Red Fort on Postcard

"Diwan-i-'Am: Hall of Public Audience Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Red Fort, located in New Delhi , is a treasure trove of cultural history. You can spend hours wandering among the various buildings, learning much about the history of India. Tucked away within the walls of the Red Fort is the Hall of Public Audience. Don't be fooled by the modest red exterior, for once you cross the threshold you are greeted by intricately detailed inlaid-paneled walls that run from the floor to the canopy-ceiling. It is within this chamber that the emperor would receive people from the community and hear their complaints. (I entered this building towhine about the 104-degree heat, but alas, there was no emperor available, as it was far too hot.)"

Had an amazing experience visiting this iconic fort. I also attended the light and sound show which was one of a kind experience overall. There are 5 museums inside too which are included in the ticket. Large well maintained area with a lot of historical significance. No guide needed. Information boards and museums have everything written there. Tips: Take the red fort ticket from the QR outside to avoid any queue and also get a discount. The light and sound show is recommended but take the general tickets from book my show (500 per person).

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. As usual in India , price for international visitors was like 10 times more (i think around 50 for Indians and 550 for foreigners). I often hear comparisons between this place and agra fort, but i felt they had different charms and both worth visiting. A huge part of the fort is open for visit, so it took us quite some time to go through it! They have a small market inside as well as a few eateries. Overall a fun day.

It's a good place with all basic amenities. The new museum built is also good. There is separate charge of Rs 100/ticket but full of knowledge. No tourist guide is needed.

The iconic Red Fort is a must visit if you are a Delhite. But visit you must with a good guide. Join one of the many heritage walks that are conducted almost every weekend. You'll come back with an overwhelming sense of a glorious past, and also being in a part of the city that is actually the real Delhi. Hop over to Chandni Chowk for an extended feel of the city if you're up for some unclean but raw and real life

It's nice place but now a days more and more government offices opened here. I think they are trying to occupy this historical place for a residence. This is destroying the originality of Red fort.

Bought the tickets online to avoid the queue Get dropped in front of main entrance (opp. Chandni Chowk) to avoid long walk to entrance. Choose a weekday with chill weather for the best experience. Otherwise it might be too hot/humid and crowded to enjoy. Must visit the museum if you enjoy the rich history of Indian freedom movement.

Great Site, but avoid during sunny days. Maintained heritage site. There is a canteen inside. Rs 50/- only for the fort and If you want to visit museum as well then it will be Rs 80/-
