Places of Interest:
| Sightseeing | |||

| Location Name | Description | ||
| Charminar | The Charminar is as much the signature of Hyderabad as the Taj Mahal is of Agra or the Eiffel Tower is of Paris. Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah, the founder of Hyderabad, built Charminar in 1591 at the centre of the original city layout. The Charminar was said to be built as a charm to ward off a deadly epidemic raging at that time. Four graceful minarets soar to a height of 48.7 meters above ground. Visitors can view the architectural splendor inside the Charminar. | ||
| Golconda Fort | Golconda is one of the famous forts of India. The name originates from the Telugu words "Golla Konda," meaning "Shepherd's Hill." The origins of the fort can be traced back to the Yadava dynasty of Deogiri and the Kakatiyas of Warangal. The fort is famous for its acoustics, palaces, ingenious water supply system, and the famous Fateh Rahben gun—one of the cannons used in the last siege of Golconda by Aurangzeb, to whom the fort ultimately fell. | ||
| Qutb Shahi Tombs | The tombs of the legendary Qutb Shahi kings lie about a kilometer away from Banjara Darwaza of the Golconda Fort. Planned and built by the Qutb Shahis, these tombs are said to be the oldest historical monuments in Hyderabad. The tombs were built in Persian, Pathan, and Hindu architectural styles using grey granite, with stucco ornamentation. They are the only tomb in the world where an entire dynasty has been buried in one place. Take a virtual tour of Qutb Shahi Tombs. | ||
| Osmania University | Established in 1918, Osmania University is one of the oldest universities in India. Named after Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, the university buildings are splendid, especially the Arts College, which is a perfect example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. | ||
| Birla Mandir | This white marble temple of Lord Venkateshwara seems to float on the city skyline, on Kala Pahad. The idol in the temple is a replica of the one at Tirupati. | ||
