Experience a slice of Bangalore: Walk through Lalbagh, discover art at NGMA, find local flavours at KR Market, and end the day with a spot of shopping.
Spread over two hundred and forty acres, this wonderful garden is home to ancient trees and diverse species of plants. Take a guided tour to explore its delights. Don’t miss the stunning flower shows, held twice a year.
Lose track of time as you admire stupendous art pieces at NGMA. There is an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures and early photography to be discovered, as well as a garden, dotted with trees and fountains, to unwind at.
The colourful market is filled with beautiful sights – piles of the freshest produce, heaps of spices and lovely copperware. Tipu Sultan’s Palace nearby, with its teak pillars and ornamental frescoes, is worth a visit too.
A mixed bag of big brands and local boutiques, Brigade Road is a great place to spend the day. There’s plenty to eat here too, when you need a break from all that shopping. Visit around New Year to see the stretch draped in rows and rows of fairy lights.
Here, you can spend hours amid the bookshelves, which have stacks of yellowed tomes as well as the newest bestsellers, all reasonably priced. It’s not for nothing that this place is considered a Bangalore institution.
