A nice looking building but certainly past its prime. The free audio guide is available in many languages and helps to explain the history of the building and the family. Exhibits are in a poor state.

Overall, it gives me mixed feelings. The inside is original and beautiful, but it looks like a mixture of a remake with something old. You can only walk along the corridors. The appearance from the outside is also not clear

You pay INR 480, and you will probably only spend less than an hour here. Although the entrance fee comes with an audio guide, I skipped it as I had my own local guide. It's probably worth to see to understand abit more about the Bangalore royal family, but that's it. You will only get to see 2 or 3 rooms and that's it. The Interior is not entirely well maintained and there isn't any fan or AC inside the palace. To me, i don't think AC is required, but at least there should have been fans in the interior to help with the air circulation. Also, the surrounding gardens are not really well maintained as well (pls don't get fooled by the images you see online). Overall, if the royalties go to the royal family, I feel that they should do more to help improve the visitor experience.

Bangalore Palace is historic but not well maintained. There is plenty to see including state rooms, private quarters, photographs, and furniture. The entry price of Rs.500 for foreigners is good value and includes a decent audio guide in a variety of languages, including English. Photography is not allowed in the palace and this is enforced by the security people. Outside the palace in the gardens lots of people were taking photos with their phones but a security guard came across to tell me to put my actual camera away in its bag as cameras weren’t allowed. Go figure. The palace is worth a visit, but not if you’re short of time.

Nice place to visit. It belongs to the Wadeyars. If you want to see from inside, it's ticket is 260 Rupees per person. Children below age 10 are free. You also get audio device which helps to understand different sections of the palace.
