Unlike most of India's older cities, Bengaluru enjoys the advantage of strangers living and working and playing next to each other. the older cities tend to be a collection of colonies of like by like. that said, there is a sharp demarcation in the play modes between the haves and the have-nots. English is the, you should pardon the expression, lingua franca. shopping areas are brightly lit and visible to the wandering eye. the cosmopolitan play areas are a pricey blend of food, drink, and brand names, not conducive to bargain hunting. bargain hunting's entry port is the aptly yclept Commercial Street. Malls, of which there are many, can be easily spotted by the inevitable traffic jam in the the environs. sadly, the evening ends at 11, which can get in the way of a good blues jam, but, thankfully, music and alcohol are now permitted to date and there are many, easily accessible, (for the most part), bars and clubs with bands and musical styles for all tastes. All in all B'luru is not a difficult place for a stranger to be in.
enjoy.

Hi, We just returned from a short trip to Bangalore. For shopping consider Gandhi Nagar near Majestic and MG Road and it's cross lanes. We used ITDC for city site seeing and Mysore. Reliable and safe if you are single female traveler. Bangalore is expanding in all directions with huge construction activities. Also visit City Market, Avenue Road, Chickpet for buying textiles, jewellary etc. Don't forget to bargain hard.
