Top Reasons to Go

Moghul Masters: Lal Qila (the Red Fort), Humayun's Tomb, and the Jama Masjid—the monuments left behind by the Muslim emperors who ruled Delhi for hundreds of years are stunning.

Remnants of the Raj: The British may be long gone, but the buildings of Lutyens' Delhi still cast an imperial shadow.

The Crowded Capital: Old Delhi's twisting, narrow lanes and packed bazaars provide unparalleled people watching.

Shopper's Paradise: Whether it's custom-made clothes at bargain-basement prices, silk saris, or crafts from around the country to take home as souvenirs, you can't beat Delhi's selection.

Taste of India: Streetside stalls, traditional kebab houses, lounges serving contemporary Indian with a twist—dining in Delhi doesn't disappoint.
