4. Plan your city tour ahead
It is true that Hyderabad has flexible local conveyance for tourists and
travelers but planning must be there to avoid delays in reaching the
destinations. The number of buses and trains running between the places are
plenty but one must know the timings to catch them at the right time at a
specified location. More over, those who are planning city tour through local
roads must also include the time delays due to traffic congestion at major
junctions. Well, in case if you are hiring rental cabs, then you can ask the
driver to take you through Outer Ring Road, highways or expressways so that
you can at least save half an hour to one hour of your valuable travel time.

Weather will not be a problem for travelers as the city has fairly warm
climate throughout the year except in winters, there will be one or two

getting themselves hospitalized on their vacation. Just by following these
simple precautions they can make their Hyderabad trip pleasant and fun

Street foods are very tempting around the city but always prefer something
that is inside and hygienic. Also, be cautious about the salads as well as
foods that are not boiled. Reduce or totally avoid salads and not boiled
food. If possible try to have food at local restaurants because they serve
food hot and fresh.
