Morning: Start the day with an inexpensive South Indian breakfast at MTR, where a plate of idli and chutney costs just a few rupees. After eating, take a short walk to the historic Vidhana Soudha to admire its grand architecture from the outside (free).
Afternoon (starting at 3 PM): Head to Cubbon Park for a relaxing stroll among lush greenery; entry is free and you can enjoy street performances. Then walk over to the nearby Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum, which offers a discounted student rate for its interactive exhibits.
Evening: Explore the bustling KR Market area, sampling affordable street food like vada pav and masala dosa from local stalls. End the night with a budget-friendly movie at a nearby INOX theater during a matinee discount.
Find HotelsIf you have extra time, consider adding a visit to the nearby National Gallery of Modern Art (free entry on Sundays) or a bike ride around Lalbagh Botanical Garden. To shorten the itinerary, skip the museum and head straight from Cubbon Park to the street food market, saving both time and a small portion of the budget.
