Historical Places

Bangalore’s history whispers through its streets, and you’ll feel it at places like Bangalore Palace. This Tudor-style beauty looks like it’s straight outta England, but its stories are pure Karnataka, with royal vibes and new night tours under the stars. Tipu Sultan’s Summer Fort in the city center is another must-see, recently spruced up with exhibits about the “Tiger of Mysore.” It’s a quick visit but packed with history about battles and bravery. Then there’s the ancient temples — like the Bull Temple in Basavanagudi or tucked-away shrines in Malleswaram — where you can feel Bangalore’s spiritual roots.

These spots aren’t just for history buffs. Tourists love the Insta-worthy architecture, expats get a crash course in local heritage, and researchers can dig into archives at places like the Karnataka State Archives nearby. Join a heritage walk in Basavanagudi to uncover hidden stories, from colonial bungalows to centuries-old carvings. Bangalore’s past is alive, and it’s waiting for you to step back in time.
