Humayun's Tomb - only wished we spent more time here it was fantastic. Take time to walk around all of the site, sit on one of the seats & take it all in. Its only when your holiday has finished and your back at work and think "where would I like to be now" Humyans Tomb is one of those... more

Humayun's tomb is one of the few historical heritage buildings in delhi which is neat and clean. It had been painstakingly restored by the ASI and Aga Khan foundation. A visitor can spend couple of hours checking the intricate carvings and mausoleums. during the tourist season( October- march) one can spend more than half a day sitting in the beautifully... more

I thought this was one of the best places we visited in Delhi. There was one group of schoolchildren there but it was still relatively quiet despite the fact that we visited in high season (mid-February). It's worth setting aside a couple of hours to have a leisurely wander around both the Mausoleum & the grounds, both of which are... more

Was expecting this to be an oasis of tranquility, as you always hear, but was full of school groups when we visited. Large grounds though, so they were at least spread out. Impressive building- very picturesque. Rubbish toilet facilities! more

Toured this ancient Mausoleum in December 2008 with an extended family of 12. The entrance is quite grand, similar to that of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Upon entering the grounds, the look of the tomb is that of similar architecture to the Taj although constructed primarily of Red Sandstone. The Mausoleum is quite lavish with a domed roof above... more

The Tomb is in central Delhi. It is large beautiful building set in formal gardens. The site is very peaceful compared with chaos of the streets just outside. A visit is definitely recommended if you are sightseeing around Delhi. There is a relatively short walk from the main entrance through the gardens to some steep steps up to the first... more
