A wonderful place to visit. Take a break from the busy hectic life and enjoy some quality time in here. Beautiful landscapes and gardens with ancient structures. A must visit place to go and cherish.

It is an awesome place to visit specially in winter and rainy season. You will get an amazing view of Qutub Minar and its surroundings are just mind blowing. You can easily spent whole day with your family friends and with nature.

Multisegmented minaret ...each with its unique design and geometry......the view from up-close reveals the craftsmanship...the intricacies and patience needed to raise this red sandstone / granite structure 10 centuries back is mind-boggling......

Nice place to hang out.35 Rs per person for entry if u pay via online modeJust scan QR code you will be directed to website and as required.Evening is the one the best time to explore as there are less people around .You easily click best moments and have much more privacy there.And you can roam upto 8:30 pm. They say upto 8:00 pm but you can upto 8:30pm

One of the good place in delhi to visit. A good piece of architect .it has very clever guards which will help u to take photos but give them some tip. Thank you.

I visited Qutb Minar with my college friends, entry fee was low and we started clicking selfies as we went inside the complex.It is accessible by Metro and Bus, Qutb Minar has well cleaned complex and lush green lawns.We saw a lot of foreigners along with local guides who were gaining knowledge about Indian History, I too got some great clicks shot at the Monument.Its a great place to visit, whether you want to spend time with family or friends, its one of the best places in Delhi to hangout.It closes at 5pm so once has to be a bit early in his/her visit.It’s good to visit in Winters as Delhi becomes too hot in summers.I traveled from Huda City Center in the Metro and it took me around 30 min to reach Qutb Minar metro station.It has ample number of shops at the entry point so one doesn’t have to worry about food and water.Safety could be a concern for someone visiting for the first time as some people would try to get your money by telling you that their family has lost their homes or they missed the train and then they will try to make you emotional for their poverty.Better stay away from any malicious person or group of persons.I dont recommend visiting it during the weekends as it becomes too crowded but during normal week days.Overall I had a great experience and its a nice place to hangout.

After many years visiting India regurlarly for business I finally visited this place in Delhi. Absolutely worth your time. Historically it is full interesting things plus territory is big enough to have a walk and rest in the park. As anywhere in India be aware that even security becoming guides and photographers :)

The called Qutub Minar Complex is certainly a destroyed Vishnu Temple.The same can be easily understood once you carefully see the architecture and the inscriptions on the walls of the complex. Although the real history of this place is never revealed fully, it doesnt take away the charm of this place. A must visit place if you are in Delhi.Children should b taken here without fail

Amazing place to spend your evening 🥰.Quite peaceful.And also a great archeological site in delhi.Come before sunset and stay upto 8 pm to see both night beauty and sunset 🌇 beauty of this beautiful complex.I was lucky because the day I visited some Polands delegates came to visit Qutub Minar complex so special light arrangements were made to illuminate Qutub Minar in Polands National colour to mark 40th anniversary of Solidarity Movement. (30th August 2020)Tickets are available both online and also at the gate SCAN and instant PAY method.

What is Qutub Minar famous for? A: Qutub Minar is one of the highest minarets in India with a height of 73 metres. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tallest brick minaret in the world. This 12th-century minaret is considered as the earliest Islamic structure in India with both Arabic and Brahmi inscriptions.

Qutab Minar is definitely an wonder, not only for its architecture, but more for the fact that the slaves could be the rulers. Its an inspiration for every common citizen that our fate lies in our own hands. We dont need any magic to achieve something, we, only we, can create wonders.

History is known to all. Started by Qutub-ud-din-Aibak completed by Iltutmish

Kutub Minar is a must visiting place in Delhi city.it has a metro station by its name in nearby.Multiple Archiological monument and tomb are here as iltutmish and khilji.

Ticket:- 40₹ (30-01-2021) for IndianIf you are in delhi, must visit Qutub Minar. Qutub Minar built in the early 13th century a few kilometres south of Delhi, the red sandstone tower of Qutb Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 2.75 m in diameter at its peak to 14.32 m at its base, and alternating angular and rounded flutings.The surrounding archaeological area (campus) contains funerary buildings, notably the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built in 1311), and two mosques, including the Quwwatul-Islam, the oldest in northern India, built of materials reused from some 20 Brahman temples, a 7.3 meters tall Iron Pillar stands in the middle of an empty square in the Qutb Complex, which also houses the jaw-dropping Qutb Minar, in Mehrauli.But take a closer look and you will see why this pillar is one of the most enigmatic structures in India. Made of iron, it should have turned into a pile of rust a long time ago, considering its age – it is 1,600 years old – and exposure to Delhi’s heat, dust, cold and rains.

A sprawling garden complex. Well known for its history, architecture and beautiful gardens. This place is for those wanting to take a walk in the bylanes of history again. And at the same time spend some time with friends and family. A must visit during pleasant weather.

Its one of must visit place and its one of the famous tourist attractions in New Delhi. Though it was closed for a while due to pandemic, we can enjoy the view and architecture of the beautiful Qutub Minar from outside. But as the number of people visiting increased, If the authorities take necessary actions and clear the shop upto around half a kilometre radius only for public viewing it would be more attractive and beautiful.

Nice place for spending quality time there but gets a little busy on occasions

The Qutub Minar a 72.5 meters tall tower which completes Qutub Complexe. It is said to be built by Qutub-ud-din-aibak in 1193 after the defeat of Pritviraj Chauhan. Still you can easly find Hindu sculptures, Hindu temple pillers, designs of flowers, temple bells and several Hindu artifacts. This place definitely need more research.

UNESCO World Heritage site.. qutub minar. This is a second time when I went there. Yellow metro / qutub minar station is nearest Metro station. Entry fee for Indians is ₹ 35/-.

One of the important historical monuments in India 🇮🇳 and one which I was waiting to see from my school days. Has an amazing history regarding the building, renovations. Interestingly this one is built after destroying some 27 hindu and Jain temples. This was built to mark the beginning of Delhi sulatanateMode of transport - there is a bus stop right in front of the compound. however we went there by a cab as we dont understand hindi and its easy to manage a cab driver with English.Best time to visit : winter season. We made the mistake of visiting there in May month. 😭 Scorching heat literally kills you. Couldnt stay there for more than 10 minutes.Attraction: the complex has multiple small buildings which we didnt bother about much. We just took photograph in front of the main Minar. If its a cool climate, we can surely go and roam around muchMust -Water bottles and sun glasses.Irony - people are not allowed inside the minar as in olden days due to some freak accidents in the pastAnd the ticket counter guys are not so well versed In English. Govt needs to take care of this.Ticket prices are cheaper online. 35rs per person.Once you come outside, you can see people thronging for something cool as the weather is too hot.

Awesome place to visit.... Its all ruined but its a good place to visit in morning or evening for pic 😜.... The tickets are given opposite to the Heritage site which is little inconvenient and are given through scan and pay for contact less which is good although

It was a great experience here....to see the dynamic history and culture of our country.There was also the famous iron pillar here...which till date doesnt get rusted.Also there are spaces for gardens and its a beautiful place to visit.🙌🎊🎊🎊🎊The beaut it reflects at night was just incomparable.Tickets available easily.A must visit place for all.

In our trip to New Delhi this was my favourite spot. The architecture is gorgeous and it is a photographers dream. I would recommend that anyone staying in Delhi get out and see this site.It is worth paying a guide to get some of the history of the site as there are lots of little details that you might miss.i hope my review and photos are helpful for you guys do like if u like itThank you guys

What to say about this place💖💖 Qutub minar is always a favourite place to hangout and enjoy even solo. This place is best to discribe words like beautiful, historic and calm. Although it is almost every time crowded still one can find place to sit calmly and peacefully meditate or just sit just like that. It has five superposed storeys. The lowest three comprise fluted  shafts or columns of pale red sandstone, separated by flanges and by storeyed balconies. The fourth column is of marble, and is relatively plain. The fifth is of marble and sandstone. The flanges are a darker red sandstone throughout, and are engraved with Quranic texts and decorative elements. The whole tower contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps.

Were able to view the site very peaceful. Quick entry and nice weather made things better. Its an amazing work and heritage.

The quality of the guide has to improve. All what he knew was already engraved on the stone slabs of the area.Though the washrooms were clean but the A.S.I. should ensure that the liquid soap and paper tissues are there at all times and considering we have Covid 19 all around is a must.Rest the place is nice with green gardens and nice pathways

The place is well maintained, organised and clean. There is check in and check out with the online ticket. The place is a beautiful amalgamation of Indian and Arabic architecture. And peacefully located in the heart of the city. Gardens are breathtaking!!

I love this place I had click so many pictures at there

Its a historical place and I would advise must visit once atleast if you are fond of monuments and interested in historical architecture.

Nice place to visit....u will get best pics here ....there is also availability of tourists ...it will cost rupee 35 for entry and 500 for foreigners.... There is also availability of buses and autos ...u cant carry any food with u...u will get knowledge about indian kings ♥️💯

Delhi’s Qutub Minar is a five-storied structure constructed over four centuries by a number of rulers. It was originally commissioned by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who was the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, around 1192 as a victory tower. The minaret is named after him; although he wasn’t able to build it beyond the first story. His successor Shams-ud-din Iltutmish added three more floors to the structure in 1220. Its topmost story suffered damages in 1369 due to lightning. It was reconstructed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, who added the fifth and final story to the tower while the entrance to Qutub Minar was built by Sher Shah Suri.

One of cleanest place to visit. Ancient love 🥰

This is a cool place its smaller then other monument but couple and family can try this place. Photography wise also you can try this one. Better to visit on evenight.

As usual, I dont know how to explain this place. So Im sharing some images.

The Qutub Minar is a towering 73 meter high tower built by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak in 1193. This tower is the highest tower in India, complete with five storeys and projecting balconies. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tallest brick minaret in the world. It was constructed as a grand monument to celebrate the defeat of the last Hindu ruler of Delhi and the establishment of Muslim Dominance. Built-in red sandstone, Qutub Minar is a real masterpiece of Mughal Islamic craftsmanship.

The Qutub Minar, as it stands today, is a 72.5-metre fluted sandstone tower with copious marble inlays. Projecting balconies separate five successive stories, each of which is marked by bands of richly carved inscriptions from the Quran.

The origins of Qutab Minar are shrouded in controversy. Some believe it was erected as a tower of victory to signify the beginning of the Muslim rule in India. Others say it served as a minaret to the muezzins to call the faithful to prayer.No one can, however, dispute that the tower is not only one of the finest monuments in India, but also in the world. Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1200 AD, but could only finish the basement. His successor, Iltutmush, added three more storeys, and in 1368, Firoz Shah Tughlak constructed the fifth and the last storey.The development of architectural styles from Aibak to Tughlak is quite evident in the minar. The relief work and even the materials used for construction differ. The 238 feet Qutab Minar is 47 feet at the base and tapers to nine feet at the apex. The tower is ornamented by bands of inscriptions and by four projecting balconies supported by elaborately decorated brackets. Even though in ruins, the Quwwat Ui Islam (Light of Islam) Mosque in the Qutab complex is one of the most magnificent structures in the world. Qutab-ud-din Aibak started its construction in 1193 and the mosque was completed in 1197.Iltutmush in 1230 and Alla-ud-din Khilji in 1315 made additions to the building. The main mosque comprises of an inner and outer courtyard,decorated with shafts and surrounded by piller. Most of these shafts are from the 27 Hindu temples, which were plundered to construct the mosque. It is, therefore, not surprising that the Muslim mosque has typical Hindu ornamentation. Close to the mosque is one of Delhis most curious antiques, the Iron Pillar.

This place has a rich history. This is the best historical place in terms of arts and education. Worlds longest brick tower in the world.Nearest Metro- QUTAB MINARHere attaching some photos for your reference.

This is the emblem of India. By every means, its a wonderful place. Everything here is an evidence of thousands of stories of the great Sultani era.The place is clean but with healthy crowds. But, still is a great scope of showing your photography skills. The car parking is very much spacious. Its a better idea to book your entry tickets online in advance to avoid the queue at ticket counter as well as save a few odd bucks.Dont forget to visit this place in the twilight session - it will show you how beautiful a sunset might be.

A must see to understand the history & culture.

Qutub Minar is one of the highest minarets in India with a height of 73 metres.Around 1192, Qutub-ud-Din Aibak envisioned Qutub Minar, but he only got to complete the basement. The construction was later taken over by his successor Iltutmish who constructed three more stories of the tower. Firoz Shah Tuglak constructed the last two storeys. The tower was built as a victory monument to celebrate the Muslim dominance over Delhi after the defeat of the last Hindu ruler - Prithviraj Chauhan.Finally visited this historic place. A entry free of 35 Rs. is charged. The tickets can be booked online also.

Qutub minar!!Climbing up is closed from a few years backBut it’s an excellent architecture.Views and gardens there are awesome. So relaxing!The broken parts of the building there are mesmerising and so scenic.Also the iron pillar of Ashoka dynasty is there standing 7 metres tall with the slowest iron rusting in world.

Great Architecture, Historical Place giving a glimpse to the Mughal Era with many tombs and Iron Pillar...Nowadays you can scan the QR from outside and generate an e ticket which is around Rs. 35 for adult,,,Restroom is there at the right end as you enter from the main gate...A very nice area for a good photoshoot and to have a nice walk...For reaching take the Yellow Line Metro for Huda City Centre and you can disembark either at Saket Metro Station or Qutub Minar Station...

The normal website doesnt work.Found a guide inside and he gave us a quick 30 minute tour for 200 rupees.In comparison to other precolonial Delhi monuments, this one is the most impressive in my opinion. The designs on the facades and interior are amazing. Dont miss this if you are in Delhi.

Qutub Minar is the tallest minaret in the world made of bricks. It is named after Qutub Din Aibek or Hazrat Qutb ud din Bakhtiyar kaki Delhi RA. It is located near Mahruli Village of Delhi.

Beautifully made incredible architecture good place for family and for everyone.

Great ancient monument! Ideal season to visit this place is winter. We visited during December end and enjoyed with less crowd. It has a strong iron pillar inside the compound without any rusts and lasting for so many years. Amazing architecture which reflects uniqueness of Mughals.Place is well maintained and managed by friendly staffs. Online reservation is preferred to avoid long Queue.

If you are looking to spend quality time with family/friends, then Qutub is a great place to visit. Please, Go and see how beautiful is old Architecture of India. Outside Qutub there are plenty of ñice small scale restaurants where you can eat. All in all you can spend good 5-6hrs at Qutub.

Im not a professional photographer but i love to explore and clicking pictures. Here i found some good surrounding and great environment for family outing. Child friendly place to visit.Best location for school educational trips on monuments.

In addition to its historical importance, qutub minar is a famous destination for cyclists. You will find many cyclists reaching the complex early morning.You can visit the complex 7AM onwards

Awesome place. I spent quite a good amount of time carefully reading through the details and trying to map the whole time of history. A must see for Indians as well as tourists visiting India. I can post pictures but none of them will do justice to the grandeur of the actual structure. Visit and experience the wonder.

Beautiful place full of picturesque scenes. Ruins are great here. If you are going by public transport, Its nearby Hauz khas and qutub minar metro station. Entry Tickets are available online. You can scan and pay on the spot.

What an amazing landmark! This is the world highest stone minaret surrounded by ruins of monuments and tombs.I really enjoyed walking about reading the signs that explain the history. They keep it very clean and the facilities are well maintained. Would highly recommend a visit!

Amazing monument built by Indians. I am sure it is not built by so called Muslim ruler. The ancient dieties are clearly visible everywhere. The mosque built there is no where fitting in the architectures design...

Astounding experience, very nice guide who gave some in depth knowledge about the history of the place and also some great photo spots, bookings to be done online

Great architecture!Qutub minar is a great place to visit.Buying tickets is easy, especially for non-Indians.It is a serene spot and the surrounding area is ideal for picnics and strolling.Worth a visit.

One of my last stops on a full day of sightseeing. The Qutub Minar or Victory tower is impressive, I think I appreciated some of the construction work being done in between the parking lot and grounds as much as the site. There are lots of ruins that surround the tower, making for several photo ops. I spent about an hour here but it would be easy to spend more. Admission was 550 rupees with a credit card, 600 cash and valid through sunset.

Historical Monument built over decades. Has many other monuments around it. Good place to be around.

Nice place to visit specially at night if you are a photographer... You will get beautiful night shots over here.

I was amazed at the structure, the ruins, and the aura around the whole place. If you know some bit of our history, you can connect it to the place and the awe just doubles. The prices are not so high, its 40 of you pay cash and 35 if you paid by card. You can take to r time to see every bit of the monuments, the ruined stones tell a great tale of history. Just make sure you dont come in summer as it will be unbelievably hot. I visited the place in Feb., It was the perfect weather with mild sun and chill breeze.

Its very nice place and its amazing meenar of india!

Loved the tower, great symmetry, old ruins like the acropylis, great photo opportunities, love the archways, interesting

Atmosphere was niceTicket counter is closed have to use Paytm best part is if u walk with someone very special will gives you peace of mind ♥️♥️

The Qutub Minar in Delhi is a towering landmark which never fails to fascinate visitors. And why not! After all, it’s not every day that you come across an architectural masterpiece that boasts of being the world’s tallest brick tower and has remained so for more than 800 years.

This is a very old heritageHere is a sample of very good workmanship & arts

Such an amazing historical monument. I have no words to describe its beauty. You have to see it to believe it. The intricacy and the strong foundation on which it is built is what makes it so breathtakingly beautiful. I loved it. This is one of the places you need to see before you die.

Historic monument. You can just imagine how Indian artists made this masterpiece without modern gadgets, machines and science.

Heaven for photographers and photo maniacs.Nice peaceful location and gardens. Often crowded however never inconvenient.Easy to reach by metro or bus.Nearest metro : Qutub minar.

Awesome experience,lovely place,a place with great history. The place is well maintained with loads of greenery around. Better go in the place in late afternoon to enjoy its beauty just after sunset. Good place to enjoy with kids, they can roam around freely in lush green field.

Beautifully landscaped gardens, lush green lawns and a majestic tower in the centre,the Qutub Minar welcomed us as we walked into its premises. Made of red and buff sandstone,it is one of the highest stone towers in the world and certainly a sight to see. The architecture,splendour and craftsmanship — everything looked alive. The iron pillar in the premises —which had stood the test of time without rusting — was certainly a wonder.Considering its strategic status in Indian history,UNESCO has declared the Qutub Minar as a world heritage monument. Arguably one of the most pivotal monuments,it symbolises the continuity of invading powers in India,and the Minar is inevitably associated with Mughal rule in India. It was constructed to overwhelm and subdue the native populace. As a visible and potent symbol of power,it continues to play an axis role in the Indian political psyche.History:The Qutub Minar is the world’s tallest brick minaret with a height of 72.5 metres. It is one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. Surrounded by several ancient and medieval structures,it is collectively known as Qutub Complex. It is recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Qutub Minar is made of red and buff sandstone. The minaret is made of red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Quran. The iron pillar in the courtyard bears inscriptions in Sanskrit and Brahmi script. Standing in the Qutub complex,it is one of the world’s foremost metallurgical curiosities. Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque,to the northeast of the Minar,was built by Qutub-ud-din Aibak in AD 1198. It is the earliest mosque built by Delhi sultans.

The old ruins of the tower and old temples that were once Hindu were interesting to see. The shape of the large remaining tower has as interesting story to it so you must go and see it! An amazing historical place I ever visited. I will record the stories and w ill tell to my colleagues at home back. Qutub Minar is indeed an eye catching monument. Its amazing. The tall Minar stands firmly on ground and kisses the sky. Its a must visit monument. Book ticket online to enjoy hassle free entry. You can hire a government approved guide from the main entrance. After 2 hrs of sight seeing if you feel like eating something, you may enter Qutub Restaurant, not far from Qutub Minar. Food is good there

A historical place to nurture your knowledge and gain some. Nice tourist place to be in while in Delhi. Must visit for tourists.

Historical Landmark of India:Proof of Architectural perfection and it still stands. The buildings that were made in early 90s can get demolished easily but there monuments cant be, because of the firm architecture and perfect dynamics which was blueprinted exactly the way it is. Govt. of India has made multiple efforts to ease tourists with restroom facilities and shades. The iron pillar has its own historical importance and there is a way to worship the iron pillar. Please read up about the place before you go.

Beautiful place. Never miss a chance to visit this place if u are in Delhi.Few tips to those who are visiting1. 1 km from nearest metro station. U can walk or either take a rickshaw.2 . There was only online booking for tickets. Keep your google pay or paytm ready😁 ( btw they are overpricing foreigners, it’s around 500 rs for them where it’s only 35 for indians🙄3 . Don’t forget to take your short lenses4. It’s a nice from when there are planes ✈️ in the sky( there is an airport nearby)5. Keep your tickets safe ( it will be asked while exiting, ₹. 100 if lost😌)6. Wait there till they put up the lights (it’s so beautiful and missed it and had only a long view from metro station. So wait till 6.00pm ).Overall it was a beautiful experience to visit qutub minar. Lots of frames 🖼. Beautiful architecture, nice garden, lots of birds and squirrels. A memorable place ❤️

Just okay place to visit and see monuments. Humayun Tomb is much better than this.

Built in the early 13th century a few kilometres south of Delhi, the red sandstone tower of Qutb Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 2.75 m in diameter at its peak to 14.32 m at its base, and alternating angular and rounded flutings. The surrounding archaeological area contains funerary buildings, notably the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built in 1311), and two mosques, including the Quwwatul-Islam, the oldest in northern India, built of materials reused from some 20 Brahman temples.The construction of the Qutub Minar was started by Qitub-ud-Din Aibak, but he only constructed the basement. The construction of the tower was later taken over by his successor Iltutmish who constructed three more stories. The last two storeys were completed Firoz Shah Tuglak.

So peaceful and calm.... I guess due to covid 19 though.... But worth going once!
