Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, in the state of Karnataka in southern India is the major center of India's IT industry. Once called the "Garden City of India" and the "Pensioner's Paradise", these epithets no longer apply to Bengaluru, which is today a large cosmopolitan city with diminishing green spaces and a large working population.

 

 

 

Unlike other parts of India which are extremely hot in the summer months, Bengaluru enjoys a relatively mild climate year round; it is best visited in the winters. Home to well over 6 million people, and a base for over 10,000 industries, Bangalore combines a quaint old world charm with the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolitan city. It is a delightful place with an amalgamation of various rich cultures, crafts, and heritage centers.

 

 

 

The city of Bangalore has numerous tourist attractions to keep its visitors busy. Right from beautiful gardens to serene lake to magnificent palaces, the city offers a wide variety to those who are planning to go on Bangalore sightseeing tours.

 

 

 

Bangalore is even gaining the status of the "Floriculture Capital of India" due to the present blossoming of flower exports from the city. The beautiful parks like the Lalbagh and Cubbon Park are indeed a treat to the eyes.

 

 

 

The important landmarks of Bangalore Tourist Places are Vidhana Saudha, Cubbon Park, Bangalore Palace, Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, Venkatappa Art Gallery, Big Banyan Tree, Hugh Statue of Lord Shiva, ISKCON temple, Mukti Naga Temple etc.

 

 

 

If you need a break from life on the road, its bars and restaurants can provide some much-needed light relief. While you are sinking a few beers and munching on pizza, you can contemplate the pros and cons of modern India's confused but headlong rush into the 21st century.
