Around Delhi

Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. The city is sprinkled with dazzling gems — captivating ancient monuments, fascinating museums, architectural wonders, a vivacious performing-arts scene, fabulous eateries and bustling markets. New Delhi now boasts a world-class Metro system as well as hop-on hop-off facilities for tourists.
