Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace

Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace is a wooden structure built in the late 18th century, originally serving as the summer retreat for the Sultan of Mysore. Its ornate arches and intricate floral patterns, rendered in vibrant lime plaster, reflect the Indo-Islamic architectural style, with much of the palace’s original grandeur still evident today. Plan an hour to explore the various rooms adorned with frescoes and antique furniture. The palace is located in the bustling area of Krishna Rajendra Market, making it a good starting point before heading to nearby attractions like the Bangalore Fort or the bustling MG Road. Look for the beautiful gardens that frame the entrance.
