Hyderabad was ruled for centuries by the Qutb Shahi kings and then the Nizams, and their monuments fill the old city. The Charminar, built in 1591, stands at its heart, surrounded by bazaars selling pearls and bangles.

Explore Golconda Fort, the Qutb Shahi tombs and the Chowmahalla Palace, then try the biryani the city is known for. The modern side of Hyderabad, around HITEC City, is a big technology centre.
