Delhi, the throbbing capital of India—what an absolute treasure for tourists, full of history, culture, and all modern traveling attractions. Known as the former capital of the most glorious empires of the British and the Mughals, Delhi is abundant in magnificent structures that remind one of its glorious past. Historical places of great repute in this city are the majestic Red Fort, the lovely Jama Masjid, towering Qutub Minar, serene Humayun’s Tomb, iconic India Gate, stately Parliament House, and Rashtrapati Bhawan.
It is, however, not in historical landmarks that Delhi’s supremacy is sprinkled with; it is also in the milling marketplaces—the city offers one an unforgettable shopping experience. On your list of popular shopping spots, make sure to have the lively Dilli Haat, eclectic Janpath Market, upscale Khan Market, lively Sarojini Nagar, bustling Lajpat Nagar, and historic Chandni Chowk.
A major attraction is Connaught Place, giving a feel of elegance with its Georgian-style colonnades. It has a mix of global chain stores, trendy restaurants, and lively bars. Somewhat off topic, the Delhi Metro comes in handy with its efficiency—the ease of moving around the city, as most of the attractions are just a few hundred meters away from certain metro stations.
Those spiritually inclined, Delhi has several places of worship, entire in themselves. These are the names of the most visited spiritual landmarks in this city: Lotus Temple, Akshardham Mandir, Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, really ancient Kalkaji Mandir, vast Chhatarpur Temple, tranquil Sri Aurobindo Ashram, and sacred Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
From its historical legacy to indulging in retail therapy or spiritual solace, Delhi is sure to give you a memorable and enriching experience.
