We unfortunately had a really negative experience due to the school children who were visiting. The boys were unsupervised and constantly followed us throughout the grounds and were being crude, doing things like grabbing their crotch and gesturing towards us, swearing etc. I cried after leaving. Would recommend not visiting if you are a female traveller and sticking with more tourist sites like Humayen.

Located at a walking distance from Jor Bagh metro station, this is a fine example of beautiful Mughal architecture. The place is clean, well maintained and peaceful as very few people visit this place which is actually quite surprising. A couple of hours visit is recommended. Photography is permitted.

This mausoleum was built to house the tomb of Safdar Jang, whose descendants all became Nawabs of Oudh. The building itself is a fine example of Mughal architecture. The mausoleum is a symmetric square of sandstone and marble with 4 minarets, one on each corner. Surrounding the mausoleum are gardens fitting in with the Mughal concept of garden tombs resemble the gardens of heaven. Even the gardens are highly regular, which combined with the symmetry of the building makes it look like it’s the same photo no matter which cardinal direction you take a photo.
The interior of the mausoleum is a masterpiece of Persian influence architecture, especially the inverted lotus ceiling that adorn both the main hall housing the tomb and the smaller rooms surrounding the hall.
This tomb is not as well known as other attractions in Delhi, but is totally worth the visit.

This city is full of amazing places. Mosques, Tombs and beautiful Parks everywhere but Safdarjung Tomb is one i wouldn't miss. I really wish they had water in the canals but other than that theres really not a bad thing you can say about it. The place is really well maintained and only 300 Ruppe to get in. We went at 7am when it opened and had the place to our self.

Built in the style of Humayun's Tomb, this 17th century Mausoleum is the last monument of Mughal Dynasty. Its beautiful and serene. One can spend free time just sitting and relaxing over here. Visit, if only you have ample time. If running short of time, then visit Humayun's Tomb. It can be said that Safdarjung Tomb is a smaller version of Humayun's Tomb. There is entry fees and parking is also available. No shops or restaurant inside.

Not too many people know about this place though it is only a stone's throw from the popular Lodhi Gardens. Its architecuture makes it worth visiting, even if it is a bit similar to Humayun's Tomb.

If you don't like crowded areas, but still want a dash of history, this is the place to visit. It is the tomb of an Indian Emperor, built in 1753. So it definitely is history and a worthy visit.

The tomb houses a good architecture similar to HUMAYUN TOMB. The nearest metro station is JOR BAGH. It is also close to Safdarjung airport. The architecture is good & also has a big garden. It is also near Lodi Gardens.
