OVERVIEW

Bengaluru occupies a high plateau in southern India, giving it a milder climate than many cities at similar latitude. Once known for gardens and military cantonments, it is now a major technology centre of dense traffic, office districts and fast-growing suburbs. Older markets, temples and colonial institutions survive within a highly modern urban economy.

Restaurants range from traditional south Indian breakfast counters to ambitious contemporary dining, while breweries and live music give the city a strong evening culture. Neighbourhoods differ greatly in character and are spread across a large area, making travel time a major consideration. Green spaces remain valuable, though rapid development has reduced the garden-city feel in many districts.
