A landmark public garden in central Hubballi built around a glass-house pavilion that hosts flower shows and civic events — a green heart of the city amid the market streets.

The marquee monument of the district — an 11th–12th-century Western Chalukya temple in black granite at Unkal on the bank of Unkal Lake, a sandhara square-cross-plan temple and an ASI Monument of National Importance.

A large urban lake of about 200 acres at Unkal in Hubballi, with a Vivekananda statue on an islet, boating, a lakeside walkway and gardens — a favourite evening spot of the twin city.

An ASI-protected Chalukya Shakti temple at Amargol near Hubballi — a dvikuta (twin-shrine) temple of the goddess Banashankari, with the adjacent Chalukya Sankaralinga temple nearby. (Distinct from the Banashankari temple of Badami in Bagalkot.)

A large modern Jain temple complex (Navagraha Teerth) near Varur south of Hubballi, known for its tall monolithic Bhagwan Parshwanath and Bahubali statues — a major Jain pilgrimage and a striking landmark on the highway.

A popular Hanuman (Anjaneya) temple on the bank of Nuggikeri Lake on the Dharwad–Kalghatgi road — a busy local pilgrimage that pairs with the lakeside setting.

A seminal 1050 CE Kalyani Chalukya temple at Annigeri — the first built in soapstone and, with its seventy-six pillars, the prototype for the great Itagi Mahadeva temple; Annigeri is also the birthplace of the Kannada poet Adikavi Pampa.

The town of Navalgund, famous for its GI-tagged jamkhana durries — flat-woven cotton carpets made by hand on an upright loom, a living craft tradition of the district.
