"Hyderabad-the land of nawabs" a Hyderabad Travel Page by sabarish

Neither as fastpaced as Mumbai, nor as slow as Calcutta. Neither as conservative as Chennai, and nor as cosmo as Bangalore. Neither as salubrious as Pune nor as polluted as Delhi.The name Hyderabad conjures up visions of a vibrant city of minarets and modern high-rise buildings. A natural and sophisticated blend of old and new - an old royal culture with a new pro-active approach and hospitality. The teeming bazaars of the old city, in the midst of which stands the historic 400-year-old Charminar, the hyper-markets and ultra-modern multiplexes in the newer areas of the city all add to the charm of Hyderabad.
