Qutb Shahi Tombs
These stately domes form an umbrella over the tombs underneath which rest the majestic kings of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in peace, thence the name. Located quite close to and in the vicinity of the Golconda Fort, these tombs were ornamented with blue and green tiles of which only a few can be seen now. The rooms inside the smaller tombs are basically single-storied while the larger ones have two-storied structures.
The tombs are a blend of large domes, minarets, terraces, arches, etc. Beautifully spread out carpet grass in the gardens around the different tombs welcomes the visitors. The hakims (royal physicians), the imams (religious leaders) and the favorite eunuchs of the royal household, apart from the rulers, were buried here. A crescent shaped structure atop the entrances of the tombs housing the burials of the royal kings marks the striking difference immediately. The tombs, which have been silent spectators to the many developments in Hyderabad over four centuries, are open to visitors on all days except Fridays.
A major attraction on the Tank Bund Road is the Lumbini Park. It is a hit with kids and families and has several attractions that could lure you to spend an evening away from home, with your family. It has eat-out joints, boating facilities and enough space for children to jump around. The musical fountain with two shows per day (1915 and 2000 hours), is an added advantage and entices more visitors and tourists. The park remains closed on every Monday.
Atunundi saagipommu hussain sagara thatammupai, achchatanoka ghadiya sepayina koorchuni taanamaadumu sameera seetambu sekaramulan
(…from there move slowly over to Hussain Sagar, spend at least a moment there to bathe in the cool breeze)
Dr C Narayana Reddy’s words aptly illustrate the charm that the Hussain Sagar holds. The truth of his statement can be understood only by taking a stroll across the Tank Bund on a pleasant evening. Cool drifts smoothly caress your temples welcoming you to the place. Thirty-three elegant statues of eminent historic personalities like Nannayya, Tikkana, Errana, Rudramma, Molla, Sri Sri, Jashua, Annamayya, Tyagayya, Vemana and Pingali Venkaiah overlooking the water body greet you warmly.
The Tank Bund, the dam to the Hussain Sagar and the link between the twin cities, was built by Hazrat Hussain Shah, and is and has always been a major tourist attraction. Adding to its charm is the monolithic statue of the Buddha installed in the heart of the lake. But for the pollution caused by the vehicles speeding away, it is a nice place to spend inactive evenings.
Public Gardens
Located right next to the Assembly, this is one spot in the city that has almost everything needed to entice a kid. No wonder then that it is one of the most frequented spots for school picnics. It houses two museums (the A P State Archaelogical Museum and the Health Museum), a park where kids can play, a mini school (Jawahar Bal Bhavan) for children to learn fine arts, and an auditorium (the Indira Gandhi Auditorium). The Jubilee Hall, the Lalitha Kala Thoranam (an open-air theater which is a venue for many film festivals, fashion shows and beauty pageants), the building of the Department of Horticulture and a mosque are the other fascinating places in the premises.
One of the oldest museums in the twin cities, it is reputed to be the largest private collection in the world. It definitely is a major attraction and is open on all days except on Fridays. The museum has various artifacts collected by Nawab Turab Ali Khan, popularly known as Salar Jung I, the diwan of the Hyderabad State, and his descendants.
Salar Jung III alias Mir Yousuf Ali Khan’s collection forms the major chunk of the art pieces on display. The popular ones among these rare pieces of art are The Veiled Rebecca (a statue bought in 1876 in Rome), Venice, a painting by Marc Aldine of 19th century Italy, Indian paintings, arms and attires of the Mughal emperors and some clocks.
Don’t miss out on the 19th Century British Musical Clock — a toy soldier popping out to ring the bell is a really cute sight. The Jade Room comprising jade objects is of special interest. You need to spend an entire day here to see all the exhibits.
Lad Bazar
Stroll across the lane to the west of the Charminar and you reach this street that seats a whole bunch of eager shopkeepers that beckon you and charm you into buying more bangles than you ever thought you needed. You wouldn’t feel bad about spending money here, though. The wares are a fashion statement of their own, and come pretty inexpensive.
One of the oldest shopping centers in the city, Lad Bazaar has some real good stuff among bangles made of glass, lac, metal, semi-precious stones and pearls. You're likely to have a tough time taking your pick! If you're in the mood to bargain, you can get your favorite varieties at even half the originally quoted price.
The place is also famous for its dress materials, bridal wear, henna, gold-coated articles, cosmetics, crockery, etc. Palaces like the Chowmahalla Palace built by the Nizams form a part of this neighborhood.

The road straight ahead from Jubilee Hills leads to Hi-Tech City and then to Madhapur. At Madhapur are located two attractive spots of Hyderabad — Shilparamam and Durgam Cheruvu. Shilparamam is an arts and crafts village set up in an area spanning 30 acres of land. The place is famous for its annual festivals and bazaars. It provides ample space for the artistes and artisans from across the country to meet at one place to exchange their views with each another and also with customers.
Durgam Cheruvu — located in the vicinity of Madhapur — is a lake surrounded by huge rocks, popularly known as the Hyderabad rocks and dating back a few centuries. The place provides the visitors with pedal boating facilities before the sunset, organized by the APTDC. Don’t forget to take a dekko at the Hi-Tech City on the way!
