Red Fort

Fort Delhi, Delhi, India

What to expect

The Red Fort is a grand monument and a testament to the peak of Mughal creativity. Spread across 255 acres, this octagonal marvel boasts intricate marble work, dazzling mirror mosaics, and the remnants of Shah Jahan's exquisite Persian-inspired palaces, blending Indian architectural traditions. The fort's vast courtyards and beautiful gardens are a true feast for the senses. Visitors can explore the Lahori Gate, the grand entryway, and the bustling Meena Bazaar, a shopper's paradise overflowing with colourful textiles, handcrafted souvenirs, and sparkling jewellery. The fort holds many treasures to explore, including the Diwan-i-Am, the women's quarters, the Mumtaz Mahal, the Rang Mahal, and the Khas Mahal. The Red Fort is embraced by a nearly 2.4-km-long ring of defensive walls, with towering turrets and bastions guarding the fort
