MG Road and Brigade Road

by narayanang76

If you are in Bangalore dont forget to be at MG Road and Brigade Road at least once. Both these roads are pass by, actually they are perpendicular roads. Best place to be on Shopping, eat out, and spend late evenings. But the whole city goes to sleep by 11.00 PM, that is a law imposed by the police to avoid some underworld problems a few years before. Commercial Street is also a Mecca for shoppers. I dont suggest you to go to Majestic, the hub of Bangalore, its dirty and the last place to be in bangalore. Also try to see the ITPL, the International Technology Park Ltd, which is home for IT Software Companies.
