Things To Do
Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad
Would recommend booking a table for dinner at Gol Bungalow, which is an outdoor restaurant with pretty views of the city. Make sure to catch the palace tour before dinner (or high tea)!
Charminar
A historically and religiously significant monument built in 1591 and located in the older party of the city. The Laad Bazaar is a popular spot here, known for colorful bangles and traditional jewelry. When in this area, also consider visiting the nearby Chowmahalla Palace. Tip: Taj Falaknuma is close-ish to Charminar, so we would recommend clubbing the two for a visit.
Golconda Fort
A fort with origins tracing back to the 11th century and, historically, popular for diamond trading. The Koh-i-noor (a 191 carat diamond!) is believed to have been mined in the diamond mines near Golconda. We recommend booking a tour!
Biryani
Hyderabad is famous for its biryani, and some of the popular restaurants are Paradise Biryani, Sarvi, Hotel Shadab, Bawarchi and Shah Ghouse. Some of these restaurants are also available for delivery on Swiggy or Zomato (local food delivery apps)!
