Ask a local from Pune about the best place to visit to explore the city’s nightlife and chances are they will say Koregaon Park. Also known as KP, Koregaon is home to some of the best restaurants and pubs in Pune including the popular German Bakery. We spent our time exploring this side of the city and were pleasantly surprised with the easy and cheerful vibe of the area.
