MARKETS TOUR

This tour takes one through Bengaluru two famous iconic structured markets - Russell Market & City (KR) Market. 

Russell Market 

Under the belly of blackpally!

Fresh produce, vibrant bazaars and their numerous crisscross lanes, a medley of exotic and native fruits and vegetables on display, coupled with century old tales - this trail is a mix of both the young and the old markets of Bangalore.
The Russell Market came up as a bazaar for the Europeans and was the place for exotic vegetables, fruits and meat. This market is famous for its dates, fresh fruits and vegetables. But these are just the icing to the cake. There's much more to explore in and around this market - the hidden bylanes, the local eateries, the various wares - to name a few.
​Russell Market is one of the oldest structured markets in Bangalore with sections for fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry.  The area has an old world charm to it and comes complete with sights, sounds and smells of a typical asian bazaar - diverse faiths, traffic, colourful wares and very busy. It is also a foodie's delight with kebabs, quails, mutton samosas, sulaimani chai, plum cakes and biryani. 

City (KR) Market. 

Guns and Roses: The story of the City's Market
