Begin your trip at Old Delhi, a vibrant and historic part of the city that offers a fascinating glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. Known for its bustling streets, narrow alleys, and lively markets, this area is a sensory delight. A visit to Old Delhi is incomplete without exploring Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets, where you can shop for everything from spices to textiles. Be sure to indulge in the local cuisine, with street food vendors serving up delicious treats like chaat and parathas. Historical sites such as the magnificent Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques, and the stunning Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflect the area’s Mughal legacy.

For those interested in India's rich cultural heritage, consider visiting the National Museum. Established in 1949, it houses an extensive collection of over 200,000 artefacts spanning thousands of years, including ancient sculptures, textiles, and decorative arts. The museum's galleries showcase diverse themes such as archaeology, anthropology, and arms and armour, offering a glimpse into India's historical narratives.  Be sure to explore the museum's ongoing programs and events for an enriching experience.

Delhi’s vibrant markets are another worthwhile stop. Each market offers a unique experience, showcasing a variety of goods, from fresh ingredients and clothing to handmade trinkets. Chandi Chowk, Sarojini Nagar, and Janpath Market are highly recommended for their diverse selection of souvenirs, fashionable clothes, and locally designed fabrics, including tablecloths and napkins. These bustling markets provide great shopping opportunities and a chance to engage with the local culture. To fully enjoy the experience, consider flagging down a local tuk-tuk (rickshaw) to navigate the lively streets.
