lalbagh , malleshwaram temple complex , vidhana soudha , high court , tipu & bangalore palace , markets like Russell , sampige , Gandhi bazaar or head to bannerghata for safari ride and some wild life photography .
If non of the above excites you .
Deck up and take selfie s

Hit a alfresco restaurant / bistro/ resto bar .
Awkward doin it alone ? 
Carry you phone , tablet,lappy , book etc
