Things You Cannot Miss Out On When in Bangalore

There are so many cultural and ethnic attractions in Bangalore that give you a rush of excitement as you visit them. Every moment spent at these places is blissful and makes you marvel their beauty. It is these places that define this growing city called Bangalore. So when you are in Bangalore it is these places that you should never miss out on.

You should go to Attara Kacheri which houses the High Court of Karnataka, Chokkanathaswamy Temple that dates back to 10th century AD, Glass House in Lal Bagh Botanical Garden and Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace where the Tiger of Mysore enjoyed the summer season. Shopping in Commercial Street which is a huge area of delight for all the shoppers out there is a great idea too. It is a whole new experience and missing it out is just not possible! From western to ethnic, there is a vast variety of stuff that you can purchase here.

One of the most beautiful places to visit is the MG Road Boulevard, which is a lifesaver of a majority of open spaces in Bangalore. With play zones for kids, snake and stepping ladders, diversion and more than 1,000 saplings of different sorts, the street will win your heart with its weekend flea markets and theater in Rangasthala.

After a long day of monument hopping and mall shopping, strolling down Brigade Church Street in the night, especially during Christmas is an absolute delight and one must do it for the vibrant colored lights and the hustling crowd that moves there.

To get an extra dose of entertainment you can go for the Bangalore Aero Show. Filled with a plethora of airplanes and jets, this is a show worth watching. Be it at an early hour in the morning or a late show in the evening, you will enjoy it the same. The long drives alone or with loved ones to the airport are a must too when you are in Bangalore. Just sit in the car with your family or friends and drive aimlessly around the city listening to your favorite songs. 

Do not forget to enjoy the city's glamorous and wild nightlife which is nothing less than magical. With party spots like Skyye, Pecos, High etc the nightlife of Bangalore justifies its title of the pub capital. 

Other activities that you can indulge in are boating in the beautiful Ulsoor Lake that is surrounded by lush greenery or taking a run in the Bengaluru Marathon to get some fitness goals or even going to a Toastmasters session and getting some public speaking and leadership skill advice. 

Visiting a vineyard in the Nandi hills or on the outskirts of Bangalore can be an enriching experience, both intellectually and emotionally. While traveling and admiring the beauty of the city you should gorge on some of the food items that Bangalore is famous for. Dosas are something that completes the south Indian cuisine and so it will be unfair if you do not stop by an eatery to get some of it and the best place to get good dosas is MTR, the oldest restaurant in Bangalore that gave flavor to the city. 

Other things you should savor are Bhelpuri and Gobi Manchurian that will leave you wanting for more of their spicy aftertaste. But no matter what you have do not forget to order coffee with it because you are in south India and you can’t miss out on coffee. Do forget to get a taste of these dishes because only after that you will actually realize that Bangalore is not just about sprawling buildings and technology.

Bangalore is not just a city, it is a lifestyle, an experience that needs to be lived and felt and to do that all the things mentioned above are a must.
