What travelers are saying
- ThepracticalsurveyorPreston, UK32 contributionsIconic world building, should be on everyone’s bucket list. Well maintained site free from the piles of rubbish and plastic which sadly adorn a lot of India including its historic buildings and surrounds.Written March 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MalcolmYealmpton, UK287 contributionsThe Red Fort was a great experience. From the outside there is a moat (without water now) and huge high walls. Inside some of the architecture of the buildings is amazing. The whole area is so well laid out.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gareth CLos Angeles, CA469 contributionsThe tomb sits on the bank of the Yamuna River. It's near the Taj Mahal; but, it's not walkable. (Ride bikes, or hire a taxi).
The complex and garden is a nice spot to sit riverside and escape the mania that's the Taj Mahal.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Be prepared to be jostled and walk thru some really narrow staircases. They try to push the elephant ride (about $30 / INR 2500) which you can use to go up the hill (about 10 min) but we decided to walk up the convenient pathways and large steps leading to the palace. Restrooms are well maintained but over crowding and long queues make it hard to navigate. Be prepared to be hustled by both guides and peddlers. We used our Hotel provided guide which was very useful as they guided us through both ticketing as well as the key locations. A must if you are going there for the first time.Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- singhasamWeymouth, UK4,076 contributionsWHEN I walked into one building at Jama Masjid I felt like I was on the set of some Hollywood blockbuster which had created a strange alien environment.
Carved beams criss-crossed overhead with unusual carved decorations beneath each intersection.
It was not the first surprise that a tour of Fatehpursikri would throw at me.
Jama Masjid is a 16th century mosque, one of the largest in India, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The courtyard is gigantic, covering more than 230,000 sq ft.
Be warned. You have to take your shoes off to be allowed in, women must wear long gowns and men in shorts will be asked to wear a wrap which can be hired at the entrance.Written November 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- QueenbeeLondon, UK231 contributionsWe rented a tuk tuk for the day today and was taken to the baby Taj , red fort and view point for 500 rupees for 2 persons( excluding entrance fees : red fort 650 each , 300 each baby Taj and 300 each murgh gardens view point). The red fort and this part of the red fort was amazing .Ao much detail and tall ceilings .Spend at least 2 hrs at the fortWritten November 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stantp1916Farakka, India1,272 contributionsThe court of public hearings. Since this was dedicated to the general public, it is large in size, although lacks the grandeur. The arches of the ceilings are intricately carved and are pure works of art. The place is clean and well maintained too.Written February 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 797dennispMontrose, UK30,795 contributionsBetter than New Delhi or Jaipur - this station is cleaner and has more character than the others. Our overnight train to Allahabad was only a little late getting in and I shared a four berth cabin with a holy man !
The Chai wallah arrived about 6:30am and I had a welcome cup of Masala Chai for breakfast.Written March 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This elegant, pillared, white marble building, painted with floral motifs, was Shah Jahan's private palace and its beauty is a reflection of Shah Jahan's love of beautifult things. Overlooking the Yamuna River, it is not surprising that it has views of the Taj Mahal. The building stands on a white marble plinth underneath which there is a two-storey building. One of the rooms of this underground building contains a gallows on which offenders "of the harem's chastity" were executed. Entry to this underground complex is not permitted. On either side of the Khas Mahal there are two exquisite pavilions which were apparently used by Shah Jahan's daughters, Jahan-Ara and Roshan-Ara. A beautiful building on top of a dark secret.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,112 contributionsLooking like it is made out of white marble while, actually, it is red brick covered with white plaster, the Golden Pavilion of Roshan Ara in Agra Fort is smaller than the other buildings around it but just as beautiful. It is not know what this building was actually used for but it is believed to have been used by Roshanara Begum, one of the daughters of Shah Jahan. It stands right on the edge of the wall of the fort and has a stunning view of the Taj Mahal.Written June 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,112 contributionsOriginally known as Akbar Darwaza and only used by the Mugal emperor Akbar and his personal followers, the gate was renamed Amar Singh Gate by Shah Jahan. Mainly plain in decoration, it's massive and you cannot help but feel dwarfed as you walk through it into Agra Fort.Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,112 contributionsUnfortunately, entry to the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) in the Agra Fort was not allowed on the day we were at the Fort. I have no idea of the reason for this but it was a shame because, if the interior of this building is as interesting and as beautiful as the exterior, then we missed out on seeing something magnificent.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,112 contributionsSmaller than the buildings around it, the Roshan Ara Pavilion in Agra Fort is well worth seeking out. Looking like it is made out of white marble (actually it's redbrick covered with white plaster) and built on the very edge of the fort overlooking the Yamuna River, is the view of the Taj Mahal. What this building was used for is not really known but it is thought that it was the private quarters of one of Shah Jahan's daughters.Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,112 contributionsSet on the right of the Taj Mahal is the Mihman Khana, which is also known as the Mehmaan Khana. During the turn of the century between the 18th and 19th century, this building was used as a guest house for the visitors arriving for the anniversary celebrations of the death Mumtaz Mahal (before this building was erected, these visitors were housed in tents). As beautiful and interesting as the Mugal architecture is of this building, it was only erected to match, in every respect, the mosque on the left hand side of the Taj Mahal.Written June 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
