Your Key To Bengaluru, The Silicon Valley of India – 2020 Les Clefs d’Or Award Nominee – India

The vibrant city of Karnataka ‘BENGALURU’ is a fusion of great history and modern technology. It is an amalgamation of culture, history & modernisation in India. It is a crossroad of the old and new, fast emerging as a technology hub of the world. Bengaluru is known as India’s Silicon Valley & the Garden City.

HERITAGE

The Colonial history of Bengaluru takes you to approximately 150 years back when the British made this region of India as their administrative base. The St Mark’s Cathedral Church, The Attara Kacheri in Cubbon Park, Tipu Sultan Summer Palace & The K R Market which is one of the biggest flower market’s in Asia are some of the Colonial structures that will take you back in the history of this beautiful City.

The architectural heritage of Bengaluru includes the two must visit places i.e., The Vidhana Soudha, the largest Legislative building in India made in a Neo Dravidian style, The Bangalore Palace is inspired by The Windsor Castle in London. At Four Seasons we unfold the history of this magnificent Palace through our exclusive Royal Bangalore Palace Experience which includes a walkthrough the Palace along with Lunch with the Royalties.

SILICON VALLEY

Bengaluru is home to various headquarters of Software Industries of India along with popular Educational & Research Institutes. This city attracts thousands of software engineers and IT specialists from all over India. Apart from being an IT hub, Bengaluru also is house to many Start-ups, trending the culture of co working spaces in the city.

GARDEN CITY

Bengaluru is everyone’s top place to visit due to its most pleasant weather in India. It houses two nationally recognised botanical gardens Cubbon Park & Lal Bagh which attracts a lot of walkers and yoga lovers early morning.

It also hosts flower shows annually which has almost 1000 species of plants on display. Talking about numbers here is a one of the oldest suburb of the city Malleshwaram, known for its centuries old temples which unwrap the history of its enrich culture.

CUISINE

Bengaluru is very well known for its delicious South Indian Breakfast at the traditional renowned restaurants of the city like MTR / CTR / Vidyarthi Bhavan which serve impeccable Dosas and filter coffee. There are various restaurants in the city which offer authentic cuisine of this region like The Tasting Room experience of Gowda & Mangalorean cuisine at Bengaluru Oota Company where you cannot miss to have Kori Gassi with Crisp Rotti, Ragi Mudde with Mamsa Saaru and a Coastal Andhra cuisine experience at Nagarjuna where the Plantain Leaf Experience cannot be
missed along with the Biryani at Meghana’s.

MICRO BREWERIES

Bengaluru has an enchanting night life with the growing Microbreweries in the city. The Micro Brewery in Bangalore offers a tour experiencing the process involved in brewing of Beer. One of the first Micro Brewery is the Biere Club which is still famous for its freshly brewed Belgium Wheat Beer. The Byg Brewski at Hennur is Asia’s largest brew pub and is the first to Introduce Cryo Citra Wit in India.

Last but not the least recommendations from my personal experience of this exquisite city are: –
– Maleshwaram Walk
– Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple at Nandi Hills
– Arial view of the Bengaluru city from Jakkur Flying Club
– Drinks at Druid Garden followed by dinner at Bangalore Oota Company
