Good historical place to visit. Not much people usually, green grass and good sightseeings from the top of the tomb's main building. Entrance cost 500rup for foreigners ????

Humayun’s Tomb was designed by a Persian architect , Mirak Mirza Ghiyath . Contrary to Taj Mahal , built by husband in wife's memory, Humayun Tomb was built by Hamida Banu Begam for her husband

Beautiful architecture and very peaceful to walk around - a great escape from Delhi. Very interesting to visit before the Taj Mahal .

This was the inspiration for the Taj, if you want a fairly unobstructed shot of the structure , head to one of the sides where the crowd is far less dense.

Kushal Sanghvi

Definitely one of Delhi's landmarks and a treat to see this beautiful piece of architecture each and every time!!

Mina Naaz

Humayun’s Tomb was built in 1570 and the body of second Mughal emperor , Humayun is kept inside the building. You should know that this monument in India is first of its kind.

Take a full round of the area. You'll get different angles to click. Visit the information centre which is there just at the entrance of the tomb.

It is beautiful outside - the architecture and the garden . But inside it is worthless.

Apart from being a relatively quiet tourist spot, this place is also home to fearless squirrels. You are not allowed to feed them though.

The entrance is 750rupees. Look out for the spiderweb window (jaali) to guard the tomb.

Guilherme 梅田

Falam que a inspiração do Taj Mahal veio daqui... O lugar é muito bonito! Venha no final da tarde pra pegar mais vazio. Aqui é um daqueles lugares onde turistas pagam 200x mais no ingresso para entrar

Gerardo L

Muy bonito lugar del cual se tomó inspiración para la construcción del Taj Mahal , la arquitectura es muy parecida pero cambian los materiales y el tamaño, vale la pena!

Paula Freire

O lugar é incrível! Monumento exuberante, jardins enormes. O povo indiano passeando por seus pontos turísticos dá um charme a mais para a experiência. Vale vir!

گفته میشه معماری هند پس از همایون که پانزده سال در دربار ایران پناهنده بوده و توسط شاه طهماسب صفوی به کشورش و تاج و تختش برگردونده میشه ، سبک ایرانی پیدا میکنه و این سبک در اغلب بناهای مغولی دیده میشه

Katiiii Miss

قضیه ساخت این آرامگاه برعکس تاج محله یعنی اینجا یکسال پس از مرگ همایون پادشاه گورکانی به دستور همسرش حمیده بیگم ساخته میشه و شاید پناهنده شدن او به ایران باعث شده که این باغ و بنا به سبک ایرانی باشه .
