Markets
Central Bangalore, (the M G Road, Brigade Road and Commercial Street area taken together), is a great place where one could wander, or shop. While you
are shopping, you may want to try the local, absolutely safe roasted nuts and corn. In local parlance, this activity is called "time pass."
Apart from the ones mentioned, there are a few market areas, wholesale districts that make wandering more interesting.
Russel Market:
Shivajinagar, 0700-2100 Open daily.
A colonial vegetable and meat market also features shops around it, which sell antiques and bric- a-brac.
City Market:
The Chickpet area is an old wholesale bazaar that offers all sorts of shops including the country’s biggest silk wholesale / retail district.
A word of caution: Please be aware of the crowd and your surroundings.
