City hotel guide

Bangalore

Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, serves as the capital of Karnataka in southern India. Situated on the Deccan Plateau at an altitude of 900 meters, it is renowned as India's 'Garden City' for its abundant parks and greenery. With archaeological evidence of settlement dating back to 4000 BCE and historical roots tracing to Kempe Gowda I's fort in 1537, the city blends ancient petes with colonial-era cantonments. As the third most populous city in India and the most populous in the south, Bengaluru offers a unique mix of heritage and modernity, making it a key destination for travelers seeking both cultural depth and comfortable urban amenities.

Getting there & around

From the airport

Bengaluru’s main airport is Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), about 35 km north of the centre. To MG Road/Majestic/CBD, app/airport taxis are usually the simplest first-arrival choice: roughly 45-90+ minutes depending on traffic. BMTC Vayu Vajra AC airport buses run 24/7-style routes to major areas such as Majestic, MG Road, Indiranagar, Whitefield and Hebbal; allow about 60-120 minutes. Limited suburban trains serve KIA Halt with a short airport shuttle, useful only if timings match; expect roughly 45-60 minutes train time plus shuttle/wait. There is no direct airport metro in service as of 2026-06-20; the Blue Line airport link is still under construction.

Around the city

Use Namma Metro where it fits: Purple Line is the most visitor-useful for MG Road, Cubbon Park, Indiranagar and Whitefield; Green Line runs north-south via Majestic; Yellow Line links RV Road toward Electronic City/Bommasandra. For several rides, get a Namma Metro smart card/NCMC at stations; for occasional rides, QR tickets via station machines/apps are fine. BMTC buses fill gaps, while autos and ride-hail work best for last mile. Traffic is severe, so choose hotels near your main meetings or sights and avoid cross-city road trips at peak hours.

Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

The old city comprises the historic Pete areas and the newer Cantonment zone. Travelers often choose bases near the Cantonment for better access to modern amenities and transport links, while those interested in heritage may prefer the Pete district. Both areas offer a variety of accommodations suitable for different travel styles.

Getting Around

Bengaluru's layout includes distinct urban settlements like the old Pete and the Cantonment. While the city has expanded significantly, the core areas remain accessible via local transport. The pleasant high-altitude climate makes walking or short taxi rides feasible for exploring key districts and historical sites within the city center.

Best Season

Located at 900 meters above sea level, Bengaluru enjoys a moderate climate compared to much of India. This elevation contributes to its reputation as a garden city, making it comfortable year-round. Travelers can expect pleasant weather conditions that facilitate outdoor exploration and sightseeing without the extreme heat found in other parts of the country.
