Two Days in Hyderabad, July 2023

  1. Day 1: Charminar
    25 minutes (5.3 miles) from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport

    Charminar is an iconic monument located in the heart of the old city. Built in 1591 by Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, it is a great example of Cazia style of architecture. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat. Afterward, enjoy a delicious breakfast of Osmania biscuits and Irani chai at Nimrah Cafe and Bakery. In the afternoon, head to the Chowmahalla Palace, once the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty. End the day at the Qutb Shahi Tombs, a group of majestic mausoleums of the seven Qutub Shahi rulers, located on the outskirts of the city.

  2. Day 2: Golconda Fort
    30 minutes (11.9 miles) from Charminar

    Start your day at the ancient and historic Golconda Fort, known for its acoustic design and engineering marvels. Afterward, head to the Salar Jung Museum, which houses a vast collection of art, sculptures and antiques from all over the world. In the evening, visit the Hussain Sagar Lake, a heart-shaped lake, to enjoy a beautiful sunset and a boating experience. End the day at the Lumbini Park, famous for its musical fountain show.

Recommendations

Don't miss out on the delicious street food in Hyderabad, such as biryani, kebabs, and haleem. Also, consider visiting the Ramoji Film City, the largest film studio complex in the world, or the Nehru Zoological Park, which is home to over 1,500 species of animals.
