Getting there & around

From the airport

Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) is the main airport, about 35-40 km north of central Bengaluru. For first arrivals, app/airport taxis are simplest: allow 60-120 minutes to MG Road or Majestic depending on traffic. BMTC Vayu Vajra airport buses run to major areas such as Majestic, MG Road/Indiranagar, Whitefield and Electronic City; allow roughly 70-120 minutes. Limited suburban trains stop at KIA Halt with a terminal shuttle, but schedules are sparse, so treat this as a planned daytime option. There is no passenger metro from the airport to the city as of this date.

Around the city

Use Namma Metro when possible: Purple Line is useful for MG Road, Indiranagar and Whitefield; Green Line serves north-south areas around Majestic, Lalbagh and Jayanagar; Yellow Line serves the south tech corridor if operating on your exact date. For a short visit, buy QR tickets in the Namma Metro app or at stations; get the rechargeable metro smart card if you will ride often. BMTC buses fill gaps but can be slow in traffic. Autos and app cabs are practical for last-mile trips; avoid tight cross-city plans during peak hours and choose hotels near your meetings or a metro station.

Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

The historic Pete district retains remnants of the mud fort established by Kempe Gowda I in 1537, ideal for travelers seeking cultural immersion. Conversely, the Cantonment area features British-era infrastructure and better connectivity, making it preferable for business travelers and those prioritizing comfort and convenience.

Getting Around

The city comprises two distinct urban settlements: the old Pete and the new Cantonment. Given the large population, using local taxis or ride-hailing services is recommended. Most hotels are concentrated in the Cantonment area, providing easy access to major attractions and commercial centers while helping guests avoid peak-hour traffic congestion.

Best Season

Thanks to its altitude of 900 meters, Bengaluru enjoys a relatively mild climate year-round, earning it the title 'Garden City.' Unlike other hot regions in India, it is suitable for visits throughout the year. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather, making them ideal times to explore its numerous parks and historical sites.
