Hyderabad City Tour Online Booking
Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, has Qutb Shahi forts, Nizam palaces, lakes, temples and old markets, all within one city. Seeing them on your own means many auto rides and a lot of planning. A one day city tour bus puts the main sights into a single, fixed plan. This page explains how the tour works, what it covers and how to book your seat online.
What the one day Hyderabad city tour covers
The shared bus tour visits these places in a normal day. The order can change with traffic and closing days.
| Place | What you see |
|---|---|
| Birla Mandir | White marble Venkateswara temple on a hill near the lake |
| Golconda Fort | Qutb Shahi fort with the famous clapping echo |
| 3D World at Golconda | Short 3D show near the fort |
| Salar Jung Museum | Art, clocks, statues and arms from many countries |
| H.E.H. Nizam Museum | Gifts and items of the last Nizam at Purani Haveli |
| Charminar | The 1591 landmark of the city, with Laad Bazaar close by |
| NTR Gardens and Lumbini Park | Lake front parks for the evening |
| Hussain Sagar and Ambedkar Statue | View of the lake and the Buddha statue from the bus |
The old version of this tour also listed Chowmahalla Palace, Nehru Zoo Park, Chilkur Balaji Temple, Peddamma Temple and IMAX. These are not part of the standard bus route now. You can add them with a private car. Ramoji Film City and Yadagirigutta need a full day each, so they are sold as separate tours.
