Old Delhi
Old Delhi is most rewarding when its monumental sites and everyday streets are understood together. The Red Fort expresses the imperial scale of Shahjahanabad, Jama Masjid remains an active mosque, and Chandni Chowk brings the visit into a living market district. Choose a compact route and expect frequent pauses along the way.
Discover Old Delhi
The fort deserves a dedicated visit rather than a hurried view from outside. Around Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk, the experience is more closely tied to street movement, worship and commerce. Keep the day adaptable, since entry checks and crowded lanes can change how comfortably a group moves.
Places to explore
Red Fort
Shah Jahan’s palace-fort formed the royal centre of Shahjahanabad and remains a major architectural landmark of the Mughal capital.
Jama Masjid
The mosque’s courtyard, gateways and minarets give Old Delhi a monumental religious focus, while daily worship continues to shape visitor access.
Chandni Chowk
The historic market streets offer a lively contrast to the major monuments, with food and shopping forming part of the area’s character.

Use this as a starting point. Adjust the sequence to your interests, access arrangements and local conditions.

Planning your visit
- Confirm mosque visitor arrangements around prayer, wear suitable clothing and follow the instructions at the entrance.
- Choose a clear meeting point outside the busiest lanes and carry only what you need for monument security checks.
