Brigade Road, Road and shopping hub in central Bangalore
Brigade Road is a shopping street in Bangalore where stores line both sides with everything from international brands to local retailers. The road runs through the central commercial area with regular pedestrian flow and vehicle traffic during busy hours.
Brigade Road developed during the British colonial period as part of Bangalore's urban planning. It became an important trading route and has remained the city's shopping hub since then.
Visit on weekday mornings or late afternoons to avoid heavy crowds that build up during midday and evening hours. The sidewalks can be narrow so stay aware of vehicles and keep your belongings secure.
The street is also known for its colonial-era architecture that has been preserved between the modern shops. This mix makes it a place where old and new Bangalore coexist side by side.
