Start your family trip by visiting the Somasila Dam, the iconic tourist spot in Somasila. The serene and scenic beauty of the Dam surrounded by hills attracts tourists and nature lovers. One can enjoy a boat ride in the deep blue waters and also spot several species of migratory birds during winters. After spending some quality time at the Dam, head to the Bramaramba Mallikarjuna Temple, located nearby. Considered one of the ancient Hindu temples, the temple has beautiful carvings and a peaceful ambiance.
On day 2, explore the Bhagavan Mahavir Government Museum which houses a unique collection of art, artifacts, sculptures, and antiques, depicting the rich cultural heritage of Vijayawada.

Post the museum visit, head to the Vijaya Kesari Art Gallery, located in the same premises. The art gallery displays multitudes of famous paintings and sculptures by various artists.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Sri Raja Rajeswari Temple, one of the oldest and most popular temples in Somasila. Alternatively, you can visit the Somasila Wildlife Sanctuary and explore the lush green forests, and diverse wildlife. If you have less time, you can skip the Bramaramba Mallikarjuna Temple or Vijaya Kesari Art Gallery.
