Birla Mandir (Lakshmi Narayan Temple)

Birla Mandir is situated on Arera Hills, offering a majestic view of the city and the lake. The temple is dedicated to Lakshmi and Narayan. Birla Mandir is a calm tourist point in Bhopal for a quick visit.

Sair Sapata

This is a fun lakefront spot with boat rides, Bhopali food stalls, and a hanging bridge. It’s perfect for families and weekend hangouts. You can enjoy lively evenings in Sair Sapata. If you are the lookout for casual sightseeing places in Bhopal, add this place in your list. 

Manuabhan Tekri

This Jain temple is located on a hilltop. It’s known for its city views and peaceful surroundings. You can take a ropeway to the top. It’s quiet and usually less crowded. Great for short visits and sunset views.

Regional Science Centre

This science centre features fun exhibits, science games, and interactive displays. There’s also a planetarium and science park. You can easily spend 2–3 hours here. This is a unique tourist attraction in Bhopal.

Rani Kamlapati Palace

This is a small riverside palace located near the modern railway station. It features Mughal-style arches and offers a stunning view of the lake. Though simple, it holds historical value. One of the lesser-known sightseeing places in Bhopal.

Top 8 Attractions in Bhopal 

Gauhar Mahal

Gauhar Mahal beautifully blends Mughal and Hindu designs. It was built in the early 1800s, and now hosts craft fairs and cultural events. It’s a quick walk-through, but worth it for architecture lovers. One of the lesser-known places to explore in Bhopal.

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya

This is an open-air museum showing tribal life and culture from across India. You walk through full-size homes, art, and village setups. It’s unique, interesting and takes a couple of hours to cover.

Shaukat Mahal & Sadar Manzil

These two buildings are in the middle of the old city. It features European-style arches and an old charm, standing out from Bhopal’s typical Mughal look. There's not much to do here, but they’re interesting for quick Instagram-worthy photos.

Kaliyasot Dam

Kaliyasot is a peaceful dam area popular for quiet drives and sunset views. There’s not much of a crowd, which makes it great for slow mornings. It’s also a popular spot for locals to relax. 

Islamnagar Fort

This old fort was once the capital of the Afghan rulers in the region and is located outside Bhopal. The buildings are simple, with big courtyards and gardens. A good tourist spot in Bhopal if you're interested in lesser-known heritage.

Kerwa Dam

A weekend favourite near Bhopal. Kerwa Dam is perfect for short drives, savouring chai by the water, and taking in stunning views. Early mornings are the best time to visit here. Great for a peaceful escape.

VIP Road Lakefront

This long road beside the lake is known for its chill evenings and roadside stalls. Locals come here to walk and take photos. It’s not a monument, but it speaks of Bhopal's essence. A casual spot to explore in Bhopal, best visited after sunset.

Kamla Park

Kamla Park is an old-style city. It’s quiet, green, and has decent walking paths. Great for morning walks or just sitting by the water. 

Bhopal seamlessly blends nature, history, and culture. Plan your holiday around the best locations in Bhopal to live the best experiences.

    Akshat's 3 days trip to Bhopal

    The trip was ok. The driver aligned on Day-1 was very rude. Dint know the way to talk to guest. He was very frustrating and irritating person. Dint even know how to drive, I would have rated driver 0, but the driver on day2 was good, hence I have given 3 stars. The travel agent was supportive, howe
    ver it seems there were gaps as what were discussed with him and planned. We had a flight landing at 7 and when we visited hotel, the manager told us that the checkin would be at 12 pm. On calling the travel agent he said that the hotel arrangment is on the basis of availability. Ideally he should have told me earlier if this was the situation. Also his alignment with the cab agency was also not good. The cab agent was telling something and the travel agent said something else. I mean this kind of scenarios would have been avoided if they had a better planning before my visit. I bit disappointed with the experience I had this time. I have been travelling with travel triangle from quite some time and things have been great. Hoping to have better services in future.
