Activities in Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam, or Vizag as it's popularly known, is most famous for its beaches. But it's also a city that has lots of natural beauty and history to offer. So getting holiday packages that cover varied sights is one of the best way to get a good sense of the city.
Visit a beach.
There are many beaches located along the coastline of the Bay of Bengal that would interest you. One of the most popular is RK Beach (Ramakrishna Beach), the place where locals hang out during the summer. Unlike beaches in the Western side of the world, people don't come here for a swim – just a good old place to relax and chill.
Go to a park.
While there are definitely urban parks to enjoy, one of the best is the hilltop park Kailasagiri. Filled with flora and tropical trees, this is a great place to get a view of the city.
Explore the past.
One of the best ways to appreciate a destination you are visiting is to learn about its past. This involves more than reading the results returned by a searching; it's about seeking out places where history is stored, and there are several of that in Visakhapatnam. The Visakha Museum, INS Kursura Submarine Museum, and TU 142 Aircraft Museum are interesting places to visit.

Visakhapatnam – Holiday Tour Packages
Holiday packages give you the opportunity to see the top sites of your chosen destination. Visakhapatnam, with its long history, has several historical attractions to offer – even ranging from the ancient to the modern.
But apart from that, it's a city that has increasingly become commercial over the years and as such, it would be interesting to see that side as well. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to visit one of its famed beaches.
