Without a doubt, the Mysore Palace is the most spectacular building in the city and almost everything else revolved around it during the reign of the Wadiyar kings.

Spread across the city are many lesser known but equally beautiful royal buildings and heritage sites that once served the royal family. So once the inescapable visit to the palace is done, it is time to wander further afield to take in some of the other popular places to visit in Mysore.
