Delhi
A mixture of international metropolis, medieval chaos and regal splendour, Delhi is crammed with tombs, temples, monuments and ruins, side by side with modern suburbs. A surprise lies around every corner - regal British architecture combines with ancient Mughal ruins, modern developments and a touch of rural India. Reminders of long-ago empires co-exist with magnificent museums, temples and mosques, bustling bazaars and elegant shopping emporiums. European grandeur combines effortlessly with a strong Mughal legacy.
- Old Delhi boasts the magnificent architecture of the Mughal empire, most notably the impressive Red Fort and the Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque. Filled with fascinating nooks and crannies, Old Delhi teems with life, from its vibrant bazaars to the crowded thoroughfare of the Chandni Chowd.
- New Delhi, built during the British Raj, combines solid colonial architecture with historical tombs and temples. It is here that visitors will find most of the city’s museums, as well as the famed downtown shopping district. A central government complex designed in majestic sandstone is surrounded by wide, leafy avenues and roundabouts. The Rajpath, a straight, broad mall, cuts through the heart of New Delhi.
- South Delhi is filled with historical monuments, from traditional Mughal garden tombs to the ruins of ancient cities.
