About Bengaluru

Discover Bengaluru

Why visit Bengaluru?
Bengaluru, often known as India’s garden city and technology hub, blends leafy neighbourhoods with a dynamic start-up culture. You will find tree-lined streets, contemporary cafés, and historic landmarks sharing space with glass-fronted offices and buzzy co-working spaces.

What to expect
The city’s core areas, such as MG Road, Indiranagar, and Koramangala, offer a mix of office towers, relaxed bars, and boutique stores. Traffic can be busy, but new metro lines and ride-hailing options make it easier to move between business districts, residential pockets, and green parks.

Plan your trip
Bengaluru works equally well as a base for business or a relaxed urban break before exploring southern India. From here you can connect onwards to heritage cities, hill stations, and wildlife reserves, using the city as a convenient gateway to Karnataka and neighbouring states.
