2-Day Itinerary for Bengaluru in May 2023

  1. Day 1: Lalbagh Botanical Garden
    20 minutes (4.5 km) from Kempegowda International Airport

    Start the day at Lalbagh Botanical Garden, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Take a morning stroll through the lush gardens and admire the vibrant flowers and towering trees. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of some peacocks wandering around. In the afternoon, visit the glasshouse, which is modeled after London's Crystal Palace. Inside, you'll find a stunning display of exotic plants from all over the world. In the evening, enjoy a picnic on the lawn or attend one of the many cultural events that take place in the garden.

  2. Day 2: Bangalore Palace
    40 minutes (10.5 km) from Lalbagh Botanical Garden

    Spend the morning exploring the Bangalore Palace, a stunning 19th-century mansion that was once the residence of the Maharajas of Mysore. Marvel at the palace's intricate architecture, which combines elements of Tudor and Scottish Gothic styles. In the afternoon, head to the nearby Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, a beautiful structure built entirely out of teak wood. Take a leisurely stroll through the palace's tranquil gardens, which are filled with fragrant flowers and chirping birds. In the evening, visit the nearby Commercial Street, which is renowned for its vibrant shopping scene.

Recommendations

Bengaluru is full of fascinating attractions to explore, so make sure to check out some of the other local hotspots. If you're a history buff, don't miss the chance to visit the Bangalore Fort, which dates back to the 16th century. For a taste of local culture, head to the National Gallery of Modern Art or the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath. If you're up for a day trip, consider visiting the nearby Nandi Hills or the ancient temple town of Belur and Halebid.
