Create an itinerary including Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace
Once the summer residence of Mysorean ruler Tipu Sultan, Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace stands as a shining example of Indo-Islamic architecture built entirely of teak. As you wander the complex, keep an eye out for floral motifs embellished on the walls, a painting of the grand throne as imagined by Tipu Sultan, and the eastern and western balconies from which Tipu Sultan would conduct court. On the ground floor, browse the small museum depicting Tipu Sultan's achievements, featuring an exhibition of his clothes and crown displayed on silver and gold pedestals. Art lovers may also be interested in works by James Hunter, who sketched various landscapes of South India, displayed in the palace. Using our international travel planner, Bengaluru attractions like Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

    Wooden architecture is splendid. Renovation is taking place. Some of the area is restricted. It takes only about 15-20 minutes to see the complete building. Entrance is fee is 20 rupees. Have to pay online. Not wheelchair accessible ♿🚫 Drinking water and washroom facility is available. Wasn't crowded that much.
  • By Sandeep Sankabattula
    No physical ticket are given , we need to scan a Qr code at entry gate. which takes us to the website, there we need to enter our names, if there are group of people need to click on Add Adult and enter all names and one govt ID is required to be entered. Entry fee is rs 20/- of Indians and rs 250/- for foreigners. It doesn't take much time to go around. Well maintained place. Worth a visit 👍
