There are a number of
tourist attractions to visit in and around the city of
Bangalore. Of historical, religious and contemporary
interests, these tourists spots are easily accessible
and worth a visit. The Vidhan Soudha makes the major
attraction in Bangalore. The building is a massive
neo-Dravidian architecture presently functioning as the
state legislative assembly. The Cubbon Park in the heart
of the city, Lal Bagh (famous for the blooming red
roses), and the Bangalore Palace are some of the other
must see attractions of this garden city. The Venkatappa
Art Gallery houses about 600 paintings on display. The
Tipu's Palace and the adjoining fort are fine examples
of Indo-Islamic architecture that also offer a glimpse
into the Mughal lifestyle of the day. Among the
religious places, the ISKCON Temple, Shiva Statue, and
the Bull Temple are worth visiting. Besides, one can
also visit the Aquarium, which is the second largest in
the country, as well as the Jawaharlal Nehru
Planetarium. |
