Commercial Street is filled with the hustle bustle of vendors selling clothes, jewellery and accessories at a very cheap price. It is like Lajpat Nagar or Sarojini Market in New Delhi. If you are a fashionista but do not want to shop without burning a hole in your pocket, this market is a must-explore one.
You can also find athleisure and technical equipment in a few lanes of the market. So if you plan to go shopping here, take a water bottle and an extra large bag with you because you are going to need them as you rummage through the market.
MG Road
MG Road is the heart of the city as Bengulur’s nightlife is here. The place is filled with beautiful cafes, excellent restaurants, exquisite live bars, pubs, boutiques and many other stores that are all worth checking out. You say party, hangout or clubbing, MG Road is your destination.
It is also the one-stop for purchasing silk sarees that are the pride of Karnataka. Women often prefer to pick traditional clothes for weddings or festivals from here. There is a wide range of sarees and suits that you can buy to amp up your wardrobe.

There are more than 1,200 stalls for you to explore. From rustic home decor pieces to alluring dinner sets, you have no idea what you can find here at a very pocket-friendly price.
