Bengaluru

India’s Silicon Valley mixes craft beer, startup cafés, and Cubbon Park’s canopies with weekend escapes to Nandi Hills or vineyards.

Use metro and ride-hailing to dodge peak traffic; airport is far east—budget time. Lalbagh’s glasshouse and Tipu’s summer palace anchor heritage walks. Weather is mild year-round but February–May warms; July–September brings sudden showers. Explore microbreweries responsibly; many pubs close by midnight. Day-trip to Lepakshi or Shravanabelagola if you hire a driver.
