Do you have just one day in Bangalore? Don’t stress! I am here to give you Bangalore one day itinerary, so you can make most use of the time you have in this amazingly beautiful city.
Bangalore, my home, is a city located in the southern part of India in the state of Karnataka. There are plenty of things to do in and around Bangalore. Known as a city of lakes and gardens, there are plenty of things to explore in the city.
Even before I get into the one-day itinerary, I would like to mention that one day to explore this beautiful city is less than one.

Bangalore one day itinerary
Morning – CTR, Bangalore Palace
In the morning, start your day by having a delicious and authentic breakfast at Shri Sagar/Central Tiffin Room (CTR), located in the Malleshwaram area. Definitely try out their masala doses, which are a treat, with filter coffee. This is one of the locals’ most favourite breakfast joints (or darshinis).
- Timings: Open every day between 7 AM and 12:30 PM and between 4 PM and 9:30 PM.

Afternoon – Nagarjuna, Vidhana Soudha, Cubbon Park
For lunch, head to Nagarjuna, located near Brigade Road, to enjoy the authentic Andhra-style biryani and chicken roast. Don’t forget the buttermilk! If you are a vegetarian, then enjoy your lunch at Pakashala in Malleshwaram before heading to Vidhana Soudha.
- Timings: Open every day between 12 PM and 4 PM, and between 7 PM and 10:45 PM.
The next on the list must be to stop by the Vidhana Soudha. It is a massive architectural marvel. It is the seat of the state legislature of the state of Karnataka and was completed in 1956. Take a stroll from Vidhana Soudha to Cubbon Park.

Cubbon Park is a large public park in the city with abundant flora and fauna. Established in 1870, Cubbon Park is also home to iconic landmarks and statues of famous personalities.

Evening – Bull temple/Dodda Ganesha temple, Thindi Beedi
A visit to Bangalore will not be complete without visiting the marvellous temples located around the city. You can visit the Bull Temple or Dodda Ganesha Temple, which are both ancient and historical temples. If you do not visit temples, then from Cubbon Park, either head to Mahatma Gandhi (MG) Road or Commercial Street to shop.
