Regular traffic will also be diverted from the roads surrounding Old Delhi. Try to get there at least two hours before the time on your ticket.
Do not forget to carry large bags, power banks, cameras, or food because security staff will confiscate them at the gates without a miss. Only buy Red Fort passes from aamantran.mod.gov.in to avoid scam websites.
