Things to Do
Things to do in Delhi: forts, gardens and food lanes
Red Fort and Chandni Chowk, Humayun's Tomb, Lodhi Garden, and Qutub Minar.
Delhi is basically an open-air history museum with great food.
Mughal Delhi
Red Fort and Jama Masjid, then dive into the food lanes of Chandni Chowk on foot or by rickshaw. Go hungry, it's the whole point.
The calm, grand stuff
Humayun's Tomb, a Mughal masterpiece and a Taj Mahal warm-up, plus Lodhi Garden for a leafy walk among tombs and joggers.
More monuments
Qutub Minar, India Gate in the evening, and the Lotus Temple for something serene and modern.
Markets and cafes
Hauz Khas Village for the lake-and-ruins-and-bars combo, Khan Market for bookshops and cafes, Dilli Haat for crafts and regional food.
