Uncover the best things to do in Mysuru, like touring Mysuru Palace

Situated in the center of the city, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Mysore sits adjacent to exciting things to do, like cheering on the drivers at Mysore Race Club and making your way around the links at Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club. If you prefer a more low-key diversion, catch a movie at Inox Cinemas in the neighboring Mall of Mysore. History and cultural buffs can visit area treasures like Jaganmohan Palace, the revered Chamundeshwari Temple with its 1,000-step staircase, and the Mughal-inspired Brindavan Gardens. Mysuru Zoo, considered one of the best family-friendly activities in the city, is just steps from your room or suite. Want to try something you can’t do anywhere else? Spend an afternoon shopping for silk sarees at one of the city’s markets, or schedule a guided day trip to Bandipur Tiger Reserve.
