Marvel at Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar

Delhi's two UNESCO World Heritage sites are among its most beautiful and peaceful. Humayun's Tomb, a magnificent Mughal garden-tomb of red sandstone and white marble, is widely regarded as the architectural forerunner of the Taj Mahal, and far quieter. The towering Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world, dates back over 800 years and stands amid atmospheric ancient ruins. Both charge modest entry fees and reward an unhurried visit. We'll suggest the best times to go and how to pair them with other nearby sights.
