What people say, in short
Rashtrapati Bhavan is a frequent stop on Delhi itineraries, with two people recommending the tour of the interior booked through the official website, and two recommending the changing of the guard ceremony. One commenter calls the building beautiful and historically significant, and another says it looks nice in the evening. The main caveat is access: a couple of visitors report that barricades now stop you getting close to the gates, and one misses being able to stroll up to the entrance.
