What people say, in short
A safe pick for Mughal architecture and serene, well-kept gardens; several say go early morning when it's calmer, and many pair it with nearby Sunder Nursery.
Humayun's Tomb is strongly recommended by commenters, who praise its serene, well-kept gardens and Mughal architecture, and many suggest pairing it with nearby Sunder Nursery and other sights that can be covered in a single day. Several recommend going early in the morning, when it is calmer; one commenter's favourite is a winter morning. A few caveats: one visitor finds it always very crowded, and another was ready to leave fairly quickly.
