the timings of buses along with their stations and routes from this site .

Best time to visit Bangalore

Compared to all the places I’ve visited and lived in in India, I believe that Bangalore has the best weather, facilities, and standard of living. While there are the rainy and winter seasons, the climate remains cool throughout the year. It’s usually never too cold or too hot.

So don’t bother about the climate when timing your visit. What you should look out for are the holiday season during Christmas and other special occasions.

Avoid the holiday season in Bangalore . If you haven’t any choice but to visit during the holiday season, make sure to book your preferred accommodation in advance.

Also, expect to spend more during this time as prices typically go higher. For example, Wonderla increases its prices on holidays sometimes by 10%. The same goes for attractions, cab prices due to higher traffic, and hotel accommodation.

Bangalore Travel Blog: How to Get around?

Unless you have a private/rented vehicle, getting around Bangalore is a considerable matter. For one, public transport in most areas is crowded and incredibly slow. It’s great for solo travelers used to the hustle but isn’t suitable when you’re carrying bags.

Metro is the most ideal transport in Bangalore but it has yet to cover many routes in Bangalore. But when in central Bangalore, the Metro proves to be the most reliable option for travel. You can keep a card and top up a good amount if you’re staying in Bangalore for long.

For a short-term stay, you can purchase a temporary coin (it’s basically an e-ticket for Metro) for a specific destination. Keep cash handy to purchase it as Metro stations almost never accept UPI or online payment.

Rental services are great when you’re well-versed with driving on Indian roads with its traffic. If not either of them, the last resort is online taxi services like Uber. These services are very reliable but can be expensive, considering the petrol rates today.

I’d recommend planning out your itinerary keeping the attractions’ locations in mind. For example, you can visit the Cubbon Park , Visvesvaraya Museum, Church Street, and MG road all in one go as they’re all close to one another.

Tips for using Cab Services

Cab services are the most reliable transport in Bangalore. They’re safer than other forms. Nonetheless, here are some precautions to take for first-time visitors:

• Book your ride from a trusted source . Some reputed services to go for are Ola, Uber, Meru, and Savaari.
• Avoid canceling your ride upon the driver’s request . Sometimes the driver will call up and request you to cancel the ride while they can do it themselves. When you cancel as a customer, extra charges will be levied on your next ride, so deny canceling and request to cancel it themselves.
• Don’t let the driver cancel once you’re in the vehicle . Don’t get me wrong – drivers are hospitable here. But online services take a huge commission from them. Thus some might ask if they can cancel the ride and let you have the ride for the same price. This is a win-win if you’re well-versed with the destination route and Bangalore. But if you aren’t and safety is your top priority, kindly deny the driver’s request.
• Keep an eye on the map route . Again, drivers tend to take shortcuts to lower fuel consumption and avoid tollbooths. For your safety, it’s best to request the driver to stay on the route as shown on the app.

Bangalore Travel Blog: Where to Stay?

There are all kinds of stays considering the city is tagged as the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, starting from dormitory hostels for backpack travelers to luxurious 7-star resorts for families.

There are tons of options for online hotel bookings. But from someone who’s booked stays locally, there are plenty of stays where you can book on the spot as well. When you don’t mind the quality of stay and need just a place to crash, finding accommodation shouldn’t be an issue in any part of Bangalore.

But for reputed hotels such as Radisson and Shangri-La, it’s best to prebook for the best prices – especially during the holiday seasons.

When you’re booking a budget stay online, make sure to pay after you check out the place yourself – there are tons of fake AirBnbs and you never know what’s behind that cozy-looking door. On the safer side, here are some trusted websites/apps I use for booking stays in any part of India:

• Booking.com : Has the widest range of options. They let you book rooms without upfront payment. Check out all stays in Bangalore here .
• HostelWorld : This is relatively new to India but has a reputation among backpack travelers around the world. But Bangalore already has over a dozen hostel stays registered on the site, so give it a try.
• ChoiceHotels : Comfort Inn by Choice Hotels is the perfect stay for family vacations in Bangalore. Book through their official site to avail of Choice Privileges points that help gets future discounts, rewards, and sometimes even free nights!

Things to Do in Bangalore

I’ve written about my encounters with adventurous activities in Bangalore over the years. I’ve yet to try more things. But putting all of these things together, here are all the crazy things to do in Bangalore:

• Walk around Cubbon Park
• Stroll the Church Street, MG Road, and Commercial Street
• Check out Lavelle Road and UB City
• Visit popular attractions like Lalbagh Botanical Garden, ISKCON Temple, Bangalore Palace, and HAL aerospace museum
• Drive to Nandi Hills at dawn
• Day trek to Skandagiri and Channagiri Betta
• Make a 1-Day trip to Wonderla, Bangalore
• Eat at innovative pet-friendly cafes like Therpup
• Try some exotic restobars and pubs in Indiranagar and Koramangla
• Go-kart at Meco Kartopia !
• Cycle with Bangalore’s cycling clubs
• Shop at malls like Phoenix MarketCity, Orion, and Mantri Square
• Book a vineyard tour
• Visit nature attractions around like Bannerghatta National Park, Akkayamma Betta , and Thottikallu Falls

These are all the things I got in mind when it comes to all the things to do in Bangalore. In a nutshell, Bangalore is a hub for literally anything you wish to try. It’s a place for any kind of traveler – be it someone religious or a party freak, a backpack trekking enthusiast , or an extravagant traveler.

And no matter what you’re into, you’re bound to find people with similar interests here. There are clubs, meetups, and groups for literally all types of interests. That makes up for the best part of the city – people here explore, engage, and encourage one another .

Insider tips for Visting Bangalore

Remember I mentioned some insider tips at the beginning of this Bangalore travel blog post? Well, here are some that most locals might be aware of. This goes out to welcome the curious travel enthusiasts who’ve yet to visit the Garden City of India.

Keep more than one payment form handy

• Drive early in the morning
• Have a Kannada-speaking local guide
• Avoid local auto stands for long distances
• Book on-the-spot for budget accommodation
• Make use of Yulu bikes
• Get your sim card from the airport

Withdraw from banks for foreign exchange currency

Always keep backup money handy. Most people don’t carry cash in Bangalore, thus it’s difficult to get a chance for all your payments. Make sure to keep some money on your online UPI wallet (PayTM, Google Pay, and PhonePe), and hard cash as well. Always keep the cash as your last resort.

Most shops, taxi drivers, and even coconut water vendors have online payment availability here.

For foreigners, keep in mind to make an online wallet account. Paytm is a great option to link your International card whereas previously you had to transfer funds to someone you know in India who can top up your Paytm wallet for your use.

Drive early in the Morning

I once got stuck in Bangalore’s traffic in the evening and I was stuck on the road for a good 3-4 hours! Avoid the evenings and afternoons while traveling at all costs, especially the highways. Early mornings between 6 to 8 am are best for getting around the city.

Have a Kannada Speaking local guide

There are people who might know English and yet will speak to you in Kannada on purpose. Forget foreign nationals, people who visit from North India find it difficult to deal with people here at times. If you’re getting a local guide, make sure they speak Kannada. The language goes a long way – thank me later :)

Avoid auto-stands for long-distances

Local auto and taxi stand here, like any place in the world, charge their own monstrous rates. Unless you know the locality well and can bargain, don’t go for it. Book an Uber for distances over 5 kilometers, it’ll save you a lot.

Book on-the-spot for Budget Accommodation

As I mentioned earlier, you never know what’s on the other side of that pretty vacation room. Check your stay out before you pay. But another tip to getting budget stays is to look for local accommodation .

I was looking to book accommodation near Majestic for a night, most budget stays start at Rs. 500 – 600 per night online. All I wanted was a place to freshen up. So I walked into a local inn on the same street and got a room for Rs. 400!

Make use of Yulu Bikes

No matter where you go, there’s a lot of walking wherever you go. In commercial hubs like Church Street, MG Road, and Cubbon Park, make use of Yulu bikes – they’re electric bikes, cheap, reliable, and most importantly easy to use for anyone.

Download the Yulu app , there will be a security deposit amount of Rs. 200 or so when you make an account. Once you take a ride, you can request your deposit amount back which will be returned after cutting off your ride fee.

Get your sim card from the Airport

Getting a sim card anywhere in India is tougher than in most countries. You’ll need to verify identification and proof of address which makes it a lengthy process when you’re getting one at a local sim card shop.

However, getting a sim card when you land at the airport is an easier and quicker method. I’d recommend getting the Airtel sim card as they offer the best network in most areas throughout India. I found this post that’ll help you get a sim card in India as a traveler .

The last tip on this Bangalore travel blog – Withdrawing cash from foreign exchange retail in the airport is convenient but we all know it’s expensive. Another alternative is to take out cash from an international bank ATM.

If you don’t have an international card, make an Indian bank account and deposit your funds to withdraw cash. Banks inevitably charge lesser for currency exchange than airports for large amounts. SBI bank is said to have low overseas exchange rates but has a currency equivalent limit of Rs. 50,000 for global transactions per month.
