Completed in the Indo Saracenic architecture style, this is one of the best places to visit in Hyderabad and you can spend hours wandering around here. Let hope it makes it to the UNESCO World Heritage List soon!

India is hot as hell, so we sure were glad to find the Snow World Hyderabad to cool down. One of the biggest in the world – and the third oldest after the Snow World’s built-in Singapore and Malaysia. Expect plenty of artificial snow, a unique snowfall feature and a go-kart track.

One of the oldest markets in Hyderabad, you ware going to want to bring your camera for this one. Take your time and explore, just keep an eye on your valuables as pick-pocketing is all too common here.

Found in the Hitech City, this is probably the best mall to visit to get all your shipping in Hyderabad in a prime location. It has all of your major international stores like H&M and Marks+Spencers, plus plenty we had never seen before. It’s quite a different style mall with changing decor frequently and fun zones for children, but we suggest you go during the weekdays to avoid the worst of the crowds.

Another glorious palace in Hyderabad, expect here time seems to have stood still. A visit here is to go back in time 200 years to when the Nizams used this palace as for entertaining official guests and to rule the state. You can explore here for hours admiring the conglomerate of architectural styles and regal gardens.

Tasting the non-vegetarian cuisine of Hyderabad

The Hyderabad city was once ruled by the Nizams and Mughals, and the towering architectural marvels bear testimony to a long-lost era. The ever growing and glowing city of history and art has a fair share of beautiful markets and old restaurants to offer as well. The ever-helpful local people also make it one of the most visited places in India. As the capital of the newest state in India which is Telangana, Hyderabad has some really good food that you must try out. While this strictly does not fall under sightseeing, exploring Hyderabad would be incomplete without understanding its relationship with food. Very few places in the world can claim their fame for one particular food item. Hyderabad is one of those few places and is synonymous with Biryani – a mix of rice and meat cooked with spices. As you also learn that a Hyderabadi will debate about two things other than Biryani – A cup of Irani chai and Haleem. Sightseeing is one aspect of Hyderabad but your tour to Hyderabad is not complete without tasting the best of Biryani, Haleem and Irani chai. Food is part of the cultural ethos of Hyderabad and there is more to food here than simply satisfying the pangs of hunger.

This city has a history that is over 400-years old and it takes pride in delivering you an impressive medley of sights, sounds, colours and flavours. Make sure to plan in advance and book from a wide array of hotels, to suit your taste and budget.
