Lalbagh Botanical Garden is a beautiful garden that covers 240 acres and is home to over 1000 different species of plants. Highlights include the lake, the floral clock and the Glass House. Tip: Try to visit early in the morning or late in the evening for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Bangalore Palace is a stunning palace with Tudor-style architecture. The palace was built in 1878 and is now a popular tourist attraction. The palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens and houses a museum with paintings, photographs and artefacts from the royal family. Tip: The palace can get crowded during weekends and public holidays, so try to visit on a weekday.
Commercial Street is a bustling market street with over 800 shops selling everything from clothes to jewellery to electronics. The street is always crowded, and bargaining is a must. Tip: Try the street food while you shop.
If you have more time, consider adding Cubbon Park and Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace to your itinerary. For those with less time, skip Bangalore Palace and head straight to Commercial Street for some shopping.
