Mangalore rewards slow exploration. St. Aloysius Chapel is the showpiece, with its extraordinary frescoed walls and ceiling. The old Bunder port area is the most atmospheric part of the city — go in the early morning when the fish market is at its liveliest and fishing boats are returning. The Kudroli Bhagavathi Temple is the city's most vibrant Hindu site, and the quieter Kalikamba Temple near Lower Car Street has a long history. The Pilikula Nisargadhama complex outside town is worth an afternoon for its zoo, botanical garden, and planetarium.
