The Nizam’s Museum

The Nizam’s Museum is housed in the heritage Falaknuma Palace, a striking example of Indian architecture completed in the 19th century for Nawab Vikar-ul-Umra, the prime minister of Hyderabad. The museum showcases the opulent lifestyle of the Nizams, featuring ornate carpets, vintage cars, and a collection of jewels that reflect the wealth of the erstwhile royal family. Allocate at least an hour to take in the exhibits, preferably in the cooler hours of the day. Nearby, you can explore the grandeur of the Chowmohalla Palace or enjoy a leisurely walk in the vibrant street markets of Old Hyderabad.
