Travel Guide Bengaluru

1. Cosmopolitan Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) is one of India's most progressive and developed cities, blessed with a
benevolent climate and a burgeoning drinking, dining and shopping scene. Yes, its creature comforts are a godsend to
the weary traveller who has done the hard yards and it's a great city for mixing with locals in craft beer joints or quirky
independent cafes. Though there are no world-class sights, you'll nd lovely parks and striking Victorian-era
architecture.
The past decade has seen a mad surge of development, coupled with trafc congestion and rising pollution levels. But
the central district (dating back to the British Raj years) remains little changed, and the landmark corporate HQs and
businessparksofthecity'sboomingITindustryaremostlyintheoutersuburbs.
