He got the record for "largest number of wacky cars in a museum = 57".
From the slim pickings we have, in no particular order:
- High tea and heritage tour at the Falknuma Palace
- Salar Jung Museum: The Veiled Rebecca and Mephistopheles and Margaretta are the highlights. The Musical Clock is vastly overrated.
- Chowmahalla Palace
- The Nizam's Museum
- Qutub Shahi Tombs
- Jewel of the Nizam for upscale Hyderabadi dining
- Burma Burma Resturant and Tea Room for vegetarian Asian fusion cuisine
- Ramoji Film City if you're into that sort of a thing.
I was last there 10+ years ago, but the lake in the center of the city (https://maps.app.goo.gl/yVzEBmEbc8Qu6rC98) had a few parks around it and was pleasant to walk around.
Biryani is the local favorite food. Paradise is(was?) a popular, if touristy, place to get it: https://www.paradisefoodcourt.in/
Golconda Fort was impressive: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/india/andhra-pradesh/hyderabad-...
Try the tea there - The Hyderabadi/Irani chai (will be very sweet but goodness it's tasty!) - Cafe Niloufer. The cafe is named after the Turkish daughter in law of the erstwhile Nizam. She was/is really loved there.
Also visit the Buddha statue in Hussein Sagar.
