About New Delhi

Delhi has served as a capital for centuries under a succession of dynasties, from the Delhi Sultanate to the Mughals, who raised the Red Fort and Humayun's Tomb. The British later laid out New Delhi, with its broad ceremonial avenues, and it became the capital of independent India in 1947. Today medieval monuments, colonial boulevards and crowded bazaars sit within a few kilometres of each other.

TravelDaddy verdictThe gateway to India, and worth more than a layover.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
