Beautiful mosque, truly a masterpiece of architecture and absolutely worth visiting. There are 3 entrances, we were with a tour guide, but as far as I understood, the entrance in front of the Bazaar is free of charge (double check before going). Women need to cover their heads, and be dressed appropriately and accordingly. Everyone has to enter without shoes, shoes can be left outside the mosque, but at your own risk.

One of the large mosques in Old Delhi is the Grand Mosque, which features a spacious courtyard in the center with a pool for ablution. I was fortunate enough to discover the entrance to the tower, where you can climb a few steps to reach the top and enjoy the breathtaking view of Delhi. Just be aware that you will need to go barefoot while ascending. There is an entrance fee of 300 rupees for foreigners, which bothered me a bit since entry to this significant religious monument is free for everyone else.

Worth the visit. Expect to spend at least 20 mins walking around. While you can go inside (under the roofed area), the inside space is limited. The stonework is fantastic. A bonus point: you can see some monkeys.

It's a Masjid which was build to 5 time pray but people here come to enjoy the architecture and the ambience. I request everyone to treat this place like a mosque and maintain the dignity of Islam and it's values. People enter mostly with their wives wearing shoes and spread too much litter over here.

Must visit historical site and a religious site too. Carry a bag so that you place your chapel/shoes as it's not allowed to wear it inside. Place is closed between 12:00 to 1:30 for prayers so no tourists are allowed inside. You can buy foods outside this place at the entrance. No entry fee. Wheelchair accessible ♿❌
