Discover Bangalore

Bangalore today is India's "Silicon City", center of its thriving electronics industry, and a major business center, as well. But it was once known as the "Garden City", and you can still see its wonderful parks, broad tree-lined streets and imposing old public buildings.

Capital of the state of Karnataka, it is situated 1000 m above sea level, and enjoys a pleasant climate. It has a number of attractions, ranging from Tipu Sultan's summer palace to its beautiful parks. It also offers the visitor a wide selection of shopping opportunities and restaurants.

Bangalore is also a stepping off point for an interesting hinterland, which offers some excellent old temples, forts, nature parks and hill country.
