If it hasn't been in your itinerary till now, forget the traffic bit and show some dogged zeal now. The doors are open, so come and partake of the Shahi experience of being a Hyderabadi royal.

Mecca Masjid (Tourist Spot)
One of the largest mosques in the world, this took 8,000 masons and labourers, 77 years and 1,400 bullocks (!) to be completed. So do visit. And remember to sit on the stone seat.
Where: Near the Charminar, Charminar (4.1 km)
|
| |
Quli Qutb Shahi Tombs
The mausolea of the 'Sultans of Golconda', and one of the most important tourist spots in the city. If you didn't come here on a school excursion, you probably didn't go to school.
Where: Golconda (7.3 km)
|
| |
Lad Bazaar
It's a seemingly innocent lane, devoted entirely to all that is oh-so-essential to the process of dolling up. But then things have never been what they seem, and here, too, a drama plays itself out.
Where: To The Left Of Charminar, Charminar (3.4 km)

Birla Mandir (Tourist Spot)
Of all the people who've been there, perhaps the only one who's not totally impressed by the view from the Birla Mandir at night is perhaps the Lord Himself.

Salarjung Museum (Tourist Spot)

Where: 22-7-268, New Buildings, Near Estate Talkies, Afzalgunj (2.7 km)
|

Held in the last two weeks of December every year, the annual Crafts Mela, also known as The Overpriced Rip-off Fair Of The Year, is only one part of life at Shilparamam.
