Cubbon Park (Sri Chamarajendra Park)
Roughly 300-acre park laid out in 1870 in the city centre, with 6,000+ trees, the red Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall (State Central Library) and the 1864 Attara Kacheri (Karnataka High Court) at its edge.
Why it’s worth it
Free entry and early-morning vehicle restrictions make it the city centre's go-to walk, with heritage buildings like the State Central Library inside the park.
