An exquisite European style church, St. Philomena's Cathedral is a must-visit. The mosaics on the walls that depict various scenes from the Bible are a treat to the eyes. With the tallest Church spire in Asia, this place is eye-catching even from afar.
Being a part of India's vast rail history, Rail Museum takes you on a journey showcasing the evolution of trains with several locomotives, coaches and engine models. The museum has various interactive sections for kids to enjoy and learn.
Chamundeshwari Temple is Mysore's pride and joy. Set atop of a hill and surrounded by lush greenery, it is a spectacular temple with fabulous architecture. The temple complex consists of a museum which has images and depictions on the goddess Chamundi, the mother goddess of Mysore.
If you have more time to spare, we recommend the Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens and the gorgeous Brindavan Gardens. The former is vast and offers more animals to observe, and the latter is a garden with an iconic dancing fountain. If you're tight on time, consider skipping the Rail Museum.
