100 per Adult for Indians 40 per Child (Below 10 Yrs) for Indians 400 per person for Foreign Tourists 50 for Still Camera 200 for Video Camera Built in the 18th century, almost 200 years ago, the Chowmahalla Palace is one of the popular sightseeing places in Hyderabad. The literal meaning of this place is “Four Palaces” with “Chow” means four in Urdu and “Mahalat” which is the plural of “Mahalel” meaning palaces. Chowmahalla palace is said to resemble Shah Palace of Tehran in Iran. The Chowmahalla Palace is consisted of two courtyards which are divided into the northern courtyard and the southern courtyard. The southern courtyard of the palace has four palaces which are namely Afzal Mahal, Tahniyat Mahal, Mahtab Mahal, and Aftab Mahal. The Aftab Mahal is a two storied building and is the biggest of all the four. The northern courtyard which has been open to public, houses Bara Imam, a long corridor with many rooms on the eastern side, which was once the administrative wing. Another captivating feature of this courtyard is the Shishe-Alat. This was used to receive guests and public figures. The Chowmahalla Palace has Clock Tower, Council Hall and Roshan Bungalow inside it. The Roshan Bungalow has been named after Roshan Begum who was the mother of sixth Nizam. Khilwat Clock, which is famous for ticking since the construction of the palace, can be seen inside the Clock Tower. At the Council Hall, various manuscripts and rare books which were personal collections of the Nizam have been kept.

Time: 1.5 hrs. Visited in evening (better in evening as a good place to sit in the open grounds) Entry ticket: ₹100 per person. UPI doesn't work, but cards and cash allowed. No charge for mobile photography. Parking: Available for bike (₹10 charges, you can UPI the parking charges to the guy). Limited space for car parking, there was a long line outside as the card parking was full. Washroom: Available at the entrance and maybe 1-2 more. Clean. Drinking water: Available at the entrance (not sure if it is filtered). I encourage to please carry non-plastic water bottles. Review: • May visit once. Can avoid if limited time • Clean place, open parks to sit. Good place to chill/rest but nothing much to see here (Please keep in mind I have been to a lot of museums hence my review) • Swords/historical war equipment on display, good for children • Photogenic place, can have good photos for Instagram ;) • Vintage car display - a quick 5 min tour • Chandeliers are a beauty though, loved the touch • Still under-construction, 2-3 properties are still closed • At the entrance they have a place where you can try the shahi outfits for some charge

Chowmahalla Palace was the official residence of the Nizams of Hyderabad until the accession into India. It is a complex of four palaces near to the Charminar. The main palace Khilwat Mubarak is the palace which holds the durbar hall made of marble and chandeliers from Europe is the main attraction. The palace is now converted into a museum which tells us about the Nizams and their grandeur. The palace also has a collection of arms and a vintage car museum. The other three palaces are not so elaborate as the first one and most of the times locked. There is a clock tower by the name Khilwat clock which is three storeyed building of Mughal architecture. The palace complex is located in very crowded areas and hence takes a tough time to reach it. You need to spend a good 2 hours to see the whole complex. Tickets for the complex cost you Rs.250 per person. The visiting time is from 10.00 am to 5.00pm.

This is the must visit when you go to Hyderabad. You can't miss this by any chance. You can cover this place with Charminar as both are just 15min walk away. It literally gave me the feeling that it was a huge palace and a different era altogether. When you enter the main gate you'd feel a bit surprised since there's wall and then immediately you'd see the entrance. You'd not expect much but that's where you'll get a pleasant surprise. The palace is not recently renovated, repairs are still ongoing at many places. However, they have maintained this place's sanctity so well that even if I shouldn't compare.. I will say Chowmahalla palace over Mysore palace any day. You'll get what I'm saying when you see pictures. I'm still in awe and I went a month back in October'23 Entrance fees: Rs. 50-100 An amazing palace and the surrounding place. I really loved ittt!

Chaumahalla Palace, Hyderabad The Persian word Chahar means Four and Mahalla means Mahal, the Four Royal palaces or Chaumahalla was the official residence of the Nizams of Hyderabad during their reign. Salabat Jung, the fourth Nizam of Hyderabad, who commissioned the construction of the Chowmahalla Palace way back in 1750. After more than 100 years, the construction was finally completed between 1857 and 1869 during the rule of Asaf jah ii, the fifth Nizam of Hyderabad. This palace became the official home of the Nizams as well as the location where they held their royal court. Festive ceremonies, royal weddings, and parties for welcoming royal guests, including Governor Generals, were also hosted here. Even the Coronation ceremonies of the Nizams were held at the Chowmahalla Palace.

Chowmahalla Palace, located in the heart of old city of Hyderabad. It is a magnificent architectural monument that offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Nizams, who were the rulers of the land during the 18th century. Spread over 45 acres of lush greenery, this grand palace showcases a captivating fusion of Mughal and European architectural styles. Unfortunately it is not very well maintained. It has nice intricate carvings, ornate arches, and gorgeous royal grandeur. The highlight of the palace is the grand Durbar Hall, a stunning chamber adorned with dazzling chandeliers, intricately patterned marble floors, and elaborately embellished walls. This hall was used for formal meetings and ceremonies by the Nizams. Also, it has nice vintage car collection of Nizam including a Rolls Royce. I wish it had a better maintenance. You can definitely visit it one time.

  • Naveen Kumar

This historical place is now opened to Visitors with an adult ticket price of 100 rs/- You can complete the whole visit almost in 2 hours. Some of the architecture design are are inspired from Turkey. Chandeliers, Vintage Cars are good. It also displays Nizam's Crockery, Dresses, Sofa ,Chairs, Weapons used by soldiers . Few Mahals are still under restoring and hope we can see more historical things in future. I felt the maintenance could be more better. Nevertheless, the government is trying to restore few structures within the palace. Note that camera is not allowed but you can take pictures in mobile. Sad thing is most of the people are busy with taking pictures but only few are appreciating the architecture and beauty of the palace .

Beautiful historical place. So much history not only on the walls but inside the walls. The palace is huge and majestic. The exquisite entry, the walls carved with mirrors, the hanging chandeliers, the dresses worn by the Nizams, their armour, weapons, the Nizam history, stamps, coins, crockery, the pavements, gardens. Just splendid. I'd suggest you should take a tour guide to go know the Nizam history. It has a separate car section to view the ancestral car collection. Their tea place is also an eye catcher. This place closes at 5 pm. So I suggest you should hurry. In all I loved it.

Beautiful and calm palace close to hustle bustle of charminar... Its one of the must visit place in Hyderabad and it lives up to the hype.... I visited this place in the evening and it was pleasant.... Lot of ground to cover as it is museum and the palace which needs to be covered. 4 different palaces and not to be missed are the vintage cars.... If you are even carrying cameras or action cams with no intention of shooting then u have to submit ur gear to security. Entry ticket - 100 rs per person Parking - Available Drinking Water - available Toilets - available #enqframes @enqframes

It's a beautiful, well maintained place. There are four places inside, hence the name. The main palace has a lot of history on display. You get to see the history of the palace, the nizams who built it, their lives in the palace, clothing of the people at the time, their warfare methods and tools and so much more. The vintage cars display is another exciting thing. At the entrance, you will find drinking water and toilets. The ticket though is a little expensive - Rs 100/adult. The palace is in the heart of the city. It's hardly 500m from the charminar.

Rich, Elegant, Detailed, Royal, Stunning. It is a great place to spend time in the city. The entry fee is Rs.100 per person, but it is worth the spend. There is a museum shop where you could buy silk clothes, books etc. You could also take Royal pictures of yourself (Costumes provided) at the palace for Rs.100. There is ample parking space, place to sit and relax. The design of the palace was so detailed and intricate. The Royal belongings were well preserved and a treat to the eyes as the observer could see the entire life and imagine it.

Must visit place when in Hyderabad. Friday it’s closed so plan accordingly. Once you visit this palace no need to visit other palace or museums in Hyderabad. Rest all are almost same with small difference. Very nicely decorated or arranged all items for display. Specially the armory. Chandlers are from Belgium and very beautiful. Vintage cars was a cherry on the cake. Major part of palace is closed for public however whatever is open to see will take 1-2 hours to see. If you go in depth of everything then 3-4 hours will be required.

The palace is of the royal family of Hyderabad. Very impressive paintings over there. It is worth a visit there.

Palace is good. There are many buildings in the vicinity and the palace is in the centre. Apart from the many chandeliers hanging from the roof, there isn't much to talk about. One can go to the first floor climbing the wooden stairs to get another view. One thing that is noteworthy to mention about the palace is the collection of vintage cars. Those cars are well maintained and kept in a glass enclosure.

An extraordinary massive eighteenth century palace of Nizams of Hyderabad spread in 12 acres was well maintained & conserved. Large courtyards & ceremonial halls were impressive.

Best place in Hyderabad for clicking nice pics. The whole palace looks so royal and elegant. There are many antique pieces such as royal clothing, the vehicles used at that time and many more. The entry ticket is 100rs per person which I think is worth spending. But they say that for phone photography you have to pay 50 rs which is not at all required. So don't fall for it... It is a must visit place when you are nearby charminar as it is just 10 mins walk from there.

  • Avin Faldu

This is situated close to Charminar, one can even walk from Charminar ~500m. It is spread in a vast area. There is water and a washroom available at the entrance.

Felt the entry fees are not worth paying as most of the part of the property was closed and the one which is open was felt poorly maintained. The main Mahal is the most spectacular place while the others were either closed or didn't even have adequate light within. Such magnificent properties should have been maintained properly.

Best place to visit with friends and family. Gives insight about our ancestors Nawabs and their lifestyle. We get to know about history of our Hyderabad. Ample space for parking is available. Canteen for snacks is available. Wheel chair accessibility is available but to see the palace need to climb stairs which may not be possible.

A nice archeological site to experience the culture and life of Nizam's of Hyderabad. Although the site has significant importance to the history of Hyderabad, the palace is not very well maintained. The entry fee is Rs.100/- for adults and the parking is also available. Palace is just a 5mins walk from the iconic Charminar.

It's a palace with a good collection of Chandeliers, Vintage cars, Guns, War weapons used during the Nizam's Rule. The Architecture of the palace is really praise worthy. The courtyard of the king looks really a wow. The roof architecture and window design are just more than amazing. It is close to charminar and is a must visit if you are visiting charminar

A vast and amazing palace featuring numerous exhibits, including a few classic cars on show. Everything is kept in excellent condition. The entire tour, taken at a leisurely pace, takes at least two hours. Additionally, there is a tiny booth where you can pay to have pictures taken and dress up in devoted attire.

The entry fee is 100 rs per person which is too high and only cash(UPI not available). The place has limited things to view and parking is also payable. The road is always rushed as it is too near the charminar. A person who loves history will love it. It is basically a museum of the ancient kings of Hyderabad.

This place has 4 palaces, as the name suggests. They have a collection of artefacts of the Royal family, weapons, clothing, Vintage Cars. The experience was satisfactory. It will take around 2 hours to take the whole tour. There is no access to lawns and some other parts of the property which is sad. Water is available at the entrance. Great to visit during monsoon July-sept.

  • Shreyash Gurav

The place where Nizams stayed. One of the beautiful places in the city and has many iconic views. A couple of garden and palace building. Entry fee is Rs 100 and you can view the historic weapons, vintage cars and products. The place is maintained properly.

They also have a vintage car exhibition part ️ People might mislead you saying that the place is closed for the tourists, but it is not. Visit the place and have fun ✨

  • Agney Deshkar

Beautiful palace built by nizams, very photogenic. Entry ticket is 100 for Indians. If you're visiting Charminar, this is just 500m from there. Visit by at least 4PM as they close sharply by 5PM. Great place to explore the heritage of Nizams.

This one's a must visit for History enthusiasts. The museum is entirely well marked with information and display. It would easily take 3-4 hours for someone to go through it all in detail. Well maintained palace, pathways. Clean and functioning toilets from the look of it. A canteen with snacks and beverages. Enough parking inside the compound.

  • RATAN RATERIA

Not well maintained. Area is vast. Old properties are just fading in obivilian due to poor upkeep. The owners are just milking money by putting a steep ticket of 100/- per head. In lieu of this, they do not provide good facilities like Salar Jung Museum, which is well maintained, spick & clean with water, rest rooms, toilets and food kiosks.
