Built across the river Krishna connecting this city with Amaravati, Prakasam Barrage has created a panoramic lake. Its three canals that run through the city give Vijayawada a Venetian look.
The Prakasam Barrage is a 1,223.5-metre-long (4,014 ft) tidal barrage across the Krishna River connecting Vijayawada and Guntur districts in Andhra Pradesh, India. The barrage serves also as a road bridge that spans a lake, formed by the barrage wall. The three canals associated with the barrage run through the city of Vijayawada, crossing it and giving it a Venetian appearance.

Sri Durga Malleswara Swamyvarla Devasthanam
This temple is on a hill (Indrakeeladri) overlooking the city and the River Krishna. One can either motor up the ghat road or take the steps on foot. Inscriptions of different dynasties are found in the temple. During the Dasara Festival, thousands of devotees come from the city and its environs throng to the temple after a holy dip in the River Krishna.
The first Gandhi Memorial with seven stupas in the country was constructed on this hill at a height of 500 ft (150 m). The 52 ft (16 m) stupa was unveiled on 6 October 1968 by Dr. Zakir Hussain, the President of India. Gandhi Memorial Library, a Sound and Light Show on Mahatma Gandhi's life and a planetarium are the other attractions. A toy train journey will be a memorable experience at that height on the hill.
