Places to visit in Hyderabad: Architecture

Charminar is perhaps one of the most popular places to visit in  Hyderabad for its architectural brilliance and historical importance. Located in the old city, Charminar was built by Sultan Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah and was dedicated to his wife. With four pillars or minarets, the Charminar is the centre of attraction in this busy bazaar, especially in the evenings and on Fridays. One can take a tour of Charminar by paying a nominal fee of Rs.5.

It’s best to combine a visit to Charminar with a tour of the popular Laad bazaar. Standing in the midst of busy roads and a bustling market, one is forced to admire the seamless coming together of heritage with development. If you are looking for good lighting to try your hand at photography, we recommend heading here as the sun is setting for mesmerising views of the monument. 

Chowmahalla Palace

One of the top places to visit in Hyderabad, Chowmahalla Palace literally translates to ‘four palaces’. A stunning piece of architecture, it was built in the 18th century. Sprawling across 12 acres, the palace is known for its stunning design and craftsmanship. There are two courtyards which have separate palaces within them.

The southern courtyard is home to four palaces and they are the main attractions here for travellers from across the country. One must not miss a tour of Aftab Mahal which is one of the biggest palaces here and is also the most visited.

Everything from the facade, domes, entrances, arches to the hallways, clock tower and council hall speak of intricate design and if you are an architecture lover, you’ll be pleased with yourself for including this wonder in your list of the best places to visit in Hyderabad. We recommend heading here in the morning to avoid the tourist rush and also to ensure that you have ample time to explore this beauty. 

Golkonda Fort

Situated 11km away from the city, Golkonda Fort is one of the most architecturally delightful places to visit in Hyderabad. The fort dates back to the 1600s and has always been the centre of attraction. One of the reasons that the fort is on the list of best places to visit in Hyderabad is because it’s said that the world-famous Koh-i-Noor diamond was stored here.

It’s said that the mines here are known to produce some of the most popular and rare gems including the Darya-i-Noor, the Hope Diamond and of course the famous Koh-i-Noor. If you are heading here during the day, we recommend keeping aside three to fours hours since time seems to pass quickly when one is admiring the fort’s brilliant architecture. Another recommendation would be to head here in the evening when you can admire the breathtaking light and sound show which takes place every day. A big reason that this beautiful fort is one of the most popular places to visit in Hyderabad is because the show is recorded in Amitabh Bachchan's voice. Taking one through the fort’s cultural past, it should definitely be part of all Hyderabad itineraries. 

Qutub Shahi Tombs

One of the oldest monuments in Hyderabad, Qutub Shahi Tombs is counted among the most popular places to visit in Hyderabad. With seven tombs of Qutub Shahi rulers, the tombs have elements of Indian and Persian architecture and are a delight for architectural buffs. The sight of these grand tombs under the blue skies is definitely a view you shouldn’t miss.

All tombs support intricate designs and are built using primarily grey granite. The garden surrounding the tombs is among the most popular places to visit in Hyderabad, especially for nature lovers. In fact, locals often come here with picnic baskets to settle in for a lavish picnic. The Qutub Shahi Tombs also serve as the venue for Deccan Festival which is organised by the state. If you are in the city during this time, you must not miss the opportunity to enjoy cultural shows highlighting the art and culture of the city.

Built by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the mosque was finally completed in the year 1694. Counted among the four most important attractions in the city, one can visit the mosque any time but we recommend visiting in the evening. 

It’s said that the masjid can accommodate almost 10,000 people and one of the reasons that the mosque is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Hyderabad is owing to its architectural brilliance and intricate interiors. It’s important to remember that only Muslims can visit the mosque but if you aren’t from the Islam faith, you can admire the spellbinding facade of the mosque. 

Birla Mandir

The majestic Birla Mandir is a sight to behold and is one of the most important places to visit in Hyderabad. Whether one visits the temple as a devotee or a history buff, the architectural brilliance is bound to render one speechless. The temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara of Tirumala Tirupati and is situated on top of Naubat Pahad, a 280 feet hill.

The temple's architecture is a mix of South and North Indian temple architecture and is truly a marvel to explore. Honouring the wishes of Swami Ranganathananda from Ramakrishna Ashram, the temple does not have any bells so that people can also meditate here. Sanctified in 1976, it houses statues of various Hindu deities. The temple complex also houses a temple dedicated to Lord Buddha and the walls of the temple are carved with teachings of various saints and passages from the Gurbani.

On the list of top places to visit in Hyderabad, one can visit the temple on all seven days of the week between 7 am to 12 pm and 3 pm to 9 pm. Since it is situated on a hill, it provides beautiful views of the city, including the Hussain Sagar Lake. If you plan to visit the temple early in the morning, you'll be greeted with a gentle breeze and the sweet melody of birds.

The city of Hyderabad has a number of places for one to see. However, the beauty and tranquillity of Osman Sagar Lake make it one of the best places to visit in Hyderabad. The lake, also known as Gandipet, is a reservoir made in 1920 by the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad,  Nizam Mir Osman. The lake covers an approximate area of 46 kilometres.

The lake makes for a perfect spot to enjoy stunning views of the sunset and sunrise and you’ll spot many photographers during this time. Along the lake, there is a garden that houses beautiful trees and plants, giving the feeling that one is far away from the crowd of the city. If you have the time, we recommend heading out for a walk along the lake  – an experience to cherish for a long time. One can also enjoy boating in the lake and marvel at its grandeur or settle for a long, leisurely picnic amidst lush greenery.

On the list of most popular places to visit in Hyderabad, one can also spend a night here. For those who are planning an overnight stay, the summer resort of the erstwhile Nizams is a perfect option.

One can also head to Eat Street to enjoy a scrumptious lunch or dinner in the midst of surreal beauty.
