Bengaluru has India's most vibrant craft beer scene — the city has over 30 microbreweries. The MG Road and Brigade Road area is the nightlife core, but the quieter Indiranagar and Koramangala neighbourhoods have the best restaurants and bars. Lalbagh Botanical Garden (240 acres) hosts a spectacular flower show twice a year (Republic Day and Independence Day) in its Victorian glass house — outside show season, it's the city's most peaceful escape from the traffic.
T-money cards work on all transit. Elders are given seats on public transport — always.
