Bengaluru

Garden City & Silicon Valley of India

Back to attractions

A vibrant metropolis of parks, palaces, craft breweries, and India's thriving tech and startup culture.

Bengaluru (Bangalore) is Karnataka's capital and India's most dynamic city — where colonial-era bungalows, Lalbagh Botanical Garden, and Cubbon Park meet world-class dining, craft beer, and a cosmopolitan arts scene. Visit the Bangalore Palace inspired by Windsor Castle, Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, the Bull Temple, and the innovative museums of the city. Bengaluru is the gateway to Karnataka — Kempegowda International Airport connects to destinations worldwide, and the city makes an ideal base for day trips to Nandi Hills, Mysuru, and beyond.
