Our last trip to the Chowmahalla Palace was a very good experience. The heritage of the city is truly reflected by the grandeur of the Palace. The next which we visited in the city was one of the most historic and iconic sites which defines Hyderabad, the Charminar. Charminar is the most popular attraction of the city and the visit to Hyderabad is incomplete without visiting Charminar.
Charminar is the architectural marvel of Hyderabad and a fine example of Islamic architecture. It has four beautiful minartes which open into four different streets. One can go to the upper floor of the Minar and take a panoramic view of the city. The surrounding view of the Mecca Masjid is very mesmerizing from the Charminar.
The edifice is truly a crown of the city. The place was very overcrowded. There are many public transports available to reach the spot and it is advised not to go there taking your own personal vehicle as parking spot is not there. The sad part of this beautiful structure is that there are many constructions which are happening in the surrounding places which make Charminar look polluted and its grace is surely evading.

The streets adjoining the Charminar are also worth a visit. One can do a little shopping as the shops sell pearls and other souvenirs at the nearby Pather Gatti. Those who want to have a taste of a real Hyderabadi Biryani can taste it in the Laad bazaar adjacent to Charminar. One can also visit the Bhagya Laxmi Temple which is an important temple of the city just in front of the Charminar.
The place is certainly worth a visit once. The visit to the Charminar should be avoided on weekends as it gets too overcrowded. It is certainly one of the most iconic and prominent structures in the country at par with the beauty of India Gate of New Delhi and Gateway of India at Mumbai.
Once we were done with the visit to Charminar we headed for our next place which was another prominent fort in the city known as Golconda Fort.
