About
Erstwhile South Parade is Bangalore’s shopping and entertainment hub, along with nearby Brigade Road, Church Street and Commercial Street. Old-timers reminisce fondly about the grand avenue this once was. Many old landmarks have been torn down to make way for characterless glass buildings. The metro running over the road proved to be the proverbial nail in the coffin for MG Road’s beauty. Thankfully, some of the vibe still survives. Walk along and enjoy a few gems that survived the massacre.

Top ways to experience Mahatma Gandhi (MG) Road and nearby attractions

The area
Neighbourhood: MG Road
One of the most popular shopping, entertainment & business hubs of Bangalore that beautifully binds the old world charm of the British era with the modern cosmopolitan vibes is MG Road. It is one of the busiest main streets of the Bangalore Cantonment connected to its larger family of colonial streets that spread through the city, sprinkled with the charm of oldest buildings and churches. From hopping across cafes, restaurants and the oldest pubs & clubs of Bangalore near Church Street to street shopping at Brigade Road to surfing through best book deals at Blossom, MG Road is a convenient getaway for all locals who just want to chill. The evenings near M.G. Road are incomplete without a stop at U.B. City on Vittal Mallya Road for the swankiest nightlife with some of the best rooftop views of the city.

MG Road in Bengaluru is just like any other street in any of the top cities. The street is filled with various shops & restaurants. It also offers option for street shopping & road side gol gappas. It is a big street and going through a lot of shops would be time consuming. But as a tourist, good for a night walk and some street side shopping.

A combination of cosmopolitan look of metros and flyovers with old world charm of British era makes it easily one of the most frequented place.

M.G. Road visit combined with Herbalife office visit

This visit was planned in order to visit the Herbalife office. One of my favourite places in Bengaluru due to the availability of various shopping malls as well as fantastic eateries around it

So busy, so many people! We saw amazing dresses from 90000 rupee to 1500. Put on your runners as the road and streets are uneven and not safe
