Red Fort Reviews
  Delhi Must-See Jul 30, 2008
Named for the reddish hue of the bricks made from local mud, this facinating site dates back to the 1600s. With very obvious architecural similarities to the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort gives the visitor some insight as to how powerful the Mogul Empire was. With impressive walls and battlements standard with a wide moat, you will be awe-struck at the size of the fort. As expected, late in history the fort was taken over by the British Empire and later used as a barracks for the Indian Army following India's independance in 1947. Inside of its walls, you can see buildings stretching back to the Moguls (including the emporer's throne) as well as "newer" additions built by the British and modern Indian Army. Get here early in the morning as after 10am it will pack up and heat up quickly.

Red Fort Nov 10, 2007
The red fort is spectacular and in the heart of Delhi. You cant miss it. Be prepared for long lines but it definately is worth the wait. Fare is relitively cheap
