One of the most iconic and breathtaking landmarks in Delhi! The architecture is absolutely stunning, with intricate details that showcase the rich history and artistry of Mughal design. The view from the minaret is incredible, offering a panoramic glimpse of Old Delhi. It’s a peaceful and spiritual place, perfect for reflection. Highly recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds and truly soak in the beauty and serenity. A must-visit for history and culture enthusiasts!

For a delicious and rich experience for the foodie under your skin, Jama Masjid and the nearby eateries is a must have experience. I have visited many times and yet I get amused by how flavourful this place is. There are many shops which serves delicious food at a very considerate rate and if you are visiting Delhi, this place is a must have in your itinerary.

Beautiful monument. Went around 10 and found it so peaceful. For minaret, there is a seperate ticket otherwise it's free. If you go around namaz time you won't be able to explore each and every section. Try to go in free timings. Like from 10- 12 there won't be any prayers.
