Hyderabad Old City

如何抵達

Two national highways, NH 66 and NH 44, pass through the Old City, as does the Inner Ring Road. However, the roads are very narrow, encroached upon and so full of pedestrian and slow-moving vehicular traffic that driving here is a challenging experience even for the most experienced Indian driver. Take a taxi or an auto-rickshaw if at all possible. Network connectivity may be poor in parts of the Old City, which may prevent you from hailing a ride from an app.

Quli Qutb Shah built the Charminar in 1591 at the very spot at which he prayed to end the plague epidemic. The Charminar, made of pulverised marble, limestone, mortar and granite, has long been the icon of Hyderabad. The towers rise to a height of 48.7 m (160 ft) above the ground. It has 140 steps. Graffiti on the walls have diminished the beauty of the Charminar. There is a mosque with 45 prayer spaces located inside in the upper storeys. The structure stands in the middle of a busy road. The traffic has been stopped and the area is pedestrian access only. Atop the minarets, you get a panoramic view of Hyderabad; to reach the top of the monument, there are 149 winding steps to the upper floor. At the very bottom of one of the minar, there is a Hindu temple. The traffic is terrible. Plan an early morning trip around 9AM if shopping is not on the to do list. There is a separate entry way for foreigners. ₹25, Children below 11 free (for Indians), ₹300 (for foreigners), video cameras are charged ₹25 extra.
