Bangalore information

Bangalore, also known as Bengaluru, is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka and is the country's third most populous city. Etihad’s flights to Bangalore are expected to boost the city’s position as the international gateway to the South of India.

Over the past decade, Bangalore has transformed itself into a modern cosmopolitan city and thriving economic hub. Situated in the heart of the Mysore Plateau, Bangalore’s recent phenomenal growth has been propelled by the city’s IT sector. Thousands of young Indian professionals have flocked to the city for newly created jobs and the city’s new-found wealth has led to a rapid increase in hotels, restaurants, bars and shops.

Underneath this modern veneer, Bangalore’s cultural heritage is still strong, offering much to do for those seeking a taste of traditional Karnataka life. Be sure to plan your itinerary well before taking any flights to Bangalore as there is much to see and do.
