Rail Museum
A must-see. Located behind the train station, this museum bears testimony to the stylish way in which the royals rode the railways in the past. The chief exhibit is the Mysore maharani’s saloon, a wood-panelled beauty dating from 1899. There are also five steam engines, each with its own story, and a sprinkling of instruments and memorabilia from the Indian Railways’ chequered past.

Mysore Palace
Among the grandest of India’s royal buildings, the fantastic Mysore Palace was the former seat of the Wodeyar maharajas. The old palace was gutted by fire in 1897; the one you see now was completed in 1912 by English architect Henry Irwin, at a cost of Rs4.5 million.
