UB City

With the opening of The Collection, UB City in Bangalore, a shopping trip to Europe, which is something that most Indian luxuriates were required to do to prime up their lifestyle, has become irrelevant. The luxury retail market in India, has suddenly taken a radical turn for the better. The city's most famous landmark, UB City - built jointly by Dr. Vijay Mallya & the Prestige Group has seized the opulence of the Indian market in a significant way.

Cubbon Park

Cubbon Park dons many hats: a green lung in the heart of the city that also hosts a library, museums, a tennis academy, an aquarium, a toy train and many statues and pavilions. It’s probably one of the only parks to have a busy road cutting through it. In the wee hours of the morning or evenings, it’s a jogger’s paradise. Spring adds to the beauty of this park, with the lovely and colorful Tabebuia trees in full bloom.

Reviewed By _lightgodess - Bengaluru, India

Cubbon Park is known for it's lush greenery in the center of the city, but it's also very well connected with a metro station adjoining one of the entrances and ample parking available as well. Different sections of the park are suitable for different activities- you can have a picnic by the Victoria statue, play games with family and friends near the rock formations or enjoy swings and the toy train inside the main park premises. On Sundays, you can rent a cycle and take a leisurely journey or join small groups of Bangaloreans reading poetry, doing yoga, learning photography or other fun activities. For the foodies, Cubbon park has tender coconut water, fresh corn, and is walking distance to Koshys or Church Street Social, depending on the kind of breakfast you prefer. It's an ideal place to take a book to read,or to take a quick nap and enjoy the lovely Bangalore weather.
