India's green-tech garden city
India's cosmopolitan tech capital — leafy boulevards, palaces and lakes, a booming craft-beer and café scene, and the country's most laid-back big-city climate.




Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Metro plus ride-hailing; traffic is heavy so plan around it.
Drive to Nandi Hills before dawn for a sea-of-clouds sunrise above the plains.
Generally safe for tourists; use registered transport, dress modestly at temples, and drink bottled water.
India's craft-beer capital — Indiranagar and Koramangala bars.
