Start your Hyderabad trip by visiting the iconic Charminar, which is also a symbol of the city. Constructed in the 16th century, Charminar has been attracting visitors for centuries. The monument is surrounded by markets which offer everything from pearls to traditional clothes, bangles, and haleem. After your visit to Charminar, head to the Laad Bazaar, to shop and relish the widely known Irani chai and Osmania biscuits. End the day with a visit to the Golconda Fort, which is beautifully lit in the evening.
Start your day by visiting the famous Ramoji Film City, one of the world's largest film studios. Here you can take a tour to explore the extensive film sets, shows, and performances along with shopping and dining. Afterward, head to the Salar Jung Museum, one of the three National Museums of India, to witness the collection of art, sculptures, textiles, and manuscripts that date back to the 1st century. End your day by having dinner at Paradise Biriyani, the most famous place for Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, which is worth the hype.
Spend your last day in Hyderabad exploring the Nehru Zoological Park, which is home to various wild animals such as tigers, lions, elephants along with native species like the Indian Rhino. Afterward visit the iconic Hussain Sagar Lake, best known for its giant monolithic statue of Gautam Buddha. Here you can enjoy the boat ride and the pleasant view of the lake. End your trip with a visit to Lumbini Park, where you can witness the famed musical fountain show, and kids can enjoy the park's play area.
Hyderabad has many other places to visit, like the Chowmahalla Palace, Birla Mandir, Qutub Shahi Tombs, and more. Visitors who wish to explore more can extend their stay in the city. If you have less time, skip the Ramoji Film City tour as it takes almost a day to explore. If you have more time, you can add a day trip to the nearby town of Warangal, where you can visit the magnificent Warangal Fort, Thousand Pillar Temple, and Ramappa Temple, all of which should not be missed.
