A brief introduction to Delhi
The majestic political epicentre of India, Delhi is rich in history and boasts a beautiful combination of vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and spectacular sights.
Begin your trip by heading to Old Delhi, the historic centre of the city. This neighbourhood is thriving with activity and spectacular sights around every corner, including the Red Fort - the historical home of the Mughal emperors and Jama Masjid - India’s largest mosque which you can climb for some picturesque views of the city.
Delhi is famous for all of its lively markets that sell everything from appetising street food snacks to handicrafts sourced from all across India. Hopping on a local tuk-tuk (rickshaw) will bring you to any of these markets, but consider Chandi Chowk or Janpath Market. Food lovers should head straight to a street vendor in search of local favourites such as ‘bhel puri’ (a savoury puffed rice snack), ‘dosas’ (a thin pancake-like dish), or samosas. If you fancy shopping for some local spices to take back home, head to Khari Baoli - Asia’s largest wholesale spice market where you will find just about anything needed for some delicious home cooking.
Culture lovers will be right at home in Delhi with the countless museums and galleries situated across the city. Among the most popular are the National Museum, the National Gandhi Museum, and the National Gallery of Modern Art.
For a peaceful escape from the chaos of the city, head to Lodi Gardens, a tranquil park that features beautifully landscaped gardens and historical monuments. From there, head to the Lotus Temple, a stunning modernist temple that resembles a blooming lotus flower and is open to people of all faiths.
