Bangalore Travel Guide: 745 reviews and 942 photos
Hi, thanks for visiting
I spent just 2 weeks in Bangalore for a business trip in October 2007. I'd found VT and other websites so useful prior to my trip, especially as I was a first-time traveller.
Hopefully I can pass on some of my useful tips & information to you if you're planning on visiting.
You can read my travel blog of Bangalore/Hampi/Mysore here:

I would recommend Bangalore as your gateway to India, if you have not yet planned your trip yet, but are planning on actually going to India, I recommend you go to Bangalore first, it will give you a taste of India with some modern westernized familiarities....
If you're not going on a business trip I recommend a good 3 days maximum, you can easily see everything in this time. Of course if you're on an extended stay, there is always something to do...
Please if you find any of my tips useful, rate them and feel free to leave comments
