Choumahalla Palace
The half day tour in Hyderabad starts at Choumahalla, the Palace of the Nizams who were at one time the richest people in the world. Some of the noteworthy sections in this Palace include a water fountain, vintage cars, intricate carvings, glass chandeliers and the grand durbar hall. As many as 7000 attendants used to man this Palace! Our guide will give you an insight into the personal and political life of the Nizams.
Salarjung Museum
The half day tour in Hyderabad next takes us to Salarjung, the most famous museum in Hyderabad. It has the world’s largest one-man Art collection. Nawab Mir Yusuf Ali Khan Salar Jung III(1889–1949) who was the Prime Minister of the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad, spent a fortune over thirty-five years to build this collection. The collection ranges from 2nd century B.C to early 20th century A.D.
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.
