2024-11-22The Red Fort is a magnificent piece of Mughal architecture. The Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas are absolutely stunning. The light and sound show in the evening is a must-see - it brings the history of the fort alive!

2024-10-12Great historical monument with well-preserved structures. The museum inside has some fascinating artifacts from the Mughal era. Audio guides are available at the entrance which I highly recommend for a better understanding of the history.

2024-08-15Visited during Independence Day and the flag hoisting ceremony was a proud moment. The fort looks spectacular in red sandstone. Chhata Bazaar inside has some nice souvenirs and handicrafts. Plan at least 2-3 hours for a thorough visit.

2024-12-08Beautiful fort with rich history. The marble inlay work in some sections is reminiscent of the Taj Mahal. The gardens are well-maintained. Can get very hot in summer so carry water and wear comfortable shoes.
