Hyderabad, the city of Nizams, pearls, and home to the best biryani in India is a travel destination that you would not want to miss. The city can take you back to history with its rich cultural heritage and can bring you back to the present as it is a modern Indian city.
If Hyderabad is on your bucket list then here are some sites that you cannot miss to visit.
Charminar
I am sure that we have all seen Charminar in our textbooks but seeing it in real life is surreal. The medieval monument was built in the year 1591 and the four-pillared mosque has been sitting for 400 years.
Don’t forget to visit Laad Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in Hyderabad, and Chowmahalla Palace if you happen to visit Charminar.

If you like history then Falaknuma is a place that you should definitely visit or if you would like to experience loyalty.
