Experience the best of Bangalore
- Long before
Bangalore became the Silicon City or the start-up city, it was the City of
Gardens and still is. Start your Bangalore weekend with a visit to the
finest gardens, the Cubbon Park. If you stay at one of the luxury
hotels in Bangalore, the Park is just about 10-15 minutes away. The
park, laid out in the second half of the 19th century, is an absolute
delight. Spread across 300 acres, it is home to stately buildings,
including the most well-known of them all, the High Court, earlier known
as Attara Kacheri and the Library housed in the Seshadri Iyer Memorial
Hall.
- In South Bangalore,
you will come across another major lung space of Bangalore, the Lal Bagh.
Originally laid out by Mysore ruler Hyder Ali, it was completed by Tipu
Sultan. The park is home to one of the country's biggest collection of
plant and bird species. The centre of attraction in the park is the Glass
House, inspired by the Crystal Palace in London. Also famous is the Rock
of Lalbagh, which is said to be among the oldest of such rock formations
on the planet.
- Visit Basavanagudi, home to traditional markets and the famed Big Bull or the Basava temple. You can also visit the palace of Tipu Sultan while in South Bangalore. Enjoy a dosa or two at the famous Vidyarthi Bhavan, a restaurant which has stood the test of times, in Gandhi Bazaar. There are other well-known temples which date back many centuries such as the Kote Venkataramana temple in the Fort area of South Bangalore. All these places are easily accessible from one of the luxury hotels in Bangalore you are staying in.
