|  Though a modern, bustling city and an important industrial center, Bangalore remains one of India's charming cities. Situated 920 meters above sea level and with a very pleasant climate, it is a city studded with beautiful laid out parks and gardens, wide tree-lined avenues, imposing buildings and lively bazaars. Whichever direction you look in, the only thing visible is the greenery dotting the landscape of Bangalore, earning the sobriquet of Garden City. This is a city for the romantics, the poets, the dreamers, the honeymooners and their likes. People come here for relaxing and taking a break; no doubt it was also called the pensioner's paradise. The spectacular growth of Bangalore has made it one of the best places to live for foodies. You can enjoy the local culture with a dash of fast city life. However, since local entrepreneurs and the technology giant Texas Instruments discovered its potential as a high-tech city in the early 1980s, Bangalore has seen a major technology boom. It is now home to more than 250 high-tech companies including homegrown giants like Wipro and Infosys. Bangalore has earned a new name for itself 'Silicon Valley' of India. Today, it is India's 5th largest city, the momentum of its industrial and commercial growth unequalled in the country.
