 Bangalore ShoppingThe city''s best buys are high-quality Indian silks, Lambani
tribal jewellery, and woodcarvings. The liveliest place to shop is
the MG Road and Brigade Road area, which contains a good mix of
traditional stores, souvenir outlets and more modern shops. For
mall shopping, and all the westernised boutique stores and fast
food outlets you might expect, head to Forum Mall on Hosur Road.
Bangalore Centre on MG Road and the department stores on Sampige
Road are also worth a look. For discount outlets and factory shops,
catch a taxi to Marathahalli Main Road. Looking for fake brands
like Nikey and Addidas? Make a beeline to the underground emporia
of Arihant Plaza, opposite the beginning of Commercial Street.
Don''t expect bargains in the high-rental shops - this is an
affluent city, with prices to match. One place you can haggle is,
of course, the markets, which are also the best place to find
Indian souvenirs and trinkets. City Market is mostly a local market
but has plenty of foodie gifts, and Majestic Market is packed with
cheap Bollywood and world cinema dvds, interesting curios and
keepsakes. |
