Bangalore is one of India's most attractive cities with beautiful parks, avenues and impressive buildings. Parts of the city are amongst the most modern and westernised areas of India, replete with modern shopping malls, bars and fast food restaurants.

Recently, Bangalore has developed into an important economic centre, particularly in the field of software and information technology and it is therefore called the Silicon Valley of India.
