Begin your day with a refreshing stroll through Lalbagh Botanical Garden, arriving early to enjoy the glasshouse, dew-lit lawns and the seasonal flower shows; grab a chai from a nearby stall and watch morning walkers and joggers. Afterwards wander to the nearby Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace to soak in Indo-Islamic architecture and palace artifacts, then head to Russell Market for a colorful sensory burst-pick up fresh cut flowers, local spices and street-food snacks like masala dosa from a beloved stall to fuel the rest of your exploration.
After a flavorful morning, head to Cubbon Park for a leisurely walk among heritage trees and the stately public buildings that edge the park; pause at the Bengaluru High Court lawns for photos and the park's shaded benches for people-watching. From there, stroll toward Commercial Street for eclectic shopping-browse for silk scarves, handicrafts and jewel-toned sarees, duck into a tiny cafe for an iced filter coffee, then finish the afternoon with a stop at Bengaluru Palace (external views and grounds) to admire Tudor-style architecture as the golden afternoon light softens the cityscape.
As twilight falls, wander to Church Street for a lively mix of bookshops, bars and street performers-stop at a cozy bookstore-cafe for an iced filter coffee or a craft beer on its terrace. Then head to UB City for some window-shopping and rooftop views; choose a sleek bar for dinner and try modern Karnataka-inspired plates or a tasting platter while enjoying live music, finishing with a relaxed walk through the illuminated fountains at Raj Bhavan perimeter (view from outside) to close the day.
Start your day with a contemplative visit to ISKCON Temple Bangalore for the serene morning aarti and crisp temple prasad, then wander the nearby lanes to a popular local breakfast spot for a steaming plate of rava idli and filter coffee. Afterward, explore the leafy, tech-meets-heritage vibe of Koramangala on foot-browse indie boutiques and murals, stop at a co-working café for a quick rest, and visit the quirky Ranga Shankara theatre area to peek at contemporary Kannada theatre posters and small galleries before lunch.
After a leisurely morning in Koramangala, take an easy ride to the creative hub of Indiranagar and wander through its boutique-lined lanes, stopping for a late brunch at Toit or a craft coffee at DYU Art Cafe while people-watching. Continue to Hosur Road's Phoenix Marketcity for a mix of contemporary shopping and a visit to the small but vibrant Kumara Krupa Gallery (for local contemporary art), then relax with an early-evening stroll around the tree-lined walkways of Jayanagar 4th T Block to sample street-side snacks like churmuri and a refreshing sugarcane juice before gearing up for the rooftop food walk tonight.
As dusk settles, head to Toit Brewpub in Indiranagar for a lively start-sip a house craft beer or a masala chai mocktail on the terrace while sampling wood-fired pizzas and local kebabs. Then join a guided street-food walk through VV Puram Food Street to taste iconic Bengaluru bites like benne dosa, egg puff and sugary jalebi from beloved vendors, finishing with rooftop cocktails and skyline views at Skyye Lounge for a relaxed nightcap and live-DJ atmosphere.
