How busy is Bangalore Palace?
Bangalore Palace, modelled on Windsor Castle, is one of the city's best-known sights. The ticket counter can have a queue on weekends, and the rooms that are open get busy with groups. Several recent reviewers note that many rooms are closed, so expect a fairly short visit.
