A Guide to Tourist Places near Mysore Palace The South Indian city of Mysore is the fourth largest city in the state of Karnataka, and it is a pretty famous tourist destination. People who come to visit Bangalore, or Ooty never give Mysore a miss. These three places are somewhat like a package deal together. The city of Mysore is a contrast. In the pre independence times it was famous for its heritage structures, and princely kingdoms, while after independence it gradually moved ahead and became a hub of education as well as a great place for information technology and other multinational corporations to flourish and prosper.
This transformation and adaptability can be seen in its structures and architecture as well as development. Often the city is almost made synonymous to the Mysore Palace which is the largest palace in the city and a beautiful work of art if I may be allowed to say so. But if we look beyond the Mysore Palace and try and find more tourist places near Mysore Palace then we are sure to find a lot of other interesting places as well.
