Charming Old City of Hyderabad

Old city walk in Hyderabad takes you back 400 years in time back to the times of the Qutb Shahi Sultans who built the city of Hyderabad and left a lasting cultural legacy. As we walk past the palatial mansions and mosques of a bygone era we will also relive the life and times of the Nizams of Hyderabad in this walking tour. The Hyderabad City Walk commences at the famed Charminar and ends at Chowmahalla Palace of the Nizams.

Charminar

Charminar is symbolic of the city of Hyderabad. It was built in 1591 by Mohammed Quli Qutb Shahi to commemorate the end of a deadly plague attack of the city. Our guide will enthrall you with legends like the presence of a secret tunnel underneath Charminar which connected to Golconda Fort, created as a means of escape for the royal family at times of distress.

Mecca Masjid

We walk to Mecca Masjid which is one of the oldest mosques in India. The foundation stone was laid by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth ruler of Qutub Shahi dynasty. The bricks used to build the mosque have been made from soil sourced from Mecca! This magnificent mosque can accommodate more than 10000 people.

Choumahalla Palace

Choumahalla, the Palace of the Nizams who were at one time the richest people in the world is the next halt in this Hyderabad City Tour. Some of the noteworthy sections in this Palace include a water fountain, vintage cars, intricate carvings, glass chandeliers and the grand durbar hall. During the heydays of the Nizams, as many as 7000 attendants used to man this Palace! Our guide will give you an insight into the personal and political life of Nizams of Hyderabad.

Paigah Palace

This is a 19th century Palace of a Paigah nobleman named Asmanjah who was a law minister in the service of the Nizams. The highlights of this two-storied palace are Greek Corinthian pillars and an emblem of the glowing sun at the entrance.

Laad Bazaar

Walking past bazaars full of bangles, perfumes, laces, and bridalwear, we visit a unique Clock Tower. It was constructed by Asman Jah Bahadur, a Paigah noble who was the prime minister of Hyderabad from 1887 to 1894. This Clock was a gift to the people of this area at a time when wristwatches and wall clocks were rare.

Guided Tour
