Metro
If you are near a Metro station, take the Yellow Line towards Samaypur Badli. Disembark at Chandni Chowk Metro Station. Upon exiting the station, head towards Chandni Chowk market, which is about a 10-minute walk away. As you walk through the market, keep an eye out for signs directing you to the Red Fort. Continue straight until you reach the entrance of the Red Fort, where the Archaeological Museum is located inside.
Rickshaw
If you are in a central location like Connaught Place, you can take an auto-rickshaw to the Red Fort. Just tell the driver 'Lal Qila' or 'Red Fort'. The ride should take around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive, the entrance to the Archaeological Museum is situated within the Red Fort complex.
Walking
If you are staying nearby in the old Delhi area, you can walk to the Red Fort. From the Jama Masjid, head towards the main road (Netaji Subhash Marg) and walk straight for about 15-20 minutes. You will see the massive walls of the Red Fort ahead. Enter the fort premises, and the Archaeological Museum is located within the fort, near the Mumtaz Mahal.
Bus
Look for a bus that goes to 'Chandni Chowk' or 'Red Fort'. You can board a DTC bus from various locations in Delhi. Once you arrive at the Chandni Chowk bus stop, walk towards the Red Fort. The fort is about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop. Follow the signs and ask locals if you're unsure.
