The best way to exchange currency is in special exchange offices or banks. While exchanging currency, you should take into consideration not only current exchange rate, but also the amount of the commission charged.
Import and export of the local currency is strictly prohibited. You should also not forget to declare cash if the sum of money you have exceeds 10,000 U.S. dollars.
Despite the fact that Bangalore is considered quite a quiet city, travelers are not recommended to go to its remote areas alone. Tourists will also need to be careful in crowded places, markets and public transport as they have an opportunity to become a victim of pickpockets.
Visitors should not forget that the locals have great respect towards various religious customs. Travelers should also show respect to the rules set in the city. Above all this concerns clothing, which should be as closed and neutral as possible. You also are not recommended to behave noisily in the streets and in the public places of the city. Drinking alcohol is allowed in restaurants and bars only.
