An Indian palace with the feel of Buckingham palace! The audio tour is must it's free and quite informative. A good place to visit a bit out of the way though 😕. Should take around 1-1½hr.

Unfortunately, the Bangalore Palace is not something I would recommend. Firstly, the entry fee is very high compared to other similar points of interest. Then no photography was allowed inside. There was very little architectural grandeur that you can see in other palaces. It was a haphazard collection of old photos still in their old frames, old furniture which were quite ordinary and some sarees just hung in closed cabinets. The outside grounds are nice as is the building facade but that’s about all worth seeing.

Visited palace as it came recommended. Entry fee is higher than humayums tomb and qutub minar fees so my expectations were higher. It’s well kept but photography is strictly prohibited. Do take the audio tour but you need to give aadhar card so no one steals the audio devices. Lots of family history and artifacts on display and also showcases the grandeur it held when fully functional. You can take a lot of pictures outside. Took me around an hour to see everything.

The part of the inside of palace has been converted into museum & some part is retained still by the king for their stay. And hence, random parts of the palace with random items have been kept for public viewing. The ticket price includes audio guide, which can be a little helpful in understanding the random placements. The main attraction is outside the palace, which provides an opportunity to click some good photos.

So the trick is that you have to pay the entry fees to get this palace in the backdrop of your photos. Beautiful from outside and that's it. Pay INR 250 to get the entry in the premises, else stay outside fences and keep grimming. For those who have been to Windsor palace, this is a miniature. For the entry fees you're given a free audio tour and worth If you've been to the mysore palace before, for all the history lovers it can be a good treat. audio is available in different languages. No photography inside the palace.

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.

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.
