Worth knowing

Living in Hyderabad

  • Hyderabad Metro has three lines. The Blue Line runs from Raidurg in HITEC City to Nagole, and the Red Line from Miyapur to LB Nagar. They cross at Ameerpet. Check the walk from the nearest station to the office before you rely on it.
  • Hyderabadi biryani is the dish to try. Paradise in Secunderabad and Bawarchi at RTC X Roads are the old names, with Irani chai and Osmania biscuits after. The food runs hot, so confirm the spice when you order.
  • Charminar and Laad Bazaar are busiest in the evening and at weekends. Go before noon and park a short walk away; the lanes are narrow.
  • April and May pass 40°C. Plan outdoor visits before 11 am or after 4 pm, and carry water.
