Last weekend we visited Salar Jung museum here in Hyderabad. In my opinion it is the best place to visit in this city, However, there are plenty of cool places here but museum is awesome. You can spend whole day overthere. We could not finish it fully in 2.5 hours. It has art objects collected from all over the world. The best of all was the statue of "The Veiled Rebecca" a biblical character. The Italian artist, Giovanni Maria Benzoni , has brilliantly created the lady in transparent veil with a milky white glowing marble.
You can find the more details here.
