The Mysore Palace is a must-visit for anyone coming to Mysore. Also known as the Amba Vilas Palace, it is a historical palace and was once the residence of the Wodeyars, the rulers of Mysore. The palace is an example of beautiful Indo-Saracenic architecture with intricate design work and magnificent pillars. There are guides available to take you on a tour of the palace and educate you on the history of Mysore. There is also a beautiful light and sound show that happens in the evening at the palace.
A spectacular garden situated on the banks of the Kaveri river, the Brindavan Gardens is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mysore. The garden is a wonderful spot to relax the mind, take a leisurely walk, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The garden also has a musical fountain show in the evening which is a sight to behold.
If you have more time, you can visit the nearby railway museum or the Mysore Zoo. If you have less time, you can skip the light and sound show at the Mysore Palace or the musical fountain show at Brindavan Gardens.
