Shop-your-heart-out experiences

Start your shopping adventure from the 100ft Road, a stone’s throw away from The Leela Palace Bengaluru, where international, national and local brands come together, making it a shopaholic’s paradise. For a more traditional trail, venture into Commercial Street, a chaotic but colourful street where your bargaining skills can get you some jaw-dropping deals.

Another local experience quite unlike any other is the flower market at Russel Market. Try to visit during the early hours of the day to capture the sights and smells of the fiery blossoms that show up here.
