One of Delhi's most famous landmarks, The Red Fort dates back to the 17th Century and comprises of a complex of many buildings constructed by the Moghal Emperor Shah Jahan.
The Red Fort is located in what is known as Old Delhi and the area opposite is well worth a visit. On leaving the main street area it rapidly becomes a warren of crazily narrow, winding streets full of the constant buzz of Delhi life. It's a good idea to get a guide, and there are plenty around the Fort vying for business. So with some haggling a price is agreed and we're off on his pedal rickshaw. My guide was very good and took me into all sorts of secluded spots that I would never have found on my own.
