Overview

This walking tour connects many dots from the colonial history of Bangalore. It provides a glimpse of the British presence and discusses their contribution to the evolution of Modern Bangalore. The tour also showcases two of the most prominent public buildings of Bangalore, built in different eras, but presently overlooking each other. A walk through the Cubbon park can be very refreshing and has promptly contributed to Bangalore earning the sobriquet "Garden City of India". The variety of flora adds to the charm of the walk through the Cubbon park. A visit to the Government Museum brings to life the artistic achievements from the ancient dynasties of Hoysala, Vijayanagara, Chalukya, Gangas, Cholas, etc. The museum is also home to many relics from the neolithic and megalithic remains from Karnataka. If you are not really going to visit the temples of Belur, Halebid, Hampi, Mysore, etc., a visit to this museum can be a good replacement.

What To Expect

St. Mark's Cathedral

From the meeting point, which is the Bible Society of India, we walk and visit the St. Mark's Cathedral which is a hop away. St. Mark's Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist, is noted for its English Baroque architecture and inspired by the 17th century St Paul's Cathedral of London. Built initially in 1812 but went through massive reconstruction 1927 because of a major fire which broke out in 1923. One of the important possessions of the Cathedral is the pipe organ which was installed as a gift by Avis F Cowdrey of the Cowdrey family (father of former English Cricket Captain Colin Cowdrey), in memory of his parents in 1929.
From here, we walk to the Statue of Queen Victoria which takes around 5 minutes.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

The Statue of Queen Victoria is located at one of the entrances of Cubbon Park. The statue was unveiled on 5 February 1906 by the then Prince of Wales, the future King George V. The statue was raised out of funds raised by the residents of the Bangalore Civil and Military Station and contributions made by Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore. This Statue of Queen Victoria is one of the five of the original 50 statues of Queen Victoria which were installed in British India, to still stand at its original location.
From here we walk inside the Cubbon park, parallel to the Queen's road for about 10 minutes.
