Shopping in Hyderabad

Hyderabad’s treasures are many, but pearls and 'bidri' work is what comes to mind where shopping in Hyderabad is concerned! Hyderabad is often referred to as the ’city of pearls' and there are many shops here that sell pearls in all hues, colours, and sizes. Bidri work which is silver inlaid on black metal is also synonymous with shopping in Hyderabad. Visit the government handicrafts Emporium Lepakshi to pick up some of this fine craft.

Busy and boisterous bazaars characterise Hyderabad. Steeped in atmosphere, abuzz with activity, it is the shopping areas in the vicinity of the Charminar that are the most interesting. The Laad Bazaar here, and Sultan Bazaar and Abids Circle are the main shopping areas in the city.
