Lal Bagh Gardens
Lal Bagh is a must see while visiting Bangalore. The name Lal Bagh has been given to it for the wonderfully bloomed red roses that remain blooming all through the year in this garden. The garden has also a collection of famous Botanical species. Though the flow of visitors to the park is a regular affair, the garden gets a festive look during the Republic Day and on the days of flower shows that are held here.
Vidhan Soudha
Vidhan Soudha, built in the year 1954 is one of the major centres of attraction in Bangalore.

The palace and the fort of Tipu Sultan are the must see spot in Bangalore. The architecture, the layout and the overall look of the palace gives you the idea of the ethnic Mughal lifestyle. The fort and its remains present the history of the era in which it was built. The construction of the Tipu palace was started by Haider Ali and completed by Tipu Sultan himself.
ISKCON
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON Temple Complex of Bangalore is a marvellous building structure that has blended the Dravidian and modern architecture in its construction.

The entire area gives you a clear picture of the mythological legend related to it.
Bull temple
The Bull Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva's Vahana (vehicle), Nandi the bull. Here you can find a huge monolithic statue of the sitting bull that draws a large number of people to this place every day. The statue is 4.5 meters tall and 6 meters long and has been at this place long before the present temple was built.
Aquarium
The sight of the Aquarium, which is the second largest in the country, is quite fascinating. Built in a well-planned manner, the Aquarium has a good collection of a variety of aquatic life. The Aquarium remains closed on Mondays.

Elephante Island was great! I just got back. If you have little kids, this trip might not be the best, as there is quite a long walk to the top of the mountain where the Hindu temples are. There are shops lining the walk up, but the shop keepers were nice and weren't forcing their goods on us. Things to look out for if you go: - if you hire a local tour guide, but make sure you nail the price down. Ours quoted one price, then changed it on us at the end. - The boat ride was 125Ru (I think), there was a 5Ru "tax" to get on the island, and a 250Ru entrance fee. - There are monkeys on the island. Make sure the kids don't have any food on them, as the monkeys can get quite agressive if they see food. I saw them swipe a bunch of bananas from a fellow tourist's bag. Obviously, don't touch the monkeys, as you have no idea what kind of disease they could be carrying. We took a morning boat and were back at the Gateway of India by 4pm - it was a good half-day trip.
