What people say, in short
Chowmahalla Palace is a well-preserved heritage site in the Old City that people consistently recommend visiting, often pairing it with Charminar and other nearby sights.

It sits very close to Charminar, and one commenter notes it has a large parking area useful for exploring the Old City on foot.
