    A very good place to hang out with your family. You can book tickets online or on the counter there.Parking is 100 meters before the place. The place is being renovated and might become even better but I found it very much well maintained, clean and full of basic needs like water kiosks and washrooms. Though the name suggests only a tomb but there are many mughal era structures which are too enticing. The old trees have their own beauty which makes the place even more beautiful. Being next to Sunder Nursery makes it a good combo to visit and spend a nice full day out.

    A nice temple to visit. The outside looked very clean and well preserved from the hundreds of visitors. Overall we didn't had any problems with the locals that were also visiting this place. The interior and surroundings are very serene. The best time to visit this is in the morning or evening due to the golden hour.

    It is the best place to visit in Delhi. The entire place is well preserved and clean. You can find so many historical places. I would suggest to take a guide in the entrance to understand the structures inside. You can book tickets online to prevent waiting in the queues.

    One of the must visit monuments, it has really amazing vibes there specially the entire greenery and sunset view was something one should consider to. The good thing about this place is unlike Taj Mahal, it is not so crowded.

    This place is such a beauty. No words can describe how beautifully and thoughtfully it is made. The interior, celling everything is top notch. From the architecture point of view it is a masterpiece situated in Delhi. It is also known as Red fort. One of my favorite places to go. You will feel a sense of historic there.

  • 4/5 Shreya C. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a great Historical Place. A nice way to spend your day learning the history and architecture behind the place. Very near to the chaotic Nizamuddin Station and just in front of Sundar Nursery. You won't believe that it is in proximity to such a chaotic place. One can sit in the grass and enjoy the day as well as spend time sketching, reading, photography as well as conversing with friends.

    One of the most impressive site of Mughal Empire and forgotten memories of love, architecture, manuscript, culture and diverse aura of our ancient past. A place where history still breath and flow with rejoice. Monument is well maintained and being upgraded.

    It's nice historical place in the centre of Delhi. It was little crowded on Sunday so I would suggest to visit on Weekdays. Ticket is for Rs.40 for Indian citizens and Ra. 600 for foreigners. Waiting time was around 10 minutes. Place is properly maintained. Bathrooms are neat and clean. There is paid parking outside.

  • 4/5 Jatin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this place on a weekend, bought the tickets online(you should also do the same else you will have to wait for min 30 min in the queue). Parking is before you enter the main road for the tomb (it’s common parking for Humayun Tomb and Sunder Nursery). At entrance you’ll see the lush green lawns and well-manicured flower beds added to the peaceful atmosphere and provided a perfect backdrop for the grand tomb. The complex is huge!! Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes. Carry a water bottle as it gets tiring. It may take an entire day to visit it completely. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone who is interested in Indian history, culture, and architecture. The white marble and red sandstone structure is adorned with intricate carvings, inlaid with precious stones, and surrounded by elegant arches and dome-shaped roofs. The symmetry and balance of the design was truly impressive and reflected the high level of craftsmanship that was typical of Mughal architecture. Inside the tomb, there are the finer details of the design and decor, including the intricate tile work, carved sandstone screens, and painted frescoes. The use of light and shadow within the tomb is also striking, with sunbeams filtering through the small openings and illuminating the interior with a warm glow. The combination of the beautiful

    Could be have a better experience if local guides are available or probably more insight into history. At least any engaging content is made available for tourists. Please carry water bottles with you though water dispenser is available at the entrance but you won't feel like taking a walk back to entrance while enjoying the history. Good place to sit under old trees on bench and enjoy the cold breeze.

  • 4/5 Jehosh C. 3 years ago on Google
    A must visit place in Delhi even if you have an one day itinerary. Popularly referred to as the red Taj mahal. One of the well maintained historical artifacts. Good parking area is available. And I went through a cab Entry tickets are 30 for Indians and 500 for foreigners Looks magnificent and with wide area of gardens - one can easily spend 3 to 4 hours here. Good place to click lots and lots of pictures Timing to visit __________ Also please visit early morning if you are visiting in April may or hot season. The temperature literally kills and you will find it hard to spend quality time there. I couldn't walk much inside the tomb as I was already tired walking. The main structure itself is about 500 m inside. Will be surely visiting again to explore more. Word of caution: I would suggest to take some snacks with you. Cause I didn't find any eateries inside. Only water was available Even outside the premises, I could find only juice and ice cream vendors. Also for the aged and weak persons, please allot a half day for this place, to explore fully.

  • 5/5 Kokila G. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a place of historical importance nestled amid lush green surroundings , gardens ripe with oranges and a plethora of plant species and birds too! The tomb was built by Hamida Banu Begum in the memory of her deceased husband . The tomb is octagonal on outside and square from the inside presenting a beautiful contrast. The charbagh gardens around the tomb are what make the final resting place as Paradise Garden. Edit: Due to COVID the entrance is strictly through online payment not cash.

    The Humayun's Tomb is located near Sunder Nursery. Entry ticket is about 40rs per person and you get a slight discount if you book online. There are many structures within this complex like Isa Khan's tomb, the Neela Gumbad and other smaller structures. The tomb is encased in a sprawling green lawn where you can laze around or read a book. There is also a drinking water facility and public toilets as well.

    1. No need for any introduction to this beautiful mesmerizing world heritage site. You can't miss this monument if you're in Delhi for tourism. 2. The area is huge and consists of huge gardens, gates, mosques and tombs. 3. Neel gumbad is also a part of this. Isa tomb and mosque. The dome is of white marble. It has more than 100+ graves and is a very photogenic place. 4. Visit in the morning for the best view and photos without any disturbance. Ticket price is 30-40rs for Indians

    A nice and tranquil place amidst the city’s fast paced life. Entry fee is nominal and the place isn’t very crowded on weekdays. The gardens are well maintained and the fountains were surprisingly working as well. The building is a beautifully preserved example of Mughal architecture and you can even go inside and climb up to the second floor.

    One of the best place to see in Delhi. You can see most of the foreigners visiting here. This place gives complete historical vibes. The tomb is so huge is mesmerizing. It is so well planned.

    Humayun's Tomb one of the biggest attractions of our capital city is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its sheer magnificence and grandeur. It's situated near Nizamuddin well maintained and restored by ASI. Spread across acres of land in the familiar charbagh design surrounded by smaller tombs like neela gumbad and isa khan tomb. Remains open from sunrise to sunset all days and entry is at nominal fee for Indians/SAARC tourists. Overall a great place to spend some quality time and peep into rich facets of our history.

    Humayun's Tomb is located near Sarai Kala Nizamuddin metro station. You have to take an auto from there to reach this place. The entry ticket for Indians cost just rs 40 per person. There were many marvelous structures present inside. There was a very big garden where you can sit and relax. Outside the premises, there are various vendors selling water, food, and other items. It's good for one time visit but make sure to bring water in these summer times as it takes a fair amount of time here to cover the entire place.

    One of the popular places to visit in Delhi. The entry ticket is INR 35 which you can buy online and offline. On Weekdays this place is less crowded, stays calm and looks more magnificent. Worth visiting solo or with family and friends. Maintenance is good though the stairs leading to the first floor are a bit high and can cause problems for small kids and elderly visitors. Lots to see and wander around on your own. No need for guides.

    Peaceful❤ Peerless Architecture and its scale. Apart from Humayun's tomb, there are other tombs as well, Isa Khan's and Neela Gumbad. This is as beautiful as Taj Mahal. :) One needs atleast 3-4 hours to completely enjoy the beauty of this place. Book your online tickets at ASI's site to avoid rush. Parking available at Humayun's Tomb Complex and as well as Sundar Nursery Parking.

    Built in 1569 this tomb is still very well maintained and beautiful. It is shaid that there are more than 150 small tombs inside the complex of humayuns tomb. Near this complex sarai is another place to visit with isa Khan's tomb. Begums toh is also there with blue marble tomb that is so beautiful that even humayuns tomb is nothing in front of it. I recommend everybody to visit this place once and see themselves how beautiful this place is. I'm going to share few photos of it so you all understand what I'm saying.

    A beautiful site of aesthetic and cultural importance. The inner structure has been marvelously maintained by the Archaeological survey of India. A lot of unnamed tombs lie scattered in the compound. A remarkable work of architecture. Also, it's very easy to get in by paying digitally a trifle amount of INR 30. Parking for motorcycles and cars is outside the premises.

    The buildings and the entire complex are truly magnificent. The architecture is designed with meticulous geometric precision, ensuring that everything maintains its perfect harmony without feeling too stiff. I don’t give 5 stars only because restoration work is required for nearly all of the buildings. However, despite this, it remains one of the standout highlights of our trip in Delhi.

    First things first, buy your tickets online from National Archaeological site. It will help you get easy access to the heritage site. No doubt this place has been added to World’s heritage site. Mughals’ were no doubt amazing at building forts. This tomb is one of the most beautiful fort in India. For so many years, everyone ignored the site and let it ruin, hence you will see there is still lot of beautification happening there. Climb the stairs; stand and watch how amazingly and perfectly this place was built so many years ago. Just amazing. Incredible India!

    Humayun’s Tomb was designed by a Persian architect, Mirak Mirza Ghiyath. 1. It was notably the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent with beautiful causeways and channels. 2. Humayun’s Tomb has earned the status of being a landmark in the expansion of Mughal architecture. 3. UNESCO declared the tomb a World Heritage Site in 1993.

    Humayun's tomb  is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum), in 1558, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad, Persian architects chosen by her. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah Citadel, also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun found in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete. Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.

    For Indian tourists they will charge 40rs per head. If you will buy online tickets that will be very convincing. On weekends you may face little rush.

    We always prefer the Taj Mahal as a symbol of Love as it was built by a man for his love. Whether it's Chittorgarh fort, Roopmati Pavilion, or Bibi ka Maqbara, one thing we can find similar in these monuments is that they were built by men for women. There are plenty of structures built by men for their loved ones but we merely hear about any structure built by a woman for a man. Well, there are many monuments built by women for their men like Lokeshwar Temple, Rani ki Vav, Humayun's tomb, and many more. We mostly don't consider them as a symbol of love as we still see things from a patriarchal perspective. It's not our fault it's just, that's how we grew up which resulted in our ignorance towards many stories from the female perspective. The story of Humayun's tomb is one of them that didn't get as much attention as it deserves. This story is about a wife's love for her late husband. Bega Begum was known as Zan-i-Kalan being the first wife of Humayun and was also known as Haji Begum after she performed the Hajj pilgrimage. After the death of her husband Humayun in 1556 due to his fall from the staircase of his library at Purana Qila in Delhi. Bega Begum was so grieved over her husband's death that she refused to shift to Agra with his stepson, Akbar, and decided to dedicate her life to a sole purpose, the construction of the most magnificent mausoleum in the Mughal Empire with the Charbagh (Garden of Paradise) as mentioned in Quran. She also brought 300 Arabs from Mecca to pray for the Humayun's soul. One can still find some ruins and a huge gate called Arab ki Sarai. The construction of the tomb started in 1565 and was completed by 1572 AD with monetary support from her stepson, Akbar. for which Begum hired Mirak Mirza Ghiyas for giving shape to the exquisite designs she had in mind. However, after the death of Mirza Ghiyas, the final structure was completed by his son, Sayyed Muhammad ibn Mirak. The sheer scale of Humayun’s tomb is considered a departure from his father, the first Mughal Emperor Babur’s modest mausoleum in Kabul. Although, it was with Babur that the trend of the garden mausoleum or the Persian Charbagh took root, and got enhanced with every passing generation. The tomb at 47 meters is built in Persian style and is also the first Indian structure to incorporate the Persian double dome that is 42.5 meters high where the outer structure supports the marble exterior and the inner one leads into the cavernous interiors. The attractive huge jaalis and stone latticework can be seen in the tomb for the sunlight. And beneath this white dome lies an octagonal burial chamber with a single cenotaph, that of Mughal Emperor Humayun. Besides, this, the mausoleum complex became the graveyard for the emperor's successors, princes, and princesses including Dara Shikoh and Bega Begum who is buried near her husband. Later, it became the inspection for many Mughal architectural marvels including the Taj Mahal.

    Took a trip to Humayun's Tomb, Nizamuddin last week. It's magnificent and the magnitude gets you. I can't get over the beautiful symmetry of the monument. Such perfection, built in 16 th century. There are other smaller tombs which are even older. This is the perfect weather in Delhi. In cricketing terms it was a glorious day, bright winter sun, blue blue sky. Sharing a few pictures

    Humayun's Tomb stands as a testament to architectural brilliance, captivating visitors with its intricate design and historical significance. The lush green gardens enveloping the main structure are a superbly maintained oasis, enhancing the overall ambiance. The convenience of an online ticket booking system streamlined my visit, ensuring a hassle-free entry. Navigating the expansive campus revealed meticulous upkeep, showcasing the dedication to preserving this cultural treasure. Parking, conveniently located nearby, offered ample space, eliminating any concerns about finding a spot for my vehicle.

    Nice place to visit. Ticket cost is 40 rupees for an Indian and for foreigners the cost is around 500-600 Indian rupees. You can pay online as well. If you pay online the ticket will cost you 35 rupees (for Indians). You can get the essence of old time (1570s). It is well preserved. So overall experience here is nice.

    It’s one of the must see sightseeing spots in Delhi. I wasn’t very impressed by the way it was maintained. The lawns were not manicured and there was litter around. The building needs to be looked after too … no guides were visible so I guess one of the spots where you read up and go. We did a quick 1 hour trip and left. Overall a great architectural style and monument from the Mughal era. Tickets £6 for non Indians

    Do not damage the property in any way and avoid carving names on the monument because the ancient structures are one of a kind and we as citizens need to understand the importance of preserving such architectural marvels.

    Humayun’s Tomb entry timing: The visit to the tomb is allowed from sunrise to sunset on all days but the best time to visit is between 08:00 am and 06:00 pm. Maqbera e Humayun or the Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi is a major historical site in India and also one of the best places to visit in north Delhi. It is the tomb of the famous Mughal emperor of India Humayun. It was commissioned by the first wife of Humayun who was the chief consort as well, Empress Bega Begum in 1569-70. The design of the tomb was born in the heart of Mirak Mirza Ghiyas- a persial architect invited by Bega Begum herself. Humayun’s Tomb entry fee: Indian citizens and the visitors from SAARC and BIMSTEC countries have to pay Rs.10 to enter the tomb while for other foreign nationals, it is Rs.250 per person. Children up to the age of 15 need not pay an entry fee. Humayun’s Tomb location: Opposite Dargah Nizamuddin, Mathura Road, New Delhi, Delhi 110013. Insider Tips: -Visit the tomb during the early hours or late hours of a day during summer as the mid time will be very hot. -Khan Market Metro station is the nearest metro station and it is the easiest way to reach the structure. Hire a tuk tuk to cover the last 2.5 kilometers to the tomb.

    Huamyun's tomb is quite an interesting place as the entrance is quite simple and cosy. But if you do not notice carefully, you might miss the interesting part on the inner side of the area. Do not forget to notice the google map, as it clearly indicates the entire place properly and will help you out while you roam around such a nice historic place.

    It's one of the most beautiful monuments. Historians say that if you can't see the Taj Mahal then this is the next best thing and I completely agree. This is one of the most beautiful designed monuments in India. The contrast of the marble and sand stone is brilliant. The whole complex is amazing with trees as old as the main structure. Mostly well maintained.

    The tomb itself is a massive red sandstone structure, with a white marble dome and intricate carvings throughout. The interior is also impressive, with a large central chamber and several smaller chambers. The tomb is the final resting place of Humayun, his wife, and several other members of the Mughal dynasty. Pros: Stunning architecture Beautiful garden complex Well-maintained Peaceful atmosphere Good for photos Educational experience Cons: Can be crowded, especially on weekends and holidays Entry fee is higher for foreigners than for locals Food and drink options are limited inside the complex

    A clean, green and serene place in the middle of the city. Truly grand at scale that can’t be imagined from its photos/videos. Easy to reach from JLN metro station(the nearest), there are absolutely no prearrangements required. Can scan and pay for tickets at the entry(Prices are different for weekdays and weekend). Carry essential food/water as there is no kiosk/eateries inside the complex. Washroom facility is available. Guards double down as guides and happy to share what they know about history. Maps/artefacts/stories have been maintained to make it historically interesting. The best part is access to first floor of the main tomb(huge open area with great visibility, ideal for winters). Rich artistic roof work and intricate wall angles make it an architectural marvel. People not comfortable with steep stairs and long walks may want to avoid. Ideal for dates, families, shoots, and spending quiet quality time. Overall, a fulfilling 2 hour place:)

    OMG what an amazing and Enchanting experience !!! First off all A Huge thank you to the #AghaKhantrust for restoring this exquisite monumental work of Art and Spirituality !!! A must See !!! Created during the period of High Renaissance in Europe: Humayun's Palatial Tomb is Jaw droppingly Beautiful!!! Far more exquisite than the #Tajmahal and the Feeling of serenity is Phenomenal!!! Based on the Principles of the Ancient Pyramid the tomb and the sunken gardens ( which were painstakingly Restored to thier original intention) leave you with a sense of Awe and inner peace !! He ( Emperor Humayun) must have been quite a Monarch; the work of the craftsmen is Unparalleled!!! GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY !!! one visit is Not enough !!! Two thing were Dispointing and both them concern #ASI ( Archeological survey of India). The monument comes directly under thier care. 1) there are No trained Guides to hire to take us around and explain to us in detail ( thanks to the #AGHAKHANtrust for putting up signs all around to give us brief descriptions) Having professional Guides could provide an amazing employment to several people older and young. 2) The really ugly scaffolding put by #ASI around the monument so one cant even tell where the entrance to the monument is was extremely disappointing Not even basic signs guiding the visitor ???). OverAll this site deserves the best of accolades and so happy to see that future generations will be able.to appreciate it as well !!!

    The splendour of this monument becomes evident on entering the grandiose double-storeyed gateway. High rubble walls enclose a square garden divided into four large squares separated by causeways and water channels. Each square is divided again into smaller squares by pathways, forming a typical Mughal garden called Charbagh. The fountains were worked with simple yet highly developed engineering skills quite common in India during this period. The last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar II had taken refuge in this tomb during the first War of Independence in 1857. Several rulers of the Mughal dynasty lie buried here. Humayun's wife is buried here too. The main sarcophagus stands in the central hall, oriented - in accordance with Muslim practice - on the north-south axis. Traditionally, the body is placed with the head to the north, the face turned sideways towards Mecca. The dome is what is called a full dome, a complete semi-circle which is a special feature of Mughal architecture. The structure is built with red sandstone, but white and black marble has been used in the borders.

    मुगल शासन के दौरान दिल्ली में निर्मित सबसे शानदार मकबरों में से एक, हुमायूँ का मकबरा फारसी वास्तुकला का एक उत्कृष्ट उदाहरण है। हुमायूँ की मृत्यु के नौ साल बाद उसकी विधवा हमीदा बानो बेगम ने हुमायूँ की मृत्यु के 15 साल बाद कमीशन किया था। लाल बलुआ पत्थर से निर्मित, हुमायूँ का मकबरा भारत में निर्मित होने वाला पहला उद्यान शैली मकबरा था। हुमायूँ का मकबरा चारबाग शैली के केंद्र में खड़ा है जो चैनलों द्वारा जुड़े पूलों के साथ पूरा है। मुख्य द्वार अगर मकबरा दक्षिण की तरफ से है, हालांकि पश्चिम की तरफ से भी एक और प्रवेश द्वार है। हुमायूँ का मकबरा अन्य मुग़ल मकबरों के लिए एक प्रारंभिक उदाहरण के रूप में कार्य करता था, जो समय के साथ बनाए गए थे, जैसे कि सिकंदर में अकबर का मकबरा, तुगलकाबाद में घियास-उद-दीन तुगलक का मकबरा, लोदी गार्डन और ताज में सिकंदर लोदी का मकबरा महल। हुमायूं के मकबरे में वास्तुशिल्प की विशेषताएं देखी जा सकती हैं, जो समय के साथ मुगल वास्तुकला का महत्वपूर्ण घटक बन गई, जैसे कि इसकी अष्टकोणीय आकृति और इसके उच्च केंद्रीय मेहराब। हुमायूँ के अलावा, मकबरा उनकी पत्नी हमीदा बहू बेगम, शाहजहाँ के पुत्र दारा शिकोह और शाही परिवार के अन्य प्रमुख मुगलों का अंतिम विश्राम स्थल भी है। यूनेस्को की विश्व धरोहर स्थल, हुमायूँ का मकबरा, दोपहर में सबसे अच्छा दौरा किया जाता है, यदि आप इमारत के कुछ खूबसूरत दृश्यों को प्राप्त करना चाहते हैं। ओपनिंग क्लोजिंग टाइम सूर्योदय से सूर्यास्त तक प्रवेश शुल्क Rs.10 (भारतीय) Rs.250 (विदेशी) स्थान मथुरा रोड, निजामुद्दीन दरगाह के सामने।

    Beautiful place. You would get to see History and heritage through those big doors and walls of the tomb. Visit to have a peaceful day with your friends or loved ones. I really loved the greenery and lavishly maintained gardens that's around the main tomb. For some people it could be very boring to just roam around this old monument so i would suggest to choose your company carefully. Me anyways had a lovely time visiting the place. To reach here you can get a 20 rupees auto or rickshaw from the Sarai kalan Khan metro station.🍁

    An extremely wonderful spot to visit with Friends Family and love ones. Visit just in great climate. There are such countless burial chambers of renowned individuals inside similar premises. Be that as it may, primary burial place is of Humayun and it is in the focal point of principle building. Encircled by lavish green nursery. In any case, the exhibition hall is little and not all around kept up. This is a chronicled where lies the late Mughal head. The effortlessness of this burial place will stand up the idea of his scholarly psyche. The compound is additionally excellent with water bodies, trees and blossoms. It resembles a family grave with a few of his kinfolk being covered here around him. Just trouble is the step move to arrive at his burial chamber. it is high and extremely steep. Passage ticket is 30Rs/Person for Indian vacationers and 500/Person for Foreigners. Opening Time : 06:00 AM Closing Time : 06:00 PM Open : Daily Closed on open occasions

    This place used to be so much better before, all the water canals used to be filled with clear and clean water to rest in a summer's afternoon. Even in chilly weather the vibe used to hit different, its just not worth it anymore. No attractive waterfalls, even the name on qabars are not mentioned. Those are the qabars of warriors and kings.

    Humayun’s Tomb is an architectural masterpiece of the Mughal civilization in India. It is the resting place of Humayun, the second emperor of the Mughal Empire, who ruled India from 1530 to 1556. Humayun’s Tomb was built in 1558 by his first wife and chief consort, Bega Begum, with the help of two Persian architects, Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and one of the finest examples of the Mughal style of architecture. Humayun’s Tomb was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. Humayun’s Tomb is located in a large garden, divided into four parts by paths and water channels. This garden is called Char Bagh, a type of Persian garden that symbolizes paradise. The tomb is built on a raised platform of 7 meters, made of red and white sandstone. The tomb is 47 meters high and 91 meters wide, while the double domes of white marble are 42.5 meters high. The tomb is square in shape, with four small towers at the corners. On top of the main dome there is a copper cage, representing the Islamic star. Inside the tomb there is a spacious hall, with many small rooms containing the tombs of family members and relatives of Humayun. The main tomb of Humayun is in the center, surrounded by a marble fence. This tomb is decorated with precious stones and has a floor made of pietra dura technique. This tomb also has lattice windows to allow light and air circulation. Humayun’s Tomb is not only a beautiful architectural work, but also a symbol of history and culture of India. Humayun’s Tomb witnessed important events in Mughal history, such as the war of succession among Humayun’s sons, or the birth of Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. Humayun’s Tomb also inspired many later architectural works, such as Safdarjung’s Tomb or Akbar’s Tomb.

    Humayun's Tomb is a famous building in Delhi that showcases amazing architecture and has great historical importance. It has beautiful gardens surrounding it that are well taken care of and create a peaceful atmosphere. Booking tickets online made it easy for me to visit without any hassle. The entire campus is well maintained, showing how much effort is put into preserving this cultural treasure. Parking nearby was convenient and there was enough space for vehicles. The tomb itself is a large structure made of red sandstone, with a white marble dome and detailed carvings all around. Inside, there is a big central chamber and some smaller rooms. It is the final resting place of Emperor Humayun, his wife, and other members of the Mughal dynasty. Humayun's Tomb holds great significance because it is the first tomb of a Mughal emperor ever built in India. It is a magnificent example of Persian architecture, which influenced Mughal architecture. The tomb was built in 1565 AD by Humayun's senior widow, Bega Begam, nine years after his death. Overall, Humayun's Tomb is a unique and popular tourist attraction in Delhi. It combines beautiful architecture, well-maintained gardens, and visitor-friendly amenities to create an enriching experience for history lovers and casual visitors alike.

    Last Saturday on my anniversary I visited this place to refresh d golden reminisces of my life.doubtless,this is d most beautiful monument of Mughal era I think.an epitome of mughal architecture .huge lavish entrance,lush green park and beautiful dome which cannot be described in words.it is told that Taj Mahal is solely inspired by the humayu tomb the only difference is the colour of marbles which is used. You can spend whole day here but night visit I wll not recommend bcoz there is no proper lighting n security for visitors.there should b special security arrangements for night visit.

    It is an incredibly beautiful, peaceful space to be in the admist of a very busy city. The gardens are really spacious, with plenty of buildings to explore dotted around. It was lovely to see peacocks surrounding the space. Staff were friendly and even when busy there are still places for quiet contemplation.

    Humayun’s Tomb is a gem in Delhi. The serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings make it a peaceful retreat. You can sit in the lawn and cherish the mesmerising view. A truly delightful experience that I would recommend to anyone seeking tranquility amidst historical beauty. Some areas could be better maintained, and it’s disheartening to see people littering despite multiple dustbins inside. Please do not to litter, especially at historical places. Paid parking is available for Bikes and Cars.

    It's a nice place to visit and to have a great time . The entry ticket is 40 for Indian and 600 for foreigners. And for photographer and videographer it's a very good place . You can easily spent 1 to 2 hours inside and clicking pictures. And the pictures wil be worth it ...

    1. Please do not buy tickets online if you’re using iOS. The tickets don’t get delivered. 2. It is a MUST VISIT tourist attraction that misses usual lists. 3. It is open until 9PM. Humayun’s tomb is vast, spread across a huge area with other tombs like the Isa Khan Tomb. It’s very well maintained, rather it is very well restored and has enough information written all around to get an understanding of the place. If you’d like a better feel of the history, it is recommended to get a tour guide.
