Places to Visit by Metro

Start with a morning walk in Cubbon Park (opens 6 AM) and explore the heritage High Court building at its edge. Cross to Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum for hands-on science exhibits before lunch. Wrap up at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath for rotating art exhibitions — all within a 1.5 km radius of the metro exit.

Begin at MG Road itself for morning coffee along the boulevard, then walk to Brigade Road for shopping. Cut through Church Street to Trinity Circle for brunch at one of the heritage cafés. End the loop at Shivaji Nagar flower market for an authentic Bengaluru street experience — the entire loop is under 2 km on foot.

Enter Lalbagh Botanical Garden via the South Gate at 6 AM for the best light and fewest crowds. Follow the path to the Glass House and the ancient volcanic rock formation. Exit via the North Gate and walk to Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR) for the legendary masala dosa breakfast. Finish at the Russell Market for fresh produce and flowers.
