Useful Tips

If you have extra time, visit Bangalore Palace for a glimpse of Victorian architecture. Alternatively, make a day trip to hill stations such as Nandi Hills (61.6 km), and enjoy panoramic views over a cup of chai. For shorter trips, take the kids to Team Outings or Shiela's Wheels for games and rides. For foodies, try the street food at VV Puram, or indulge in regional cuisine at local favourites like The Spicy Venue or Southindies.

If you have less time, cut out either the National Gallery of Modern Art or Cubbon Park. If you're short on cash, consider skipping Wonderla Amusement Park, which is the most expensive attraction on the list. You could also substitute a day of sightseeing with a family picnic or visiting a local temple, such as the ISKCON temple or Bull Temple.
