A very well maintained piece of architecture. Built over a 1000 years ago, Golconda Fort stands straight as one of the best attractions in Hyderabad.
Not very crowded throughout the day, but would recommend going either early morning or during the evening.
There’s an entry fee of ₹25 for Indians and ₹300 for Non Indians.
It’s a light trek to the top of the fort, and the view on the top is mesmerising.

Friendly staff and well maintained place. The hike to the top is worth it for the city view. Suggestion to take an entire day to visit, coz you will feel tired after climbing to the top, also higher a guide to get the insight of the place (costs ₹1000 - ₹1500 depends on bargaining)

Cons: No one accepting digital payment...nor the entry ticket, nor the snack centers inside (nor the one at the foot, not the one in the top)

Suggestion: Go empty stomach, since you have to hike and once you exit have the lemonade soda at the first exit)

Historic fort of Hyderabad. It was very good experience to visit the fort. Garden is also well maintained. Many steps to go on the top. So, takes time to cover everything. Entry tickets need to take to visit the fort.

I visited this fantastic place for the first time in my life. The whole place is really good and the view from the top is non- forgettable. One small problem is the pungent smell on the top of the fort.yiu can see the whole city from this place. Get your water bottles before climbing, because sometimes shops are close inside the fort and they have only two shops at the height.

Fort is a really good place to visit. It's a very big fort with a small trek and a good view of the city. Restaurants are there near the fort and if you want to watch a light show it'll be there at 7pm so plan accordingly.

It was a nice experience will going up to the Fort. Must carry a water bottle or juice. I don’t know the price which are selling in the Fort. There no problem to take outside food also it’s up to. The view from top of Fort was fabulous. While climbing up to Fort we had a thrilling experience. A nice place visit in Hyderabad. Initially we started to explore the places of Golconda we half of place and take rest in middle of the Fort after relaxing again we start to cover remaining places. Hardly we took 4hr to explore all the things in Golconda fort.

This historically significant place is one of my personal favourites. Among all my journeys to historic places, the one I took to this particular spot is truly unforgettable. It was a great experience to explore this ancient world. It was extremely awesome to roam around inside and outside the fort. I enjoyed each and every moment of that visit.

A very old Historical Monument, at which all the types of people can enjoy. I heartfully recommend this place to visit and enjoy the view of the city. Maintenance is good. The only sad thing is that visitors behaviour is not good in cleanliness. Everyone throws the garbage just like that in the premises.

I request those who see my review kindly follow our self cleanliness and keep our premises also clean. Thank you.

The fort is magnificent in it's full fortresses. The monument is properly maintained by the archeological survey and the government. Dustbins and drinking water at uniform distance.

Tip- take a water bottle with you since you have to walk a lot to reach the temple and mosque which is at the top.

It's a very good tourist attraction. There are a lot of interesting facts and architectural beauties. It's always better to go during the evening so it won't be hot. You should walk all the way up to enjoy the view and get the whole experience.

think the best time to visit this place is around 4.30pm whence you can stroll through the place in the evening sun and will also get time to capture pictures while you are going up the fort. It is beautiful to see the setting sun from the highest point in the place. There's no need to take a guide if you have the background knowledge about the place as they are going to describe only the significance of the various spots on the way.we can beautiful sunset and it's a historical place....

This place is good to time spend, and learn about our history.

If you want to go there then take care to your bikes in parking for helmets and your luggage, speakers and standard is not allowed in fort. You can carry on the camera take a separate ticket for your camera.

Amazing place to explore this history ...Try to avoid visiting this place in Sunny Day because of the heat else keep umbrella, hat or water bottle to deal with it. Not recommended for elderly people/ people having heart issue to climb to the top of the Fort as the steps are not easy to take. Overall it was an amazing experience
