The iconic Charminar monument is a must-visit spot in Hyderabad. Built in 1591, Charminar translates to 'Four Towers,' which signifies the four arches and minarets. Visitors can climb up one of the towers for beautiful panoramic views of the city. The market around Charminar is also famous for bangles and pearls.
Prepare to be blown away by Ramoji Film City, the world's largest integrated film studio complex. Take a studio tour, watch live film shooting, attend a dance workshop, dine at themed restaurants, and enjoy an evening carnival extravaganza.
The world's largest one-man collection of artifacts, the Salar Jung Museum, houses over 1 million fascinating works of art, dating back to the 1st century. See 'Mephistopheles and Margareta,' the statue by Ferdinand Preiss, the Veiled Rebecca, and Clock Collection. Afterwards, take a serene walk around the Hussain Sagar Lake.
To extend the itinerary to 4 days, add Golconda Fort and Lumbini Park. For a shorter itinerary or for families with young children, consider skipping Ramoji Film City, which takes up a large part of the day. Alternatively, if your family is into history, swap Ramoji for the Chowmahalla Palace.
