Things to do in  Bangalore

Bangalore has great nightlife and tons of restaurants, so plenty of people go out for drinks or meals in the evenings. Going out to see films is also popular. There are also many great parks all over the city, ideal for taking in fresh air with friends or family members.

It depends on who you ask. From a business perspective, Bangalore is known for its IT industry, and a large portion of the city's population has moved from elsewhere in India to work in tech roles. It's also known as the Garden City due to its abundance of green spaces.

If you have a day in Bangalore, spend your morning visiting Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, an 18th-century structure made entirely of teak. Then head over to Lalbagh, one of the prettiest gardens in the city. Then, grab lunch before heading over to the grand Bangalore Palace.

Yes, Bangalore is worth visiting. It not only has lots of gorgeous old buildings and lush green spaces, but it also has great dining, nightlife, and shopping. The city is also a fine base for taking day trips to the scenic Nandi Hills or the nearby historic city of Mysore.

Although Bangalore is celebrated for its relatively moderate climate, the best time to visit is from Oct.–Mar., when the weather is at its coolest and most pleasant. The city is best avoided in the annual monsoon season, which runs from June–Sep.

Bangalore is famous for South Indian classics such as masala dosas and idlis, along with lesser-known treats such as flour-and-banana Mangalore buns and puran poli, a sweet flatbread. Another must-sample dish is bisi bele bath, a richly spiced dish of rice and lentils that was likely conceived in Mysore Palace.
