Hyderabad's sights cluster into two groups: the Qutb Shahi monuments around the Old City — Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Chowmahalla Palace, Laad Bazaar — and the hilltop fortress of Golconda with its royal tombs ten kilometres west. Allow a full day for each. Beyond those, the Salar Jung Museum is world-class, and Hussain Sagar with its Buddha statue is worth a sunset walk.
