  Bangalore is India's fifth largest city. With nicknames like "India's Silicon Valley," "the fashion capital of India," "the pub city of India" and "the garden city," it's as rich a mix as a delicious curry. Founded in the 16th century and now Asia's fastest growing city, it is where the ancient and modern worlds meet. As an industrial, technological and scientific powerhouse, the city sees many business travelers. Finding a hotel is not difficult, but they are all a fair distance from the airport, so leave time for the ride.
