    Beautiful solitary architecture in the busy area.Worth a visit though may be best to go early in the morning.Surrounded by the Laad Bazaar,shopping for dazzling bangles,fabric etc can be done after.

    Mosque is Breathtakingly beautiful at night. Haggling is definitely advisable to do with vendors.Bring loose money for easy transaction. You can find almost everything in affordable price

    The ancients will never fail to amaze you with their largesse and eye for beauty. Do walk a bit and see the masjid nearby and get an unique perspective on the Charminar while gazing at its reflection.

    My colleagues insisted that I should have tea and biscuits near the 16th century Charminar Mosque at the end of our working day in Hyderabad - they were right. Wonderful place. 🙂☀️

    Hyderabad postcard, must to visit and shopping pearls. Great historical place, good view, architecture with many details, but not much good maintenance. Just take care, stair is slippery.

    If you are not from India and accompanied by an Indian you will get special treatment. Break in front, pay more for admission, and get a special tour--you will be charged. All though worth the price.

    Charminar is one of the most important monuments in the city of Hyderabad, capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The Charminar is a beautiful and impressive square monument.

    Get there early for some intimate time with the monument and less crowd. Be careful while climbing the stairs they're really step and narrow.

    Shop in the bylanes around charminar for bangles, China ware and other kitsch. Some of the most authentic food joints are around closer to madina circle.

    The Charminar which was constructed by Qutb Shah in 1591 CE is a monument and mosque. The entire city of Hyderabad was designed around it. The architecture is stunning & is elegant to watch in night.

    Busy, dirty and zero maintenance at the location. If claustrophobic avoid climbing the minarets to the first floor!
