If you are planning to travel to Hyderabad, this post will surely come in handy. Find out about what makes Hyderabad, truly Hyderabad!

Hyderabadi Food!

We all may have heard about Bombay’s vada pao, Lucknow’s Tunday Kabab and Benarasi Paan. Hyderabad has its own unique mascot in Hyderabadi Biryani. Not just this, Hyderabad offers your palate with a flavour of the Andhra cuisine that is spicy and delicious (If you are fond of spicy food, you could check out places like Sarvi, Shadaab, Dine Hill etc).

Affordable Cost of Living

Hyderabad is a city with an extremely reasonable cost of living as compared to other metropolitan cities in the country. You won’t have to shell out a bomb as the basic cost of survival is quite minimal (Don’t we all love things that come at a cheaper price?). Tourists will find awesome stays in comfortable OYO Rooms located in different parts of the city.

Talking in Hindi

If you are travelling from the northern part of the country and have experienced the language barrier like in many other cities, this city shall bring you some respite as people converse in Hindi here. Not just that, there is an interesting version of Hyderabadi Hindi which is quite popular in the area along with Telugu as another popular language. (Some words that you must know are nakko which means ‘no’, hau which means ‘yes’ and miyaan which means ‘sir’).

Tourist Attractions

Besides being a monument of historic relevance and importance, Charminar and the area around it have the old-world charm of the city with a telescopic view of the city’s culture, heritage and style that one would love to see. In addition to that, it quenches the thirst of photographers who are looking for shots from the old city. Moreover, one can even strike a great deal with good bargaining skills if you are looking to buy local stuff from the city. Other than that, there are tourist places like Salar Jung Museum and Golkonda Fort for the history buffs travelling to this city.

Bangles, Bangles Everywhere

Hyderabad is known to have Asia’s biggest choodi bazaar called the Laad Bazaar. This choodi bazaar is close to the Charminar and serves as an attraction for most tourists as they can find all sorts of bangles in different colours, shapes and sizes right here.

Something For Kids Too

In case you’re travelling with family, Hyderabad has a fantastic zoo that kids would love to go to. One could always take up a cycle-on-rent and ride their way through it. Other than that, there is Ramoji Film City which often has movies being shot there and therefore, serves as a major tourist attraction. While you’re on your way to Ramoji, there are plenty of local dhabas that one can try out for food.

Hanging Out

Hyderabad’s famous malls include InOrbit mall, Forum and GVK that host most international brands of clothes and accessories along with restaurants and cafes. The most popularly known joints in the city are Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills where one can find the majority of the young crowd. Furthermore, there are many multiplexes and people can watch a movie for as less as Rs 100 and ranging to about Rs 250 for a recliner seat (way cheaper than other metropolitan cities).
