    In the list of places to visit in Delhi, Purana Quila is one of the most ancient grandeurs of the city. Delhi tourism promotes the quila as it’s one of the most important structure in the history of India. With rectangular dimensions, it spreads over a circuit of nearly 2 kilometers. Boating in the lake nearby and a sound and light show in the evening are special attractions which makes it one of the best tourist places in Delhi at night. Built By: Sher Shah Suri Built In: 16th century CE Entry fee: INR 5 for domestic, INR 100 for foreigners Opening hours: 7 am to 5 pm Must visit: National Zoo and Supreme Court Museum nearby Tip: Boating activity near Old Fort is quite famous amongst the locals. Nearest Metro Station: Pragati Maidan on the blue line Distance from Delhi airport: 35 min (16.2 km)

    The Purana Qila Tour was nice. We enjoyed walking around the ancient ruins of the fort and it was surprisingly less crowded than what we had imagined it would be. Best to go when the weather is cooler and avoid weekends. Very nice place to enjoy with family and frinds.

    Its a nice historical place for spending an eve. On somedays of the month, space events are organised which are very good. But no boating, no clear lake view. Entry is cheap and easy, no hastle.

    The Purana Qila lake has been renovated and rehydrated, But the most sought boat riding is still awaited. This Lake is next to the main road, easily reachable and Opposite to Delhi Zoo. The sight is particularly beautiful at dusk, as the fort lights up for the night.

    It is the historical place which is located in Delhi and it is the tourist place which is the centre of attraction among tourist places. I have been there several times with my friends. It is built by sher shah suri in medieval India during mughal period sher shah defeated humayun in few battle like battle of buxar and battle of chanderi in 1539 an 1540 respectively and became the first non mughal ruler during mughal era later sher shah suri was killed in a battle and humayun again got his empire. Way to reach there is not very much complicated one can easily be there by taking a metro or by taking a delhi local bus. Buses are available for this place and this is not so bad area where it is located. It has a great significance of history as it was bulit with stone completely with a great architectural style or fashion

    Old Fort is one of the oldest forts in Delhi. The present citadel at Purana Qila was believed to have been built under Humayun and Afghan Sher Shah Suri (‘The Lion King’). Excavations point to traces from the 3rd century BC, the pre-Mauryan period. The first two rounds of excavations — in 1954-55 and 1969-72 — by then ASI director, BB Lal, had unearthed traces of PGW under the mound. At the time, Lal had embarked on a mission to excavate various sites mentioned in the Mahabharata text and had found such traces as a common feature at all those sites.

    Food in restaurant is good but service is poor. Feels like ancient runes broken walls and everything that an explorer needs to see. Gardens are well managed and sunsets are beautiful here.

    (Translated by Google) The most peaceful area of ​​Delhi is Old Ford Lake, where trees plant, birds chirping and seeing the lake, one gets a wonderful pleasure while living inside Delhi. (Original) दिल्ली का सबसे पीसफुल एरिया ओल्ड फोर्ड लेक है जहां पेड़ पौधे ,चिड़ियों की चहचहाहट की आवाज में और झील को देखकर एक अद्भुत आनंद प्राप्त होता है दिल्ली के अंदर रहते हुए भी शांति मिलती है
