parks, gardens and malls, top quality infrastructure and highly efficient services. When talking about the best places to visit in Bangalore, one name appears over and over, and that’s VR Bengaluru Mall. Although, ‘mall’ will be a misnomer for this beautiful integrated commercial space that has it all, retail outlets, office space, entertainment facilities, all sorts of dining options from street food to fine dining, and most of all the place to stay, hotel rooms and studio apartments, which set it apart from any mall you’ve ever been in or heard of.

VR Bengaluru is named ‘mall’ as it is the ace among shopping malls in Bangalore, carrying a huge number of national and international brands to shop in. Fashion clothing to footwear, bags to accessories, jewellery to make up, VR Bengaluru has it all. It also carries huge stores for daily need goods and grocery along with home decor and furnishing items. And when you feel like taking a break, you have many F&B options to relax and enhance your energy levels. These options include coffee places; shake shacks, outlets for all types of cuisines and for a better and more sophisticated experience, fine dining options.

Besides these, it also has many entertainment joints where you can enjoy the latest movie or an adrenaline packed game in the fun city. For kids, there are more magical spaces, called the magic garden (play space for toddlers and small kids) and the magic circle (carousel). For adults, it has more advanced play pens, like the rooftop pool area and the garden space in the campus with ‘I love BLR’ signage in red, where you can spend time with your friends and loved ones, making it the ruler of fun places in Bangalore. It makes everything fun, shopping dining, work, play, entertainment, and just spending time outdoors.

And when talking about fun, we can’t miss the boutique hotel rooms which are designed in the colonial style to give your stay another dimension. Living inside a mall is the dream of kids we see in Hollywood movies like Big Fat Liar, but it is actually true at VR Bengaluru, where you get to stay in this mall, making it a perfect place for a staycation, especially on the weekend.

VR Bengaluru, fondly called as the Black Box on Whitefield, has gained a reputation for being the most amazing mall ever, dissipating experiences to its visitors like never seen before, and that’s what makes it really special and successful also… a must visit place when you are in Bangalore.
