One of the main roads of the city, MG Road or Mahatma Ghandi road was titled the ‘South Parade’ during British Rule. With the Metro main train station starting here, this gives you an idea on how the road is one of Bangalore’s pride and joy. This long road is dotted with stores, offices, cafes, pubs and restaurants on one side and with the 22 acre Parade grounds on the other. Military Bands perform every fortnight and the grounds also boasts a park, which offers a green escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
