Places to Visit in Bengaluru
Bangalore Palace
Get a fill of amazing architecture and artifacts that this extensively renovated tourist attraction has to offer. With an excellent audio guide to keep you company, you’re sure to learn something new. Alas, the guide skipped on any explanation about the many nude paintings within the building. Still, they make a visit to the palace worth the entrance fee.
Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace
This 1790 structure is Tipu Sultan’s summer retreat, admired for its finely embellished arches, balconies, and pillars. The two-story structure is mostly made of wood.
Temples
You’ll find plenty of them in Bengaluru and no holiday packages are complete without a visit to some of these temples. Take your pick from the Bull Temple, the Gavi Gangadeshwara Cave Temple, and the Dodda Ganapathi, among others.
Churches
Although not as many as temples, but there are several churches in Bengaluru that are worth checking out for their architecture and history. One of the oldest is the Holy Trinity Church that was built in 1851.
