New places to see in Bangalore: what to add to your list
Why it belongs on a list of new things to see
Most Bangalore lists repeat the same classics. The aquarium gives you something different in the middle of the city:
- A walk-through underwater tunnel with fish all around.
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls, popular for photos.
- Indoor man-made waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge.
- A daily fish-feeding by an expert diver at 6:30 PM.
- What we call India's first ocean restaurant.
Pair it with the classics
A first-time visitor can mix new and old in one day:
- Bangalore Palace: close to Palace Grounds. Check their current fees.
- Cubbon Park and Vidhana Soudha: green space and the city's best-known government building.
- Lalbagh Botanical Garden: for a morning walk.
- Malleswaram: old Bangalore streets and food.
