Start your city experience at Gandhi Hill, the first and foremost tourist spot in Vijayawada. A 50 feet tall Lord Gandhi statue welcomes you at this beautiful hilltop park. Take a ride on the ropeway and enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the city from the hilltop. The beautiful floral clock and the Gandhi Memorial Library are worth visiting.
Get ready for a day full of fun and adventure. Start your day with a visit to the Bhavani Island, a beautiful river island located on the Krishna River. Enjoy an array of water sports and activities like jet skiing, banana boat rides, kayaking, and more. After lunch, head to the Kondapalli Fort, a 14th-century hill fort with a mesmerising view of the lush green forest and ancient architecture.
Start the day with a visit to the renowned Kanaka Durga Temple dedicated to the goddess of power, health and wealth. Experience the rich spiritual traditions of Andhra at this beautiful temple situated on the banks of the Krishna River. After the temple, head towards the Rajiv Gandhi Park for a delightful evening under nature. Admire the lush green lawns, colourful flowers, and vibrant play areas with your family or friends.
Start the final day of your city experience with a visit to the historic rock-cut Undavalli Caves, carved out of solid sandstone on a hillside. The caves are a marvellous blend of a religious sanctuary and a monolithic structure built during the 4th-5th century AD. After Undavalli Caves, head to the Vijayawada Museum for a sneak peek into the rich cultural heritage of Vijayawada. The museum houses fine art, archeological, and ethnological collections from various eras.
If you have more time to spend, visit Mogalarajapuram Caves, Hazratbal Mosque, and Gunadala Matha Shrine. For a budget-friendly trip, skip the water sports at Bhavani Island and visit Rajiv Gandhi Park instead. If you are an early riser, visit Kanaka Durga Temple at dawn to witness the beautiful sunrise. Lastly, don't forget to carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes.
