A good place to explore the beauty of a perfect Indo-Islamic architectural style. I had taken the service of a local guide present in the complex and he remarkably explained each and every detail of the monument and its historical significance. I would recommend buying a ticket in advance to cut the waiting time at the ticket booth.

Well worth the visit. Very popular and very busy tourists and locals. Lots to see and admire and lots of great photo opportunities. Spent about 45 minutes which was long enough to walk around and have a reasonable look and photos.

Get there early in the morning to take pictures at leisure and fewer crowd. In summer through end of September, it gets very muggy even at 10am. This is ticketed place and thankfully clean. Beware of photographers approaching you and charging you for special pictures against the monument. Bargain with them if interested.

The Qutab Minar (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a famous landmark in Delhi which is one of the most famous monuments constructed by Qutub-uddin-Aibak during the Slave Dynasty in Delhi. The complex is big, with many ruins including the main Minar, the Iron pillar and another incomplete minar which was attempted by another ruler of the Slave Dynasty. Managed by ASI, the complex is clean and well lit and accessible by wheelchair also. They also have a sound and night show at night, which is also very nice.

We visited about 9am and it wasn't very busy at that time. We managed to get some great photos with minimal people in the background. I bought tickets online. Make sure to keep them as they seemed to check them on our way out too. We were approached by a 'security guard' who took us around and actually took some great photos of us and he was happy with 50 rupee, normally I would say no to someone like this but it was ok this time. As an Australian we were only approached a couple of times for photos with locals.

I hesitated, eventually I decided to go and I was happy. The queue wasn't long there (I was there around 11am). Looks like the photos. You also have a park with a baoli, a mosque and some small buildings next door (although very empty since it's far less popular).

The architecture is very interesting. We did this ourselves without a guide and enjoyed the wander around discovering and reading the plentiful information boards. A little homework beforehand helps to understand the overview. Recommend a visit.

Qutub Minar is a beautiful monument built by Quli Qutub and a testament to the incredible architecture! In the middle of the capital city, it is surprisingly very serene here. The grounds are laden with large, old Neem trees standing strong and eerily quiet during a busy season. The calligraphy on the red stone is simply amazing. You are not allowed to go inside the minar due to safety issues.

Great historical monument. The qutub Tower will make you wonder how such construction were possible at the time it was built. The place is well organized and clean. A must visit in Delhi. Great history behind the monument. Well preserved.

This is one of several monuments around Delhi that you look at and wonder how they did it without all the tools and machinery we have today. The sandstone is smooth, each block is perfectly inset and the detailed scribing are extremely intricate. Even more impressive is the fact that the park and fort are immaculately maintained in spite of all the foot traffic. Definitely a must see on any tour of Delhi.
