Two-Day Family Itinerary for Delhi and Agra in July 2023

  1. Day 1: Red Fort
    15 minutes (3.5km) from Delhi Airport

    The Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a massive fortification built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The fort served as the residence of the Mughal emperors for almost 200 years. In the morning, explore the fort's impressive architecture and learn about the Mughal Empire's history. In the afternoon, walk around Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, and sample some of Delhi's famous street food. In the evening, catch the sound and light show at the fort, which narrates the story of the Mughal dynasty.
