We may have been a small, rather nondescript town, till much after Independence, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our history! You can acquaint yourself with the city at the 16th century Bangalore fort or at Tipu’s Summer Palace. You can take in the beauty of stately Bangalore Palace or study the many examples of architecture from the British Raj, including, Mayo Hall and the Government buildings on Nrupathunga Road. Of course, no trip to Bangalore can be called complete without a visit to the Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the State Government, and the equally iconic Attara Kacheri.
Tip: Hit up areas like Basavangudi, Ulsoor, Shivajinagar, Cook Town, and Malleshwaram to check out remnants of old houses and other buildings too.
