Delhi, the capital of India, is a colossal city of contrast, where 25 million people live amid a dizzying mix of eras and energy.
As India’s capital, it’s the seat of government and a cultural crossroads, where medieval ruins rise beside British-built boulevards and ultra-modern malls.
Pollution and crowds are part of the package, but so too are green parks, rich heritage, and street scenes that fascinate at every turn.
Whether you explore the colonial calm of New Delhi or dive into the sensory overload of Old Delhi, this is a city that lingers in the memory.
In New Delhi, you’ll find the imperial grandeur of India Gate, Humayun’s Tomb, and Lutyens’ sweeping architecture, as well as serene spots like the Lodhi Gardens.
In Old Delhi, it’s all spice bazaars, crumbling forts and chaos – dive into Chandni Chowk, Dariba Kalan and Kinari Bazaar, or seek silence in lesser-known places like Agrasen Ki Baoli.
From the world’s tallest brick minaret at Qutab Minar to mouthwatering street food and vibrant markets, Delhi is as multifaceted as India itself.
