Walking distance from Chandni Chowk Metro stn. Cloak room available. 10 bucks for Indians. You can spend nearly 2-3 hours in this fort. Its pretty huge. Light show happens during evening hours.

It’s definitely one of those places that you must visit if you’re Delhi the first time. Takes good 3 hrs to see the entire fort,there are sections inside that have a confluence of architecture styles

Get ready for a vryy long walk for atleast 3-4kms. The parking is away from entrance and the emperor had built this in serious huge size. Expect some leg pain, do take sme good photos.

a rickshaw through chandni chowk is a must experience for all however bargain your price before you ride one. 200 rupees is enough for a half hour maze through the alleys.

Red Fort is very honorable place of India. A great rush on Independence Day and Republic Day. It is a very important part of Delhi Tours in India Read more

The audio guide, though not necessary, was pretty good. You'll need several hours in here to appreciate the entire complex.

Red fort is closed until 1st of Feb due to Republic day celebrations. We tried to go today but instead went on rickshaw ride around bazaars (must do for 200 rupees - 1 hour)

Also does a great sound and light show in the evenings which is worth seeing

Arvind Das

Diwan e khas is a must see as are the gardens .

Nice fort, but much smaller and less elaborated than the one in Agra.

ITC Hotels

Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 17th century, took 9 yrs to complete. This Unesco World Heritage site used served as a capital to Mughals. Closed on Mondays.

Poorly maintained and managed. Admission fee is considerably biased. 5/10 pts recommended for your top list in Delhi

Shereen Harris

Don't miss the light show that begins at 8:30.... The place is huge so wouldn't suggest it for a lady traveling alone

ITC Hotels

An evening of sound and light show at the fort, which re-creates the events in India's history, is a must when in Delhi

Mel Helama

Impressive but be careful with pickpockets once inside.
