Travel tips for Delhi

  • Closed Mondays; allow 2–3 hours; ticket counter closes at 4:30 p.m.
  • Foreign nationals pay ₹600, Indians ₹50 — bring ID
  • Combine with Jama Masjid (5-minute walk) and Chandni Chowk (rickshaw)
  • Skip Independence Day and Republic Day — security closes Old Delhi entirely
  • Closed every Monday — a classic tourist mistake
  • No photography, no shoes, no talking inside the central hall — silence is a rule, not a request
  • Free entry, no ticket, but queues on weekends exceed two hours — go early on a weekday
  • Metro: Kalkaji Mandir station on the Violet/Magenta lines is a 5-minute walk
