Book a trip from Taipei to Delhi with Cathay Pacific , fares from TWD19,567

You can get to your destination in Delhi via a variety of transportation options. Taxis are the most convenient option, and they can transport you downtown in about 30 minutes. There is also the Delhi Metro Rail Airport Express Line, which connects the airport to important parts of New Delhi. Alternatively, several bus routes depart from the airport terminal and take you throughout the city.

Delhi, also known as the "city of rallies," is a thriving metropolis rich in culture, history, and tradition. From the moment you land in India's capital city, you'll find something new to discover around every corner.

We recommend starting your trip in Old Delhi, the historic district in the city centre. Aside from providing an excellent introduction to life in Delhi, the district is home to major attractions such as India's largest mosque, the Jama Masjid. Climb to the top for some spectacular views of the city and the nearby Red Fort, the Mughal Emperors' historic home from the 17th century.

To experience Delhi at its most vibrant, head straight to a bustling market. There are countless options, each selling a different type of item, such as ingredients, clothing, handmade trinkets, and more. We recommend Chandi Chowk, Sarojini Nagar, and Janpath Market for a wide selection of souvenirs, clothing, tablecloths, napkins, and other fabrics printed with local designs. For the full experience, hail a local tuk-tuk (rickshaw) to get there. For a change of pace or an afternoon break, visit the Lodi Gardens, where you can go for an afternoon stroll, picnic, or rest and relaxation.

For those who want to delve deeper into local history and culture, we recommend visiting some of the city's renowned museums. The National Museum New Delhi and the National Gandhi Museum are excellent places to learn about the country's independence movements and unique history. The National Gallery of Modern Art is another option for art enthusiasts.

As the country's capital, Delhi is well-connected and serves as an excellent starting point for day trips. You are free to explore in any direction, and we highly recommend visiting the Taj Mahal in the nearby city of Agra. This 17th-century mausoleum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a sight to see. You can get there by car in about 3 hours or by train in around 2 hours.
