Flights to Hyderabad
In a country as sprawling and diverse as India, each city has its own identity, culture and language. Hyderabad is another of India’s unique locations. It was once the global home of large diamonds, emeralds and natural pearls, earning it the nickname of the City of Pearls. It also has two official languages, Telugu and Urdu.

Discover India’s city of pearls
Fly to Hyderabad with British Airways and discover how the city’s traditional past has merged into a 21st century metropolis.
You can still buy beautiful jewels from the marketplaces today, as well as embroidered fabrics and handwoven silk. Away from the shopping bazaars, you can discover more about the history of Hyderabad in the Salar Jung Museum. From the outside, the building looks glossy and modern, but there are artefacts here that date back to the 1st century.
Don’t miss the Golconda Fort either, which is home to the ruins of palaces and mosques, and offers views across the city. Hyderabad is also famous for its biryani, so enjoy a hearty bowl of a recipe that's been made for centuries after a long day of exploring.

The best time to visit Hyderabad is between November and February. Travelling here in winter means you can explore all the city has to offer in comfortable conditions. Summer temperatures in this region of India are sweltering, and the hottest months of the year are followed by monsoon season.
Whatever your budget, there’s plenty to keep you busy in Hyderabad. You can find free walking tours led by locals, which show off the city’s highlights. Alongside these, there’s street art to admire and museums to tick off that require just small entry fees.

It takes about 40 minutes to reach Hyderabad from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport by taxi. You can also take a bus. The air-conditioned airport buses stop at various points in the city, and offer a comfortable transfer every 30 minutes.
See another side of India in Hyderabad. Marvel at sights like the Charminar, which could be compared to Paris’ Arc de Triomphe, the unforgettable Chowmahalla Palace, and the impressive Paigah Tombs.
