Botanischer Garten Lalbagh
Lalbagh Botanical Garden is one of Bengaluru’s most iconic landmarks, developed over 250 years by various rulers of the region. Spread across 240 acres, it is known for its wide variety of plants, heritage trees, and peaceful landscapes.
During our visit, we will see key landmarks such as:
• The Peninsular Gneiss rock formation
• The Glass House, inspired by European architecture
• Lalbagh Lake and surrounding garden areas
You will also get an overview of how Lalbagh evolved from a royal garden into a public botanical space. This visit offers a calm introduction to Bengaluru’s natural and historical heritage.

Tipu Sultan Fort und Palast – Bangalore KR Markt
Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace is an 18th-century teakwood structure built during the Mysore Kingdom. Known for its carved pillars, arches, and painted ceilings, it served as a seasonal residence for Tipu Sultan and his court.
As this is a protected monument, a government-certified site guide provides an introduction to the architecture, the audience hall, and how the palace was used during Tipu’s time.
You will also hear additional historical context about Tipu Sultan, his family, and the Mysore rulers who shaped this period. The palace offers a brief but meaningful glimpse into Bengaluru’s early political and cultural history.

Bangalore Fort
Originally built as a mud fort in 1537 by Kempegowda—the founder of Bengaluru—it was later strengthened in stone by Hyder Ali in the 18th century. Only a small portion survives today, but this site still marks the birthplace of the city and its earliest political struggles.
During this stop, I walk you through:
How the fort evolved under different rulers
Its role during the Mysore–British conflicts
Why this small remaining fragment is still historically important
A short but meaningful window into Bengaluru’s origins.

UB-Stadt
After exploring the historic heart of the city, we pause for lunch at UB City — Bengaluru’s signature luxury complex and a symbol of its modern, global identity.
The iconic UB Tower, premium restaurants, open-air piazza, and international brands create a very different atmosphere from old Bengaluru, offering a glimpse of the city’s contemporary lifestyle.
We break here for a relaxed lunch at one of the finest restaurants, giving you a taste of Bengaluru’s cosmopolitan side before continuing our journey through the city.

Cubbon Park
Named after Sir Mark Cubbon, this 300-acre park is where Bengaluru truly breathes.
We make a short stop of about 45 minutes to an hour here — a gentle walk to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the greenery, and pause at iconic landmarks.
Along the way, I share delightful, surprising, and even funny stories about Cubbon Park — how it evolved, who shaped it, and the role it played in making Bengaluru the city it is today.

Vidhana Soudha und Attara Kacheri
These two iconic structures face each other across a ceremonial boulevard — a visual dialogue between old Bangalore and the new Karnataka.
We pause here for a short walk and a relaxed photo session, taking in:
• Vidhana Soudha — an architectural and engineering marvel, celebrated as one of India’s grandest legislative buildings
• Attara Kacheri (High Court of Karnataka) — the striking red colonial-era structure directly opposite it
While visitors cannot enter the premises due to security restrictions, viewing them together is an experience in itself. The placement of these two buildings has a story — a deliberate choice that reveals much about Bengaluru’s aspirations, identity, and political history.
During this stop, I share the immersive and lesser-known stories behind their construction, symbolism, and their place in Bengaluru’s evolving narrative. This is where the city’s past and present stand face-to-face.
30 Minuten

Cauvery Handicrafts
Our final stop is Cauvery Emporium, Karnataka’s iconic state-run handicrafts store on MG Road. This is where you find authentic, government-certified art and craft — no replicas, no imitations.
From genuine Mysore sandalwood carvings (each with an official registration number) to hand-painted artefacts, traditional textiles, metal crafts, and unique Karnataka souvenirs, this is the perfect place to pick up meaningful gifts for your home or family.
