Hyderabad trip from Bangalore

About Hyderabad

Hyderabad pairs old-city heritage with a modern business hub. Most visitors cover the Charminar area, Golconda Fort and the palaces, and leave time for the city’s food.

Because the road trip is long, most travellers fly or take the overnight train from Bengaluru, and we plan stays close to where you will spend your time.

Things to do in Hyderabad

• Charminar and Laad Bazaar
• Golconda Fort and the sound-and-light show
• Chowmahalla Palace
• Hussain Sagar lake
• Heritage palace hotels such as Taj Falaknuma Palace

Who Hyderabad suits

Business travellers, heritage and food lovers, and groups attending events.

Getting to Hyderabad from Bengaluru

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is about 25 km from the city centre. Flights from Bengaluru take about 1 hour 15 minutes, and overnight trains and buses also run. The road trip is long, at around nine to ten hours.

A sample plan for Hyderabad

Day one: Charminar and Laad Bazaar, then Chowmahalla Palace. Day two: Golconda Fort and the evening sound-and-light show. A third day lets you add Hussain Sagar and a heritage hotel stay.

Planning tips for Hyderabad

• Allow extra time for traffic when moving between the old city and newer areas.
• Visit Golconda Fort early, when it is cooler.
• Try the local biryani and Irani chai.

Good to know before you go

The old and new parts of the city are far apart. Plan sightseeing by area, for example the old city on one day and the western districts on another. If you are attending an event or a conference, tell us the venue so we can shortlist stays nearby.
