Attraction
Hyderabad (Charminar & Golconda)
Built in 1591 at the centre of the old city, with a minaret at each corner. You can climb one — a hundred and forty-nine steps up a tight spiral — and the view over Laad Bazaar is the reason to. Published heights for the minarets disagree depending on whether they are measured from the plinth, so ignore the numbers and look up.
