Where to Stay in Delhi! BEST Tourist Areas, Hotels & Hostels in Delhi!

Categories Asia , India

Where to stay in Delhi is an important question when planning your trip to Delhi, especially if Delhi is your first stop on your India trip!

Finding the right accommodation in Delhi and staying in the right area of Delhi will pretty much determine how much you like and enjoy your stay in India’s capital city because as a foreigner to India and to Delhi, this city can be overwhelming, chaotic, loud and hot!

Best Place to Stay in Delhi For Tourists

Having an accommodation in Delhi where you feel safe, comfortable and relaxed is so important which is my biggest Delhi travel tip . There are some areas of Delhi that are super cool and hip and might surprise you, which is what I want to tell you about in this Delhi travel blog, along with the best hotels in Delhi and the best hostels in Delhi that I’ve tried and tested!

Where to stay in Delhi?

Let’s start by talking about the area of Delhi you SHOULD NOT stay in

The WORSE area of Delhi to stay in – Paharganj & Old Delhi

The top area I DO NOT recommend is Paharganj!

Paharganj is known as the backpacker area of Delhi and the main bazaar in Delhi, which in most cities is a good and fun part of a city to stay in, but not in Delhi! Paharganj is busy, it’s dirty and there’s a lot of hassle from locals because it’s such a tourist-heavy area. If you’re thinking about where to stay in Delhi your first time, this is not it!

It’s easy to get caught out as when looking at accommodation in Delhi on Booking.com most of the accommodation is concentrated in this area but I really recommend you don’t stay here.

The only good thing about Paharganj is that it is where New Delhi Train Station is so unless you are visiting Delhi for one night and want to be within walking distance to the station to catch an early train for example (and if you do, I have recommendations on good hotels in Paharganj below) then avoid this area if you want a good experience in Delhi!

The other area of Delhi I suggest that you don’t stay in is Old Delhi ! Yes, Old Delhi is a must-visit area in Delhi but it is not a good place to stay. It’s the most crowded and chaotic part of the city and only gets busier as the night goes on. It’s dusty, noisy and well, very old!

To find out how to see Old Delhi the best way, have a read of this blog post of mine with my Delhi Travel Tips .

SIM CARD FOR INDIA

I really recommend having a sim card in India as it makes travel in India so much easier! You may have heard that it’s hard to get a sim card in India but you can get a sim card in Delhi Airport, read this post to see how to buy a sim card in Delhi Airport or if you fly in elsewhere 3 ways to buy a sim card in India and you’ll be connected in just a few hours!

WHAT TO WEAR IN INDIA

If you are a woman, here’s what I recommend you pack and wear in India . Technically you can wear what you like in India in most places but to get fewer stares and feel more comfortable, read my post!

DON’T GET SCAMMED IN DELHI

Most people arrive for the first time into Delhi and get scammed within a few hours! Read my Delhi Travel Tips to help you enjoy Delhi, and the best places to stay in Delhi which is so important!

The BEST areas of Delhi to stay in – Central New Delhi and South New Delhi

Before we get into exact hotels and hostels, the areas of New Delhi you should be looking for accommodation in are Central New Delhi and South New Delhi .

Central Delhi is centred around Connaught Place which you can easily see on a map. This is a fairly modern and built-up area of Delhi with lots of shops and restaurants, and it is close to many of the popular places to visit in Delhi like India Gate, the Jantar Mantar and Old Delhi, and it’s the best area to stay in Delhi for nightlife.

South Delhi is more residential but it’s also very close to many Delhi Monuments like the Lotus Temple and Qutub Minar. Don’t get me wrong, this part of Delhi is still busy, all of Delhi is busy, but it’s more manageable than the above places I have noted. In terms of the best neighbourhood in Delhi for families, South Delhi is the answer!

The Delhi Metro is so easy and good to use too, so my recommendation when looking for the best place to stay in Delhi is to look for an accommodation close to a metro station and then you can get around the city quickly, easily and cheaply.

The BEST Hotels in Delhi

Here are my favourite hotels in Delhi!

1. Bloom Rooms Hotel Janpath – $$$

Janpath is in Central Delhi and is walking distance from Connaught Place which makes Bloom Rooms Janpath   a good hotel to stay in Delhi location wise. However, it’s also an incredibly comfy and welcoming hotel in Delhi and my 3 nights there made me enjoy Delhi so much more.

The staff are welcoming, they have an onsite cafe which is great if you don’t want to go out and get food. They have plenty of seating areas so you don’t have to stay in your room and provide free tea, coffee, water and even snacks!

I stayed in a Standard King room which was perfect for 1 person and would be great for 2 people as well. I love that all rooms have a desk in them and the wifi was great meaning I could catch up on work here. In fact, Bloom Rooms Hotel Janpath is a great place if you’re a digital nomad or need to work online in Delhi!

2. Shangri-La’s Eros Hotel – $$$$$

For 5 star hotels in Delhi, the Shangri-La’s Ero Hotel in New Delhi as to be the answer! Located in Janpath in Central Delhi close to India Gate, this luxury hotel in Delhi offers an outdoor swimming pool to cool off in, 5 dining options, a spa and a choice of rooms from suites, king and twin rooms.

The staff that work at the Shangri-La in Delhi are friendly and helpful say past visitors and visitors even say that it should be higher than one of the five-star hotels in Delhi, more like a 7-star hotel in Delhi!

For total luxury after a long day of exploring Delhi, make this your Delhi hotel booking here!

3. Prakash Kutir B&B – $$

If you want a home away from home in Delhi, book yourself into Prakash Kutir B&B . The family that runs this B&B in Delhi are so lovely and you will be welcomed into the family.

It is located on a quiet street in the neighbourhood of Hauz Kauz which is a really cool area of Delhi, and it has a metro station.

They have a range of bedrooms and if you want their best bedroom try to get the Family Room which is a huge twin room with a balcony, or the Double Room with Terrace . However, if you can’t get this, they have a rooftop and a downstairs garden area so you can still sit outside and relax when staying there. Breakfast is served in the family dining room with real personal touch.

This homestay in Delhi is perfect for solo travellers especially or slightly older travellers who want to relax out of the busy city between sightseeing. It’s also the Delhi hotel I’m using for my 2 week India tours because I love it that much!

4. Aloft New Delhi Aerocity Hotel – $$$$

If you’re looking for hotels near Delhi Airport because you have a layover or just a short stay in Delhi, Aloft Aerocity which is part of the Marriott brand is the best Delhi Airport Hotel!

It’s located in the Airport district just 2km from Delhi Airport but is only 12km from Central Delhi and less than one hour by taxi so it is possible to reach Delhi to see some of the tourist places in Delhi very easily.

Aloft New Delhi Hotel is modern with a garden and swimming pool, perfect if you are coming off of a long flight and offers an amazing breakfast spread! This hotel is also good if you are staying in Delhi for business and attending conferences near Delhi Airport as it is known as the new, hip, business hotel in Delhi!

5. Bloom Rooms New Delhi Railway – $$$

If you want to and need to stay close to New Delhi Train Station, especially if you’re getting into Delhi one day and leaving the next, the best hotel to stay in next to New Delhi Station is Bloom Rooms New Delhi Railway Station .

As mentioned with their Janpath property, the offer really good value accommodation that is comfortable, clean and welcoming and their branding is consistent throughout their properties.

Their New Delhi Hotel offers ‘Value Single’ Rooms perfect for solo travellers. I stayed in a value single room in one of their Bangalore Hotels and it was perfect for me with a single bed, desk and still offered plenty of room while being at a lower price point than a double room.

If you are travelling as 2 people, they also offer Queen and Twin Rooms.

6. The Imperial New Delhi – $$$$

Another one for your 5-star hotels in Delhi list is The Imperial New Delhi . This luxury Delhi Hotel is located in Janpath Central Delhi close to the cool and modern area of Connaught Place.

It features a huge outdoor swimming pool and huge beautifully furnished bedrooms.

Guests that have stayed at The Imperial Hotel Delhi like that the hotel is modern but it also has a colonial charm. To get even more colonial, you can even have Afternoon Tea at The Imperial New Delhi. If you want the best hotel in Delhi, I think staying somewhere with this colonial charm will give you what you’re looking for.

The BEST Hostels in Delhi

Hostels are great in India because they offer great value accommodation and a chance to meet other travellers which I think is so important to help enjoy your stay in India if travelling solo.

These are my tried and tested favourite hotels in Delhi!

1. Moustache Hostel Delhi – $

This is the hostel I recommend you stay in Delhi if you’re wondering where to stay in Delhi on a budget! Moustache Hostel is a good chain of hostels in India offering good dorm rooms with a lot of comfort as well as private rooms and the chance to meet other travellers in the social areas.

Moustache Hostel New Delhi is well located close a major train station in Delhi of making it convenient if you’re getting a train out of Delhi (just be sure to check which Delhi station it leaves from).

It’s located in South Delhi which links in well with why I tell you that that best area of Delhi to stay in is South Delhi!

The hostel has a common area in reception where they play films, there’s also a kitchen and a table which is great for using your laptop on and the wifi is good. They offer nightly dinners for a great price, breakfast and free chai in the evenings along with daily tours of Delhi.

This is a hub for foreign travellers and you’ll be sure to meet a few people to chat with here and maybe even continue your travels with!

2. Zostel Delhi – $

Zostel Delhi is located within walking distance from New Delhi Train Station and in the area of Paharganj. The hostel isn’t the newest and it is like a budget hotel in Delhi but it’s cheap and close to the station so if you are staying in Delhi for 1 night only and need to be close to New Delhi Train Station as I did last year when I was arriving from one city before getting the train to another the next day. I would recommend staying here for a cheap and convenient stay.

The staff were good as they tend to be in all Zostel Hostels around India. They do tours and activities which you can join to help you see the city too.

3. Madpackers New Delhi Hostel – $

For another well-located New Delhi Hostel in South Delhi. Madpackers New Delhi is the answer! Madpackers are another hostel chain in India and their Youth Hostel Delhi is in a great location in Hauz Khas.

This will give you a unique look at Delhi because Hauz Khas is a cool and hip area with lots of cafes and shops, but it’s also really easy to reach many of the best places to see in Delhi on the metro.

Madpackers New Delhi Hostel offers a range of dorm rooms including female dorms for a Girls Hostel in Delhi feel. They also have private rooms which are perfect if you want your own space but want to get involved in hostel activities and meet people in the common areas and Madpackers Delhi does have great common areas looking at the reviews from fellow travellers!

Hello, location wise it looks good yes. It's not in the far South of Delhi but it is out the main centre and not too close to Old Delhi meaning the neighbourhood will be better.

From a visitor’s perspective, Delhi is divided into two main areas. Old Delhi is the city of the Mughals and dates back to the seventeenth century. It’s the capital’s most frenetic quarter, and its most Islamic ­— a reminder that for more than seven hundred years Delhi was a Muslim-ruled city. 

Old Delhi’s greatest monuments are undoubtedly the magnificent constructions of the Mughals. These include the mighty Red Fort, and the Jama Masjid, India’s largest and most impressive mosque. 

To the south, encompassing the modern city centre, you’ll find New Delhi This was built by the British to be the capital of their empire’s key possession.

A spacious city of tree-lined boulevards, New Delhi is also impressive in its own way.

The best for an authentic experience

Though it’s not in fact the oldest part of Delhi, the seventeenth-century city of Shahjahanabad, built for the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, is known as Old Delhi. 

Construction began on the city in 1638, and within eleven years it was substantially complete, surrounded by more than 8km of ramparts pierced by fourteen main gates. 

Today much of the wall has crumbled, and of the fourteen gates only four remain, but it remains a fascinating area, crammed with interesting nooks and crannies.  

That said, you’ll need stamina, patience, time, and probably a fair few chai stops along the way to endure the crowds and traffic.  

The same is true of Paharganj, the district just across the rail tracks. Despite being rather unrepresentative of the city as a whole, this somehow manages to encapsulate Delhi in a nutshell. 

Note that few tourists stay in Old Delhi, which many find dirty, noisy and overcrowded. Most hotels here are mostly geared to Indian visitors rather than foreigners.  

The hotels around Delhi station are particularly bad value, but there are a couple of good options.  

Just west of Old Delhi, and also New Delhi railway station, the Paharganj area is prime backpacker territory. It’s home to innumerable lodges offering inexpensive and mid-range accommodation.  

Some are good value, while others offer very little for very little, and many suffer from slamming-door syndrome and people shouting till dawn.  

As a result, you’ll want to choose carefully if you value peace and quiet.  However, of all the areas to stay in, this is by far the most colourful. 

Going it alone? Arm yourself with our  tips for backpacking India . 

Where to stay in Old Delhi 

• Best for period charm:  Maidens . Stylish, understated luxury in a lovely old colonial mansion, with a pool and restaurant.
• Best for mid-range budgets:  Hotel City Empire is a hotel with comfortable rooms and excellent hospitality for a good price.
• Best for backpackers :  Friends Hostel by Backpackers Heaven . This hostel is worth a mention for its cheap private rooms — the beds aren’t the best, but the rooms are large, and those with private bathrooms only cost a fraction more.

Where to stay in Delhi: New Delhi 

With its wide, tree-lined avenues and solid colonial architecture, the modern area of New Delhi has been the seat of central government since 1931.  

At its hub, the royal mall, Rajpath, runs west from the palatial Rashtrapati Bhavan to the India Gate war memorial in the east. Its wide, grassy margins are a popular meeting place for families, picnickers and courting couples.  

North of the Rajpath lies busy Connaught Place, one of the city’s most important hubs for dining and drinking. 

Further south, Khan Market is a more chilled-out version of the same, with some great sights on its periphery. 

Accommodation in New Delhi is focused on Connaught Place, but you pay a premium to stay here, so if you want value for money, stay elsewhere.  

South of “CP”, grander hotels on and around Janpath and along Sansad Marg cater mainly for business travellers and tour groups.

Where to stay in New Delhi

• Best for modern stays:  The Singh Empire features 24-hour room service and modern rooms with free WiFi. It is 14 km from New Delhi International Airport and 600 metres from New Delhi Railway Station.
• Best for relative peace:   Hotel Krishna is located in central New Delhi. A 5-minute walk from New Delhi Train Station and Metro Station, it features a restaurant and air-conditioned rooms.
• Best for budget travellers:   Joey’s Hostel .  Located out across the river, this homely hostel isa good choice if you want to keep your distance from Delhi, but remain within a metro or cab ride of the centre.

Where to stay in Delhi: South Delhi 

Most of the early settlements of Delhi, including its first city at Qila Rai Pithora (around the Qutb Minar), are to be found not in “Old Delhi” but in South Delhi This wide area south of Lutyens’ is characterised by carefully planned boulevards.  

The rapid expansion of suburban Delhi has swallowed up what was previously countryside. Whole villages have been embedded within it, and the area is now home to some of the city’s newest and most happening locales. 

The most notable of these is Hauz Khas Village, a lakeside area filled with shops, bars and restaurants. 

Home to some very pleasing mid-range hotels and guesthouses, and an increasing number of hostels for backpackers, more and more travellers are staying in South Delhi.

In short,  the area is a great choice for those who want to stay somewhere quiet. 

South Delhi also makes an ideal introduction for those who’ve never been to Delhi — or even India — before.

Where to Stay in Delhi – Best Areas and Hotels for Every Budget 2024

Suzanne wanders delhi contains affiliate links. if you make a purchase using one of the links below, i may receive compensation at no extra cost to you. i only recommend products and services i use and trust. read my disclaimer for more information., looking for the best hotels in delhi, on any budget then you’ve come to the right place, short on time here’s what to expect.

• top choices for luxury, mid-priced, budget, hostel & airport accommodations
• recommendations for solo females, families and visitors with pets

Airbnb in Delhi

Before I moved to Delhi I spent a lot of time staying in hotels and guest houses. Delhi is such a huge city, staying in a safe and well located is important. With hundreds of hotels available, it can be overwhelming trying to choose one. These are my top recommendations on where to stay in Delhi for every budget.

Off the top, I don’t recommend staying in Old Delhi or Paharganj . Both are great to visit for the day, but not the best areas for a tourist to stay at, especially if it’s your first time in Delhi. South and Central Delhi is where you should stay, even on a budget. These are the nicest areas, and where most of the attractions are located.

If you’re flying into Delhi, here are the best options to get into Delhi from the airport .

Here are My Top Picks:

• Luxury – Imperial Hotel
• Mid-Range – Hotel Palace Heights
• Budget – Prakash Kutir Bed & Breakfast

What is the Best Area of Delhi to Stay in?

South and Central Delhi are the best and safest areas to stay in, this includes New Delhi. Almost all luxury and many mid-priced hotels are in these areas. This is also where most monuments and attractions are located. These areas are especially good for first time visitors to Delhi .

Neighbourhoods like Greater Kailash, Vasant Vihar, Golf Links, Shanti Niketan, Hauz Khas, Nizammudin West, Saket, Chanakyapuri, Connaught Place, Civil Lines and Defence Colony are all great options.

Old Delhi, East Delhi and North Delhi is where you will find a lot of budget lodging. Paharganj is the area immediately north of Connaught Place, next to the New Delhi Railway Station and famous for low cost accommodation and backpacker hostels.

Lots of budget travellers end up in Paharganj but there are budget options in much better parts of the city, like Bed & Chai Guesthouse in Greater Kailash I. The service and property maintenance is not what it used to be (new management), but for the same price as Paharganj you can be in a much nicer and safer part of the city.

New Delhi vs Old Delhi – Where Should I Stay?

They are both parts of Delhi. Old Delhi refers to the historic part of the city built by Mughal ruler Shahjahan between 1639 – 1648. New Delhi is the part built by the British mostly in the 1920s and 1930s.

I don’t recommend staying in Old Delhi. It’s great to visit for the day (in terms of historic significance it is enormously important), but it’s not the part of town you want to go back to every night. Old Delhi has its charm, but it’s also noisy, dirty, crowded and chaotic. And it’s not the safest part of the city to return to after dark.

New Delhi is the capital of the nation. It was designed by British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker and has wide, leafy boulevards, roundabouts, parks and colonnaded buildings. New Delhi is actually one of the greenest capital cities in the world.

Best Luxury Hotels in Delhi

Delhi has no shortage of 5 star luxury properties , generally ranging between US$200-350 a night. They all have the amenities a business or leisure traveler would expect at this price point and are very well located.

• Shangri-la Eros New Delhi
• Leela Palace New Delhi  

Imperial Hotel

Maidens hotel, shangri-la eros new delhi.

Shangri-La Eros is a large hotel that is great for business travellers and diplomats because of its proximity to many of the embassies. The hotel has extensive business facilities including secretarial service, and multiple restaurants and bars.

I stayed here several years ago and their breakfast buffet was so massive, it took me 3 days to discover it all. It’s a very comfortable, contemporary hotel with exceptional service.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Shangri-la Eros New Delhi

Leela Palace New Delhi

The Leela Palace is exceptional. From the gorgeous pool to the well appointed guest rooms, it exudes Indian luxury and fine taste. Located in the greenest part of New Delhi , it is an ideal base to explore the city from.

The only problem is that it is so beautiful and has so many amenitities (including one of the best spas in the city), you may not want to leave.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Leela Palace New Delhi  

Art lovers will adore this hotel – it has a priceless collection of British art, which is displayed throughout the property. It’s also one of the very best hotels in Delhi and exudes traditional comfort and luxury. The location is excellent – right on Janpath and within walking distance of many attractions and Connaught Place .

There is a dedicated floor for solo female guests with ‘Eliza’ rooms that has extra security and a dedicated female staff.

I highly recommend the curated art tour at the Imperial. It’s a must do for any lover of 17th and 18th Century British art.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Imperial Hotel

When Maidens Hotel opened in 1903 it had the distinction of being the best hotel in Delhi. It was built primarily for the British Raj and still has that traditional, colonial charm.

It’s a smaller property with 55 rooms located in the Civil Lines area, which is central Delhi. It’s not as well located as the Imperial and Shangri-La Eros, but because it’s only a 5 minute walk to the Civil Lines metro station you can easily go anywhere else in the city.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Maidens Hotel

Best Mid-Range Hotels in Delhi

These hotels don’t have pools or multiple restaurants and bars, but they are all clean, comfortable and well located. Price range is between US$80-150 a night.

• Radisson Blu Marina Connaught Place
• Hotel Palace Heights

Bloomrooms @ Janpath

• Radisson Blu Marina Hotel Connaught Place

Radisson Blu Marina is an excellent choice for tourists and first time visitors to Delhi because of its location right in the centre of Connaught Place.

Connaught Place is the British built colonnaded shopping and commercial hub, and the unofficial centre of Delhi. Everything is just outside the hotel’s front door: metro , parks, movie theatres, restaurants and cafés , art galleries, numerous high and mid-end shops and a local bazaar.

It’s a walkable area and easy to navigate because all the blocks are lettered. There is a metro station there and it’s easy to get an auto rickshaw. Many of Delhi’s attractions and sites are close by.

This is a mid sized hotel with 90 rooms and suites, and also well set up for business travellers.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Radisson Blu Marina Connaught Place

Hotel Palace Heights is a smaller property with about 15 rooms. It’s also located in the centre of Connaught Place , making it an ideal choice for tourists and first time visitors. It’s an older property and does not have as many amenities as Radisson Blu Marina , but it’s clean and comfortable.

The hotel doesn’t have extensive business amenities, and reception and guest rooms are up two flights of stairs, so it’s not the best choice for business travellers or anyone with mobility issues. They do have an excellent restaurant, Zaffran, which specializes in north Indian cuisine.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Hotel Palace Heights

Bnineteen is a small boutique hotel with a high level of service. It’s located in a lovely residential part of South Delhi, Nizamuddin East, next door to Humayun’s Tomb (UNESCO) and Sunder Nursery . Each room is unique, but all are very comfortable and clean. Some even have views of Humayun’s Tomb.

Because of the proximity to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station you will hear trains, and you’ll need an auto rickshaw to reach the Delhi metro. Other than that, the location is fabulous – in the heart of the most historic part of South Delhi.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Bnineteen

This is a comfortable minimalist hotel with a fabulous, quiet location. As the name suggests, it’s on Janpath Lane, very close to many sites and the main commercial and retail centre, Connaught Place . Rooms have the basic amenities as well as cloud beds and rain showers. Each floor has a common area with free non-alcoholic drinks and snacks.

The hotel facade is sunny yellow and the whole property has a bright and airy ambience. If you like a more modernist, stream-lined look this is a good option.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Bloomrooms @ Janpath

Best Budget Hotels in Delhi

There’s no shortage of budget accommodation, where it’s safe for every traveller to stay in Delhi. These are some of the best in the city, and they cost about US$60-100 a night.

Colonel’s Retreat

Hotel mayur at cr park.

• Bloomrooms @ N ew Delhi Railway Station

This is more of a large guest house, but rooms have all the amenities you would expect in a hotel and there’s a great roof top restaurant. Colonel’s Retreat has a quiet location in one of the better residential neighbourhoods of South Delhi, Defence Colony.

It’s only a few minutes walk to the Defence Colony Market where there are many shopping and dining options. The metro is close by and the main attractions and sites are easy to reach from here.

Breakfast is complimentary and includes homemade jams and marmalades, multigrain and banana breads.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Colonel’s Retreat

This is a small hotel with 21 guest rooms. It’s located in South Delhi within walking distance of the popular GKI M Block Market and a few minutes walk to the Kailash Colony metro station, making all attractions and sites accessible.

Rooms are larger than most and have standard amenities including free wifi, tea/coffee maker and smart TV. In winter the rooms are equipped with air purifiers and oil heaters. The hotel has a restaurant, business centre and meeting room. A buffet breakfast is included in the room rate.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Home@F37

This is a small South Delhi hotel , located in a residential neighbourhood called Chittaranjan Park (CR Park). Rooms are comfortable and many have balconies. You can walk or take an auto rickshaw to the Delhi metro, making all the sites of Delhi accessible. This is where many Bengalis settled, and you’ll find lots of Kolkata style food and sweets in the area.

CR Park is where one of Delhi’s largest and busiest festivals takes place every year, Durga Puja . If you’re coming around that time (usually last 2 weeks of October), be aware it will be crowded and noisy.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Hotel Mayur at CR Park

Bloomrooms @ New Delhi Railway Station

Another hotel by Bloomrooms, this one is adjacent to the New Delhi Railway Station in the backpacker haven, Paharganj. This is a busy, congested neighbourhood and would not be my first pick, but if you are traveling through the New Delhi Railway Station, the location is convenient. Plus, the price is great.

Bloomsrooms @ New Delhi Railway Station is clean and comfortable with minimalist decor and a bright yellow theme. All rooms have cloud beds and rain showers.

The hotel has a restaurant, iMac lounge and common areas on each level with free non alcoholic drinks and snacks.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Bloomrooms @ New Delhi Railway Station

Best Guest Houses in Delhi

Guest houses are a really good option for visitors. They are often in quieter, residential neighbourhoods, include breakfast and are smaller and more intimate than hotels. These are four of the best guest houses in Delhi where visitors should stay, for every budget. Prices range between US$40-80 a night.

Prakash Kutir Bed & Breakfast

Cp villa bed & breakfast.

This is one of Delhi’s favourite guest houses and having stayed there myself a few times, I can see why. It’s located in one of South Delhi’s best residential neighbourhoods, Hauz Khas, and within walking distance of the local market and metro.

The Gupta family who own and operate the guest house are incredibly warm and welcoming. The guest house is small and cozy and you will feel like you are staying in a lovely home. A delicious, home cooked breakfast is included. Reserve a room as far in advance as you can, this place is often fully booked.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Prakash Kutir Bed & Breakfast

Indee Home is another highly regarded guest house in South Delhi. It has an excellent location in Greater Kailash, an upscale residential area popular with expats, and is within walking distance of the local market and metro. A home cooked breakfast is included, and the guest house offers airport transfers.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Indee Home

Zaza Stay is an upscale guest house with 6 stylish rooms, most of which have private balconies. It’s in the quiet neighourhood of Nizamuddin West and the location is superb for exploring Delhi. Lodhi Garden , Humayun’s Tomb , Nizamuddin , Sunder Nursery , Khan Market and India Gate are all easily accessible by auto rickshaw. Breakfast is included.

All rooms are clean and comfortable with wifi, television, ensuite bathroom, power back-up and a private sitting area.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Zaza Stay

This is a small bed and breakfast with only 4 guest rooms. The location is fantastic – it’s in a quaint residential enclave near Connaught Place , close to attractions, markets , shops, numerous restaurants and the Delhi metro.

Rooms are simple, but clean and comfortable with ensuite bathrooms and their own private patios. For anyone on a budget, this is great value for the area. There’s also a lovely garden where you can enjoy a cup of chai or just decompress after a busy day of sight-seeing.

🚩 Check prices and availability at CP Villa Bed & Breakfast

Best Hostels in Delhi

There are many hostels and backpacker accommodations, most of them located in Central Delhi near the New Delhi Railway Station in a congested and noisy area called Paharganj (I don’t recommend staying there). These two are NOT in that area. Prices are low, US$10-25 a night.

Hosteller Delhi

Moustache delhi.

Hosteller Delhi is a very popular Delhi hostel, located in the south east part of the city, within walking distance of the metro. It’s an excellent choice for everyone on a tight budget wondering where to stay in Delhi.

I like this hostel a lot – it hosts regular events for its guests (they had a comedy show the night before I visited) and has a very friendly vibe. There’s also an onsite cafe which makes good food.

Hosteller Delhi has private and shared rooms, a common kitchen and wifi. Pets are welcome in the private rooms.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Hosteller Delhi

Moustache Delhi is another favourite hostel in Delhi. It’s also located in the south east section of the city, within walking distance of the metro and near the Lotus Temple.

Moustache Delhi offers private and shared rooms. There is a community kitchen, garden and wifi.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Moustache Delhi

Best Delhi Airport Hotels – Aerocity

Aerocity is perfect for anyone on a layover. It’s conveniently located beside the Indira Gandhi International Airport and you can be at the airport terminal in minutes. Plus Aerocity is a haven of better hotels, restaurants and shops all in a walkable and easy to navigate setting.

It was built with international travellers in mind, but it’s become a hot spot for Delhiites as well because of its numerous dining and night life options . There’s a metro station right there making all the attractions and sites of Delhi accessible.

Here are my top picks for Aerocity hotels:

• JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity (luxury)
• Pullman New Delhi Aerocity Hotel (luxury)
• Novotel New Delhi Aerocity (mid-range)
• Holiday Inn New Delhi International Airport (mid-range)

Best Hotels for Women in Delhi

Many hotels now have special rooms and dedicated floors for solo female travellers, often referred to as ‘Eva’ rooms. These rooms offer special amenities and services, like extra security, unique toiletries, all female staff and a female escort for airport pick-ups. So far, it’s just the high end hotels in Delhi that offer this service. Here are the best:

• The Imperial
• Taj Mahal, New Delhi

Jaypee Vasant Continental Hotel

For solo female guests, the Imperial Hotel offers Eliza rooms which are on a dedicated female only corridor and have special linens, toiletries and bathrobes. Airport pick up with a female escort can be arranged and female serviced room service is available.

The location is ideal for sole female travellers. It’s on a very walkable main road in Connaught Place , within walking distance to restaurants, shops, sites and the metro.

ITC Maurya is a luxury hotel in the diplomatic enclave of Delhi. The hotel is directly across the street from the Buddha Jayanti Park and very close to many South Delhi sites.

Eva rooms are on a designated floor and have their own special Eva cocktail trolley, so that female guests can enjoy cocktail hour without having to venture solo into the hotel’s lounge.

The hotel caters to business and leisure travellers and has a full business centre, a spa, health club, outdoor pool, multiple restaurants, lounges and shops. Rooms are elegantly appointed with all the amenities you would expect from a 5 star luxury brand.

Art lovers will appreciate the exquisitely painted vaulted ceiling in the lobby by Indian artist Krishen Khanna. The mural took four years to complete and is called The Great Procession , depicting subjects and imagery from Mauryan history.

🚩 Check prices and availability at ITC Maurya

Taj Mahal , New Delhi

The Taj Mahal, New Delhi is another 5 star luxury hote l with women only rooms and floors. The location is excellent, in a very exclusive area known as ‘Lutyens’ Delhi’ close to many sites and the upscale Khan Market .

Eva rooms are well appointed and comfortable with video phone, female housekeeping staff and a dedicated female concierge. The hotel has business services, a pool, spa, health club, several restaurants and lounges.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Taj Mahal, New Delhi

This 5 star hotel is located on the main road in Vasant Vihar, an upscale residential area of Delhi. The location is excellent for women as it’s next to a metro station and the Priya Complex, an excellent dining and shopping hub. The hotel is well located for sightseeing and about 8 km away from the Indira Gandhi International Airport .

Dedicated female traveller rooms have extra security measures (doorbell and video phone) and are on an upper floor. This is a good hotel with all standard amenities and business services.

🚩 Check prices and availability at Jaypee Vasant Continental Hotel

What if I’m a Solo Woman but Can’t Stay at a Luxury Hotel with Female Only Floors?

Location is key here. Find a hotel in a better South Delhi neighbourhood with amenities, people and transportation options close by. As a solo female traveller and someone that knows the Delhi neighborhoods and where to stay, these are my top picks for every woman on a budget:

• Minimalist Poshtel & Suites .

Choose a hotel that is right in the heart of Connaught Place like Radisson Blu Marina Hotel Connaught Place or Hotel Palace Heights , both mid-range hotels.

The centre of Connaught Place is a hive of activity in a walkable, colonnaded setting. There are always people around and you won’t have to go far for restaurants, shops or the Palika Bazaar . There are attractions within walking distance and plenty to keep you occupied. The Rajiv Chowk metro station is right there, making everything in Delhi accessible.

Another good option is accommodation in Hauz Khas Village . This a lively urban village in South Delhi that is full of restaurants, bars, shops and cafés and has a lot of pedestrian traffic.

There aren’t many hotels in Hauz Khas Village, but there is a Minimalist Poshtel & Suites (mid-range, Japanese/Scandinavian minimalist decor) and Airbnbs.

Even though Connaught Place and Hauz Khas Village are high traffic, walkable areas with more tourists, it’s still not a good idea to be out alone long after sunset. Follow the tips on how to keep safe in Delhi .

Best Hotels in Delhi for Families

South or Central Delhi are the best parts of the city to stay in with children. These are nicer areas and many kid friendly attractions and sites are close by. Family friendly hotels with pools, babysitting and special kids activities are:

• Maidens Hotel (luxury)
• Taj Palace (luxury)
• Sheraton New Delhi (mid-range)

Best Pet Friendly Delhi Hotels

Delhi has quite a few pet friendly hotels . Although these currently allow pets, I recommend contacting reservations before making your booking to confirm the pet policy has not changed. Most hotels charge a fee for checking in with a dog or cat.

A quiet room, away from high traffic areas and unfamiliar noises will help put your companion at ease in strange surroundings.

Delhi is reasonably dog-friendly and there are many places you can bring your canine companion .

Pet Friendly Hotels in Central Delhi

• Jaypee Vasant Continental (mid-range)
• Ambassador, New Delhi (mid-range)
• Bungalow 99 (mid-range)
• Let’s Bunk Poshtel & Suites (budget)

Pet Friendly Hotels Close to the Delhi Airport

• Andaz Delhi (luxury)
• The Leela Ambience (luxury) – for stays 7 days or longer in the Residence section
• Ibis New Delhi (mid-range)
• Vivanta by Taj (mid-range)

While these airport hotels are pet friendly, Aerocity itself does not allow pets in any of the shopping or restaurant areas. There are wide sidewalks though, for dog walking.

India’s Hotel Aggregators: OYO Hotels , Fabhotels & Treebo in Delhi

These are all budget hotel brands/aggregators that you will likely come across while searching for accommodation. Although each brand is supposed to deliver a uniform level of service at their hotels, quality and amenities can vary greatly. Check reviews carefully.

Prices start at US$20 a night.

Airbnb is a great option for a longer stay in Delhi. Before moving to Delhi I often rented an Airbnb with my dog – it was much more convenient for stays longer than a few days.

South Delhi is the best part of the city to rent an Airbnb. That’s where the nicest residential neighbourhoods are, and the area is well connected by metro. It’s also where many of the monuments, attractions and markets are located.

Areas like Greater Kailash I, Hauz Khas, Defence Colony, Lodhi Colony, Safdarjung, Jorbagh, Nizamuddin West, Chanakyapuri and Vasant Vihar are all good options.

My favourite area to stay in is Green Park (part of Hauz Khas), a very quiet and leafy residential enclave. Before I discovered Green Park, I often stayed in Hauz Khas Village which is also excellent, but more lively than Green Park.

• Duchatti@Haveli Loft in Green Park
• Hauz Khas Village Apartment

Tips for Staying at an Airbnb in Delhi

• Make sure there is a RO water filtration system or the host provides ample drinking water – tap water is not safe to drink in Delhi
• In winter (December and January) make sure there is a heater and air purifier
• In summer (May – September) make sure there is AC
• Confirm the bathroom has a water geyser for hot water
• Know which neighbourhood gate is open after dark and where it is

FAQ Where to Stay in Delhi – Best Areas and Hotels for Every Budget

South Delhi is the best location to stay in. It is a nicer part of the city and close to many sites and the metro.

Aerocity is the best place to stay near the airport. It has many 4 and 5 star hotels, dining and shopping options.

New Delhi is much better to stay at than Old Delhi. New Delhi is greener, safer and less congested than Old Delhi. Old Delhi is very important historically and you should visit, but do not stay there!

No, you should not stay in Paharganj. It is known as the backpacker area of Delhi, full of cheap accommodation. The area is congested, polluted, noisy and not that safe to return to at night. There are better budget options in South and Central Delhi.

The Wrap-up on Where to Stay in Delhi for Every Budget

Delhi has many options at every budget – visitors have plenty of choice about where to stay in the city.

Luxury hotels are on par with those around the world, and there are many clean and comfortable mid-priced properties. When it comes to budget accommodation, Delhi is not the kind of the city you want to book the cheapest room in – it’s more important to find a budget-friendly room in a good area.

If you’re planning to visit the Taj Mahal while in Delhi, here are my top recommendations for hotels in Agra .

Don’t forget travel insurance! It’s always a good idea to carry travel insurance just in case something goes wrong. I really like and use SafetyWing

How to Choose the Best Accommodation in Delhi, India – for Travellers

As the first stop on arrival in India for many international travellers, deciding on where to stay in Delhi, India can be an overwhelming task, especially if you’re visiting New Delhi for the first time. 

As a sprawling city of over 20 million people, Delhi extends on and on into suburban cities – making where you choose to stay in Delhi really important – especially if you don’t want to spend most of your visit stuck in a big traffic jam! The answer to where is the best place to stay in Delhi is fortunately not that difficult to answer, once you know where to look.. So read on! 

One of the problems of working out where to stay in New Delhi, is that not all areas of the city are safe or good options for tourists. Unfortunately, some of the best known tourist ghettos are just that, and are distinctly seedy – so in this blog I’m going to guide you through finding the best hotels in Delhi – but also where NOT to stay in Delhi. 

After 8 years of visiting Delhi, many as a solo female traveller, I’ve learned a thing or two about where the best accommodation in Delhi is and where the best place to stay in Delhi for tourists is. 

So for all you need to know about how to find safe hotels in Delhi, which New Delhi neighbourhoods are the best, and how to find the best Delhi hotels and guest houses, read on! 

Delhi – Where to Stay – Quick Comparison Chart

Where to stay in delhi for tourists – area guide.

When looking for a safe place to stay in Delhi , choosing the right area to stay in is super important. Different areas of Delhi have their own unique vibes – some are relaxed, easy-going and relatively green with lots of eating and shopping options, while others are not safe to stay in. 

• Paharganj / Area next to New Delhi Railway station – Unfortunately perhaps the best known backpacker enclave in Delhi is also one of the really not great areas to stay in Delhi. From touts who surround you from the minute you exit New Delhi railway station or approach this area and try to direct / misdirect you to hotels that will give them commission, to dirty small box rooms with no windows, the worst thing about this area is it is also New Delhi’s red light district, littered with brothels, and as such it is not safe to walk around at night alone in for women. Despite the temptingly cheap budget hotels in Delhi here, I really do not recommend staying in Paharganj unless you have a super early/late train you are catching from New Delhi railway station and you don’t mind somewhere very basic to rest your head for a few hours. 
• Connaught Place (CP)  – Located right in the heart of New Delhi, CP is one of the first options you’ll probably come across when searching for where to stay in Delhi, India. If you want to be in the thick of everything, this is a good option – with lots of shops and restaurants around, and access to Rajiv Chowk metro station on your doorstep for quick access around the city. However, the downsides are some not great hotels (check reviews before booking – with the better options being a couple of blocks away from CP itself), a lot of loud traffic, and there are also touts who approach tourists here so beware offers of help, and of course the dreaded “shopping tours” by tuk-tuk/auto. 
• Old Delhi – If you want to soak up the ancient atmosphere of Delhi and the thought of being surrounded by twisting lanes and spice markets is your thing, then consider staying in Purani Dilli – arguably the true heart of India’s capital city. There are some beautiful Havelis (restored traders houses) which you can stay at.You’re also just a stones’ throw from the Jameh Masjid, Red Fort and Old Delhi sights at Chadni Chowk. The downside to this area is access at night – you’ll have to walk dark narrow lanes so it’s not necessarily ideal for solo female travellers – although the locals are pretty friendly and used to tourists. 
• Karol Bagh – A favourite area with tour groups (in case you’re wondering where do foreigners stay in Delhi) because of the plentiful options for mediocre, cheap hotels, Karol Bagh is a step up from Paharganj in terms of accommodation, but far from the best area to stay in Delhi. The main advantage to staying here is its location right on the metro and plentiful accommodation options, however I have never felt safe walking around this area of Delhi at night by myself, and would advise female travellers to go with other areas of Delhi instead. 
• South Delhi – If none of the above options sound appealing with avoiding touts and dodging seedy hotels along the way – I have better news! South Delhi may just be the place for you. Dotted with parks, ancient tombs and green space, wide streets, trendy restaurants, bars and cafes, South Delhi is hands down my favourite place to stay in Delhi and the best location in Delhi for safety as well as the general vibe. Although you’re a little further from the city centre here, the rest of town is easy to access via the super efficient Delhi metro. 
• Delhi Airport – Unless you only have an overnight or a few hours between flights, not many people choose the airport hotels for their stay in New Delhi, as the city is well connected to the airport and it is not a long drive (around 40 mins). However, if you want to be right next to the airport, then there are a couple of decent chain options in the AeroCity complex which is just a 5 minute drive from the airport terminal. Check if your hotel offers a shuttle service. If you’re searching for where to stay near Delhi airport, then recommended options include the Pullman AeroCity International Airport or the Aloft AeroCity .

The imperial new delhi, connaught place.

Best for – Grand Dame on Connaught Place

While rates certainly aren’t cheap, The Imperial is a real Grande Dame that’s a must visit if you want the traditional Delhi experience in all its glory. Accommodation in Delhi doesn’t come any finer, and you get a lot for your money. Including tons of history, a beautiful pool and a position in the city centre at Connaught Place (CP). 

Stay here and you won’t have to venture far for anything. There’s a restaurant on site for every day of the week, plus a health club, a spa and that gorgeous outdoor pool. It’s a great way to beat the heat in balmy Delhi, and you won’t want to miss the amazing bar with its cocktails, either.

High ceilings, classical furnishings and crisp white linens give all accommodation here an elegant, luxurious feel. Forget hotels in Delhi near CP when you could stay right on the famous square – where better to begin or end your Indian adventure?

The Oberoi New Delhi, South Delhi

Best for – Second-to-none style and service

I highly recommend choosing hotels in South Delhi, India. The Oberoi is also one of the biggest names in Indian hospitality, so you can expect five star style and service here. It’s the ultimate in opulence and luxury. You also get a glorious green outlook, and a location very close to Humayan’s tomb and Nizamuddin train station. 

This travel sustainable hotel offers both indoor and outdoor pools, plus a wellness centre and spa. There’s also a gym, a range of restaurants and bars, and even a cigar lounge. Dining and drinking options include Chinese and Indian eateries and an open-air rooftop bar. 

This is the finest of all hotels in Delhi South, and for service and facilities it’s second to none. Deluxe rooms are good value when you compare them to the eye-watering rates you’ll pay for a suite here. Not that it isn’t worth the money.

Prakash Kutir Bed & Breakfast, South Delhi

Best for – Safe, peaceful and family-run accommodation

Not all good hotels in South Delhi cost a fortune to stay at. My personal favourite is Prakash Kutir, and I highly recommend it for solo female travellers in particular. It’s a family run homestay with lots of comfort and charm, and is situated just a few steps from Hauz Khas market. 

A yummy breakfast is served here each day. It’s Asian-style, so it’s a great chance to try something new. Vegan and gluten-free options are available too.

All accommodation at this welcoming homestay has a flatscreen TV and private bathroom, and some rooms also offer an outdoor balcony or terrace. The rooftop patio is also a great place to soak up the sights and sounds of South Delhi. Guests – like me – love the clean accommodation, helpful staff and peaceful neighbourhood here. For safe places to stay in India, this is a top pick for sure.

Zaza Stay , South Delhi

Best for – Elegant rooms at pocket-friendly prices

This is another family run option for those choosing a hotel in South Delhi by budget. It’s slightly more expensive than Prakash Kutir, but does have a really elegant feel. The Indian owner and his Scottish wife run a tight ship at this nice bed and breakfast, located just a few steps from Nizamuddin train station.

The best rooms here have balconies and garden views, and all are equipped with air conditioning, a private bathroom, free WiFi and soundproofing. This hotel is also great for solo female travellers seeking a safe, comfortable place to stay. 

A good breakfast is served here each day and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. The location is quiet, and the fact that rooms are soundproofed also guarantees you a good night’s sleep at this accommodation in New Delhi.

Bloomrooms @ New Delhi Railway Station, Paharganj

Best for – Late arrivals and early departures by train

If you’re arriving late or departing early and need to stay in Paharganj, Bloomrooms is the pick of the bunch. It’s just across from the train station, and also only a couple of miles from city attractions like Connaught Place. This place offers cheap accommodation in Delhi, and the white and yellow colour scheme inside and out looks very attractive. 

Rooms here have all you need for a pleasant stay, including air conditioning, an en suite bathroom, a flat screen TV and a work desk. The front desk is open 24 hours, and with luggage storage, a tour desk and a safe deposit box it’s well set-up for those on the move. 

There’s a good range of single, twin and double rooms to choose from, and all are soundproofed for a restful stay in this hectic part of the city. For New Delhi accommodation by the station, this is my top recommendation.

Check rates & availability for Bloomrooms New Delhi Railway Station here

Hotel Sopan Heights , Karol Bagh

Best for – Metro access and park views

If you need to stay in Karol Bagh, then Sopan Heights is a decent option to go for. This area is often a tour operator’s idea of where to stay in India. Though I don’t think it’s the best part of town, it is very convenient for the metro station just 250 yards away. 

The rooms here are what you’d pay so much more for in the likes of Europe and North America, and there are some triples as well as doubles. All come with satellite TV, air conditioning and soundproofing, and a bonus of staying here is that there’s a restaurant on site with a terrace. 

The hotel overlooks a local park, which makes for a more pleasant view. For three star accommodation in New Delhi, the standard here is hard to beat.

Check rates and availability for Hotel Sopan Heights here

Dharampura Haveli, Old Delhi

Best for – History, heritage and Indian culture

For a real sense of heritage and place, stay at this beautiful Haveli in the heart of Old Delhi. The ancestral home has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. Not only that, but Old Delhi has an authentic Indian ambience. With a spice market nearby, this is arguably the best place in Delhi for shopping too. 

The hotel is the deserving recipient of a UNESCO award for heritage and cultural restoration, and the setting is the main reason to choose this place. Expect stunning marble floors, sumptuous silky fabrics and pretty feature windows at every turn. 

There’s a restaurant on site here, and couples can also wander the lanes of Chandni Chowk to find a good local eatery. At weekends, you can experience a traditional Kathak show here, and as well as Hindu dancing a seven course chef’s tasting menu is served. Particularly recommended when you’re visiting Delhi for the first time.

Check rates and availability at Dharampura Haveli here

Bloomrooms @ Janpath, Connaught Place

Best for – A budget stay near Connaught Place

Affordable hotels near CP in Delhi can be hard to find – but I’ve tracked down this budget friendly option in an incredibly central location. Like my recommendation by the train station, this is a Bloomrooms property, so it’s bright, clean and comfortable. 

You can expect four star facilities when choosing Bloomrooms at Janpath (which is the name of the lane it’s situated on) – and can even park a car on site. Other amenities include a communal guest lounge, a restaurant, currency exchange and a concierge service. 

King and twin rooms are offered at this place, and each comes with air conditioning, a private bathroom, free WiFi and a flatscreen TV. For good hotels near Connaught Place in Delhi without a high price tag, you won’t find anything better than this.

Check rates and availability for Bloomrooms Janpath here

Let’s Bunk Poshtel, South Delhi

Best for – Remote working or a sociable stay

Let’s Bunk Poshtel is one of the top hotels near South Delhi’s Deer Park. In fact it offers more than just accommodation, as it also has co-working space and a gourmet cafe. I recommend this one if you want to work remotely from your accommodation, or when you want to meet fellow travellers while staying somewhere more luxurious than a hostel. 

The hotel can be found in one of the best parts of South Delhi, and there’s more of a party vibe here at weekends than during the working week. Book in here and you can enjoy stylish four star accommodation, a great breakfast and access to the on site bar and restaurant. 

This is also one of the best ​​places near Delhi city centre for those who want to explore by bike. A good range of cuisine is also a highlight, and you can sample Chinese, Belgian and American specialities at the eatery here.

Check rates and availability at Let’s Bunk Poshtel here

Lutyen’s Bungalow, South Delhi

Best for – High-end shopping & family stays with a pool

If you’re wondering where to stay in Delhi with a family, then add Lutyen’s Bungalow to your shortlist. This Colonial style bungalow close to Khan market has a pleasant outdoor pool for kids to splash around in, and there’s also a children’s play park in the grounds. The garden is also beautiful and very spacious, so they can run around freely here. 

You can book single or double rooms at this hotel. Kids’ high chairs are supplied for guest use, and accommodation also has tea and coffee making facilities, satellite TV and air conditioning. A good breakfast is available daily, and Indian food can also be served upon request. 

When you want to know where to stay in New Delhi, India and you’re travelling with kids, this lovely property in one of the city’s safest areas has to be a contender. Just book as soon as you can as rooms fill up really quickly. As it’s arguably the best guest house in Delhi for families, it’s easy to see why that’s the case.

Best Things to do in Delhi, India

While you’re planning your visit to Delhi, India – make sure you don’t miss out on these top Delhi things to do! For lots more info and tips, you can check out my full Delhi travel guide as well.

• Go for a guided tour of Old Delhi – you won’t want to miss out on this magical part of the city with its winding lanes, spice markets and hidden temples and mosques
• Delhi is home to some amazing sights, some of the ones you won’t want to miss include Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, the Red Fort and so much more. There’s a lot to pack in in various areas of the city, so it can be easier to arrange a day tour with a guide for the day like this on e
• Go shopping! From luxury designer stores in Khan Market, to all kinds of souvenirs around Connaught Place, if you’re not in a high end shop with fixed prices, you’ll need to bargain hard. Shop around and don’t agree to the first price! My fave stores for fashions include FabIndia , Anokhi , and Okhai for beautiful Kurtas and dresses.
• Ride around the city in a rickshaw / auto (aka Tuk-Tuk) – but never accept offers of “free tours” – these are commission based scams which will involve taking you “shopping”.
• Get away from it all in one of South Delhi’s trendy cafes in Hauz Khas.

Where to Stay in Delhi – Useful Guide and Tips

Throughout my stay in Delhi, I not only had a chance to see many amazing Delhi attractions , but I also did a lot of exploring and research.

While I didn’t stay at all the hotels mentioned in this guide, I did visit and check out each of them. The recommendations I’ve listed are my personal favorite places to stay in Delhi.

In order to more clearly explain where to stay in Delhi , I’m going to first divide the city into 3 main areas before sharing a few places I recommend.

*Make sure to check out my Delhi Travel Guide for lots more tips!

1. Paharganj & Karol Bagh

The first area to consider is the Main Bazar (which is known as Paharganj). It’s the budget backpacker area of Delhi where there are many affordable guest houses, lots of businesses, and plenty of both Indian and Western restaurants. Probably the best thing about staying in Paharganj is that it’s just a 5 minute walk from the New Delhi Railroad Station, so if you arrive by train, it’s a really easy area to get to.

Karol Bagh is a bit further west from Paharganj, and it would be best to take an auto rickshaw or the Metro to Karol Bagh station to get there. Both areas are full of hotels and guest houses of varying levels of quality. Chandni Chowk is a similar area, located north of Paharganj, but there are only a few suitable accommodation options there (one of them I mentioned below).

2. Central Delhi (Connaught Place)

While Chandni Chowk and Paharganj are old districts packed with merchants and trade in every form, Central Delhi is where the modern business district is found. Connaught Place and the streets that lead to the series of roundabouts are spacious, lined with trees, and offer a little more breathing room than other more congested areas of town. Connected by numerous Metro stations, taxis, and auto rickshaws, you can get anywhere in the city quite easily. In Central Delhi, you’ll find many upscale hotels and resorts like the Oberoi New Delhi or the Leela Palace .

3. South Delhi

South Delhi is a huge part of New Delhi, and which I’ll group into just a single area for the sake of this guide. It feels like an entire different city from the chaotic markets of Old Delhi. South Delhi is filled with huge streets and green trees, and it has the feel of a giant neighborhood (though you can still find good street food and stores everywhere you look).

In South Delhi, there are lots of luxury hotels but you can also find many mid-ranged guest houses that are quiet, safe, and comfortable. You can easily get to South Delhi by Metro, most conveniently on the Yellow and Purple lines. Many famous things to do in Delhi are located in the south of the city, so it can be nice to stay somewhere in South Delhi as a base to explore the city.

Where to Stay in Delhi – 4 Recommendations

1. smyle inn (paharganj or pahar ganj).

Smyle Inn is located on a little walking alley just off the Main Bazar road in Paharganj. The rooms are basic but spacious, very clean, and there’s WiFi 24 hours a day. The guest house is in a great location and if it fits your budget, I’d recommend it as a convenient and comfortable place to stay.

How to get there : Paharganj is located adjacent to the New Delhi Railroad Station (which is accessible by railroad from many other parts of India, by the local Delhi Metro, and also by the Airport Express train – in other words it’s a very accessible location). From the New Delhi Railroad station you want to climb the pedestrian overpass (over the tracks), and take the direction following the signs for “Pahar Ganj.” After exiting the main doors of the station you’ll then walk out the main gate, cross the street, and follow the Main Bazar (Baba Namdev Marg) street about 100 meters or so. The alley leading into Smyle Inn is right next to a Mosque and a Citibank ATM. Take a right into the alley, walk for about 20 meters, and you’ll see Smyle Inn on your left hand side. Address : 916, Gali Chandi Wali, Main Bazar, Paharganj, New Delhi, Delhi, 110055, India Phone Number : +91-11-23584076 Prices : 1,080 INR for a double room

If you’re looking for real budget accommodation, the area to stay is Paharganj. If you just walk around and inquire at a few places you can find decent rooms for 300 – 500 INR per night.

2. Tara Palace (Chandni Chowk)

Tara Palace hotel is located right in the craziness of Chandni Chowk, yet hidden in an alley to escape the immediate loudness and crowdedness. Walk into the hotel and you’ll breathe a breath of fresh air. The rooms are really nice, recently renovated, clean, spacious, and looked very comfortable. It’s in a great location to explore the old markets of Delhi. They offer free airport pick-up too!

How to get there : The easiest way to get there is from Chandni Chowk Road (if you take the Metro get off at Chandni Chowk and walk east). Keep walking east on Chandni Chowk Road until you reach Esplanade, a busy industrial road. Make a right on Esplanade Road and continue for about 100 – 200 meters. The entrance alley to Tara Palace Hotel is on the right side of Esplanade, and just to the right side of of G.A. Marindera Co. (quality steel). Walk in the alley which will lead you directly to Tara Palace. Address : 419, Esplanade Road, Old Cycle Market, Chandni Chowk, Delhi 110006 Phone Number : +91 11 23276465 Prices : $30 – $40 per night which includes breakfast Click here for current rates.

3. Bloomrooms (South Delhi)

Bloomrooms is a new and chic hotel that caters to families, couples, and independent flash packers. It’s very clean, with an extremely modern design, and all sorts of comforts like things they call cloud beds and rain showers. They offer fast WiFi, free airport pickups, and a nice environment. It’s the type of hotel where you could be productive if you need to get work done. What I didn’t like about Bloomrooms is that it didn’t appear like there were too many local restaurants or street food options in the neighborhood, but other than that, Bloomrooms is ideal.

How to get there : Take the Metro to Jangpura station, exit at gate 2 and make an immediate u-turn. Walk for about 200 meters and then take a left to go underneath the highway (you’ll see some pet stores), after the highway, make another left and swing back around, and go straight for just 50 meters or so and you’ll see the bright yellow Bloomrooms gate. Address : 7 Link Road, Jangpura, New Delhi, 110014 Phone Number : +91 011 412 25666 Prices : A double room will cost around $50 – $80 per night Click here for current rates.

4. Saket Bed and Breakfast (South Delhi)

Out of all these suggestions, if I could choose where to stay in Delhi , I would probably stay at Saket Bed and Breakfast; It has just about everything you could want, and it’s more of a warm friendly boutique hotel than a guest house. It’s just a 5 minute walk from the Saket Metro station, situated in a gated community, and within a multi-storey luxury home. The rooms are elegant, super clean, and the staff are all very nice. Another great thing is that although it’s in the peaceful neighborhood, it’s just a 10 minute walk to a small shopping outlet center that includes a theater and many restaurants. There are also plenty of street side convenience stores and food stalls in the area. I was impressed with Saket Bed and Breakfast !

How to get there : Take the Metro (Yellow Line) to Saket station, exit at gate 2, walk straight out of the gate and go straight along the small neighborhood access road for about 200 – 300 meters. Just before leaving the estate gate (right before coming to a larger road intersection) make a left on the small alleyway. Walk about 20 meters and you’ll see Saket Bed and Breakfast (don’t miss it, it’s just a small green sign) on your left hand side. Address : 3rd Floor, D21 Saket, Near PVR Cinema, Opposite Kotak Bank, South Delhi, New Delhi and NCR, India Phone Number : +91 11 41013398 Prices : About $60 – $80 per night for a double room, worth the price Click here for current rates.

With everything from luxury resorts to budget guest houses, Delhi has a vast array of accommodation options . In a city like Delhi, it’s always nice to have decent place to come back to after exploring!

How to Spend Three Perfect Days in Delhi: An In-Depth Itinerary

A lot of people despise Delhi.

Let’s face it: this city doesn’t have the best of reputations.

Delhi is polluted, congested, dirty, smelly, loud, and scams are rampant. The air is toxic to breathe, there’s non-stop hassle to deal with, and the sheer number of people can leave you feeling overwhelmed. It’s maddening at times. 

Am I selling this city to you yet?

Because there’s just as much to love about it. In fact, Delhi is one of my favourite cities on the planet, and I fell for it from the moment I stepped foot on its busy streets.

You’ve got its fantastic food scene, the lush parks, the incredible architecture, the blend of cultures, the city’s long and fascinating history, and the fact that it’s unlike anywhere else on earth. And there’s so much beauty in amongst the challenges.

Plenty of first-time visitors to India’s capital hear about Delhi’s reputation and decide to duck in and out of the city as quickly as possible. 

I think they’re making a big mistake by doing so.

Even if it’s your first time in India and you’re feeling intimidated, don’t skip over Delhi . This city has so much to offer its visitors, and I’d suggest allocating at least three days to exploring.

Today’s post is going to be an itinerary for how to spend three days in Delhi, a list of the best places to see in Delhi, a photo essay, and a love letter to this frenetic yet wonderful city. 

Let’s get started.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Delhi?

Three days is the perfect amount of time to spend in Delhi.

Well, there are three main areas in the city.

You’ve got crumbling, chaotic Old Delhi, once the magnificent walled city of Shahjahanabad in the 17th century. This area is all about the culture shock, with so many sights and sounds and smells to absorb at once.

There’s New Delhi, which was created by the British when they decided to build a new capital in India — this part is all about the gleaming buildings, government structures, and a sense of a little more order.

And to the south, you’ll find South Delhi — an upmarket residential neighbourhood that’s calmer, quieter, and leafier than the rest of the city.

All three areas have so much to offer up to visitors.

It therefore makes sense to devote at least one day to each of these three distinct areas. I recommend spending your first day in town wandering through Old Delhi, your second day marvelling at New Delhi, and your third day unwinding in South Delhi. 

It’s going to make for the perfect introduction to the city. 

Day One: The Best Time to Explore Old Delhi!

When you picture the commotion and cacophony of Delhi, you’re most likely thinking of Old Delhi.

I recommend spending a full day in this area, allowing your senses to be attacked as you dodge rickshaws and motorbikes and thousands of people, avoiding cows and goats and dogs as you wander down narrow alleyways, smelling incense and street food and, um, things that are a little less pleasant. 

There’s nowhere on earth quite like Old Delhi.  

Start your day, though, by heading to the Red Fort when it opens. Without the crowds of tourists, it’ll bring about a peaceful start to a day that’s likely to be anything but.   

Built from sandstone in the 1600s and originally used as a residence for Mughal emperors, the inner structures have since been plundered and destroyed, yet it’s still worth visiting.

Despite being right in the heart of Delhi, it’s surprisingly calming to wander through this large area of green space, and it makes for a tranquil introduction to the city’s architecture. 

Jama Masjid is just a 15-minute walk away from the Red Fort, so it’s the next logical stop on a tour of Old Delhi. 

This mosque is one of the largest in Delhi, able to hold a whopping 25,000 people at a time, and is one of the most impressive structures in the city.

One highlight is climbing to the top of one of the minarets for a wonderful view over Old Delhi. It’s so worth doing, even though the staircase is cramped, dark, and daunting to walk up/down.

Watch out for scammers here! There’s plenty of people looking to take advantage of tourists in this area. You’ll have to pay to hire robes, no matter how covered up you are, pay for a camera permit, and somebody will undoubtedly take your shoes off you and ask for a tip for keeping them safe when you return. 

Venture next to Raj Ghat, a memorial to Gandhi that’s worth visiting, despite looking understated compared to everything you’ll have seen so far. Of course, its simplicity is the point. 

Raj Ghat is a 30-minute walk from Jama Masjid, but the walk itself isn’t particularly exciting, so feel free to grab a rickshaw or an Uber to get there.

The memorial comprises a small black marble platform with an eternal flame at one end, marking the exact spot where Gandhi’s body was cremated.

Around the memorial, there’s plenty of manicured green space that’s filled with people picnicking and relaxing, and it’s a calming area for meditating, paying your respects, and taking a break from the chaos. 

And believe me, you’re going to want to take that break because your next stop is going to be Chandni Chowk. 

You’ve never been anywhere like Chandni Chowk.

This unbelievable district and market is the heart of Old Delhi and it’s unlike anywhere you’ll have ever been before. The chaos! The traffic! The confusion! The smells! The sounds! 

I couldn’t get enough of it. 

Most of the time, you’ll have no idea where to even walk, as there’s zero opportunity to just stand and soak it all in. Instead, everybody will be swarming around you, moving, moving, moving, and sounding their horns to get you moving, too.

There was always something fascinating to see, as the video below illustrates.

As you walk the alleys of Old Delhi, you’ll be overcome by an odd, dizzying sensation, where you feel as though you don’t belong and you have no idea what’s happening. You’ll wonder if you’ve stepped foot on another planet.

If you’re anything like me, it’s going to make you feel so alive. 

Yes, this is somewhere that’s certain to leave you feeling overwhelmed, but it’s somewhere you have to see. It’s somewhere where you’ll want to have your camera to hand, knowing that there’s so much going on but that it’s impossible to capture it in a single frame. 

Still, you’ll have fun trying. 

One of best ways to learn more about Delhi’s food scene is to jump on a street food tour . I recommend the offering from UrbanAdventures .

Diving mouthfirst into a city’s food scene is the best way to get to know a place, and in India, I quickly found I was clueless.

As I’d wandered the streets of Old Delhi earlier that afternoon, I’d quickly realised I had no idea what any of the dishes were. I didn’t recognise a thing! 

That was intimidating.

With fears of Delhi Belly reverberating through my head, I’d been too nervous to go anywhere near the street food through worry that I’d get sick.

When you couple that with not even being able to identify the dishes that were for sale, I was mostly skirting past the stalls with a nervous expression on my face.

That was exactly why I recommend jumping on this tour.

Guided by a charismatic university student who has lived in Delhi her entire life, she’s the perfect person to introduce you to the Delhi food scene. This guide lives for food and she raves over getting to be a street food tour guide and how much she enjoyed eating 10 items a night.

On the tour, you’ll get to sample Indian-style shawarma,  golgappas  (my favourite!), and  bhelpuri . Next, comes the  pao bhajji  and  kulfi-falooda,  and you’ll rounded off our tour with  gulab jamun  (another favourite!) and  jalebi .

In short, this is a phenomenal activity for your first day in the city. You’ll get to explore the markets and stalls with a local, build up your confidence when it comes to eating on the streets, and — of course — sample some of the best food of your life. I’d honestly take this exact tour again because I want to re-eat all of the delicious snacks!

Day Two: It’s All About New Delhi

Hopefully, exploring Old Delhi left you feeling enthralled, but it’s heading to New Delhi that will have you falling for this city. My second day in town was my favourite — I loved everything I saw on this day. 

Up first: Agrasen ki Baoli.

If you’re planning for an extended trip of India, you’ll likely end up coming across stepwells every now and then. They’re exactly what they sound like — wells with steps leading all the way to the bottom, so that you can collect water no matter how far down it is. These days, most of them go unused, and they make for very Instagrammable scenes. Agrasen ki Baoli is right in the centre of Delhi and is supposedly one of the most haunted spots in the city. 

This is a place to grab a few seconds of respite — it’s a spot where locals come to chill out with their friends and chat, and it’s a good destination to spend twenty minutes taking photos and enjoying the ambience. 

Next, head on over to India Gate — it’s a 25-minute walk from the stepwell.

Prepare yourself in advance for a huge number of crowds and selfie-requests here, but it’s totally worth the crush to see such a majestic structure with your own eyes.

India Gate is a war memorial, dedicated to the 70,000 soldiers in the British Indian Army who died fighting in the First World War. It’s full of tourists, schoolkids, and families having picnics, as well as tons of street vendors, but it’s an impressive structure nonetheless. 

You’re going to want to grab an Uber to take you to the next stop, and you should spend the drive preparing yourself to be wowed.

Humayun’s Tomb will likely be one of your biggest highlights of New Delhi. I know it was for me. If you have time to see just one thing in this city, it should be this.

The red sandstone tomb was built in 1570 and was actually the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. It’s such a large complex that you could easily spend several hours there, depending on how keen you are to linger and soak up the atmosphere.

Within walking distance, you’ll find Safdarjung Tomb, a sandstone and marble mausoleum that was constructed in the 1700s. It has a similar vibe to the complex surrounding Humayun’s Tomb, but attracts far fewer people. It’s really worth visiting.

Lodhi Garden is a 10-minute walk away, and don’t you dare think about skipping it.

For a city park, it’s so impressive. I mean, just look at all of those structures! I’ve never seen a park have so many cool buildings dropped right in the middle of it.

By the time you reach the Lodhi Garden, the sun will be setting, which will make the experience all the more magical. You could easily spend a couple of hours walking around the old historic monuments, watching families play cricket, fly kites, and picnic on the grass. 

Now, when you think of great street art, Delhi probably isn’t one of the cities that first comes to mind, but there’s plenty of excellent examples if you know where to look.

I suggest rounding off your day in New Delhi with a stroll through nearby Lodhi Colony: an area of the city that’s been turned into a public art district. There are dozens of enormous colourful murals blanketing the buildings around here, and they’re so much fun to hunt down. 

This area isn’t often visited by tourists, as it’s not very well-known, but it’s more than worth visiting.

Day Three: Explore South Delhi

Round off your time in the city with a relaxing day in South Delhi. It’s undoubtedly been an action-packed trip to the city so far, so if you’re craving a more low-key day, South Delhi is the neighbourhood for you!

This area of Delhi is a chilled-out, green, and peaceful neighbourhood, with little hassle or noise to contend with. It’s a great spot to simply head out for a walk, wander around one of the parks, people-watch on the streets, and check out one of the local cafes. 

There’s also some pretty cool attractions to check out. 

Kick off your explorations of this neighbourhood with an amble around the Lotus Temple, a Sydney Opera House-esque Baháʼí Place of Worship that’s open to anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. There are just seven Bahai temples found in the world, and the white marble Lotus Temple is the only one in Asia. It’s a soothing spot, with nine turquoise pools and lush gardens to wander around. 

Next, take an Uber over to Qutub Minar. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this towering minaret reaches a height of 73 metres and is surrounded by so many interesting ruins and structures.

Don’t skip this attraction! It’s far away from everywhere else in the city, but so worth venturing over to see it.

In the afternoon, if you’re not yet exhausted, head to the PVR Directors Cut cinema to watch a Bollywood movie. This is a luxury cinema in South Delhi, with comfortable chairs that recline, blankets, pillows, air purifiers, and waiters to bring meals to your seat.    

Where to Stay in Delhi

Delhi is a sprawling city and there are so many options for where to stay.

I recommend opting for accommodation in South Delhi. As I’ve mentioned a couple of times already, it’s the calmer, cleaner area of the city, and you’ll be staying in a leafy suburb with less noise and a safer vibe. 

I stayed in  this incredible guesthouse , which absolutely made my stay in Delhi so much better. The welcoming owner did so much for us, from showing us around the local night market to driving us to tourist attractions, introducing us to his favourite breakfast spot, and even making a dozen phone calls when my SIM card wouldn’t activate. It’s one of the best guesthouses I’ve ever stayed in.

How to Get Around Delhi

It’s so easy and so inexpensive. 

You’ll likely arrive in the city just before sunrise, as that’s when most international flights seem to land, so you might be put off by tackling the public transport system. Don’t be! 

I took the metro from Delhi Airport to our guesthouse in South Delhi and it couldn’t have been easier. In the early morning, it’s clean, quiet, calm, and uncrowded. There’s even a women’s-only carriage on all of the trains for all of my solo women out there. 

For getting around the city, I recommend using a mix of Uber and rickshaws. Both are so easy to use and everywhere, so you’ll never have to wait long. I recommend always checking the price on Uber first, so that you have a maximum price for your journey with which to negotiate with the rickshaw drivers. It’s super-inexpensive! I paid just $7 for an hour-long Uber ride across Delhi. When it’s that affordable, there’s no reason not to use it. 

When’s the Best Time to Visit Delhi?

For the majority of my India posts, you’re going to notice that I recommend visiting in winter, but for Delhi, I think early-or-late-winter would be the best time to visit. 

At this time of year, you’re going to avoid the dense fog that rolls in every morning, there won’t be as much smog and pollution in the air, and the temperatures will still be manageable. I’d aim for October/November or February/March. Definitely avoid visiting immediately after Diwali, when the air pollution is always horrendous.

I’d also recommend double-checking when all of the attractions are open. The Lotus Temple is closed, for example, every Monday.

What About Delhi Belly, Tho?

Delhi Belly: my biggest fear. I was absolutely  convinced  I would get food poisoning in India, because doesn’t it happen to everyone?

And yet, it didn’t. Despite eating pretty much anywhere that was serving up delicious-looking food, neither I nor my boyfriend suffered from food poisoning. I believe three things helped keep us safe:

Going vegetarian!  Most of the locals in India are vegetarian — the country has the lowest amount of meat consumption in the world — so we switched over to a meat-free lifestyle, too. Note that I didn’t say plant-based, because you’re also going to want to avoid most fruits and vegetables while you’re in the country, too — especially if they’re uncooked or peeled. 

Hand sanitiser!  Much of what gets written off as food poisoning in India is general contamination from touching surfaces with bacteria on it, and then not washing your hands and touching your mouth. I used hand sanitiser on an hourly basis and took extra care not to touch my face. I also used the hand sanitiser to sterilise any utensils at restaurants, as they could have been washed with dirty tap water.

Pudin Hara!  I’m a total convert to  Pudin Hara  — peppermint oil capsules from India — and take them every time my stomach feels a little unsettled. You can buy them from any pharmacy when you get to India, but you can also pick them up  from Amazon . I took like, a hundred tablets with me, as I took a capsule with every single meal. I fully plan on keeping a large supply of these with me whenever I travel, as they were so life-changingly great at settling my stomach. An added bonus was the deliciously minty burps that overpowered the scent of curry that was emanating from my body. 

And that was Delhi!

I hope my passion for this city came across in this article because I was simply spellbound by Delhi. 

I arrived full of apprehension, expecting to hate it, but left naming it one of my favourite cities in the world. 

I highly recommend giving it a chance.

I loved this post so much! I always enjoy your write-ups of different cities around the world, especially when they’re places I’ve always wanted to visit. Did you feel safe in Delhi as a woman btw? Did you get any harassment or anything?

Hey, thanks so much, Justine! I was surprised to feel really safe actually. I even rode in the mixed gender carriage on the metro because I just didn’t experience any harassment at all. There was no groping, no touching, no staring, no unexpected peen reveals, haha. There was harassment from touts and scammers and tuktuk drivers, but nothing that was directed at me solely because I was a woman. Of course I made sure to cover up in order to not draw attention to myself, so that may have helped. But overall, I felt very safe! Would happily spend weeks alone in Delhi, just wandering around.

I confess I’m one of those people who skipped Delhi to go elsewhere, but you’re convincing me I should give it a shot next time. The photos of all of the architecture are so beautiful. Definitely worth a little bit of hassle in order to see it I think.

I absolutely agree. I very nearly skipped Delhi, but I’m so glad I didn’t. Hopefully you’ll get to see it if you return to India :-)

Well I’m sold! Looks absolutely incredible Lauren! I’ve always pictured Delhi as being busy and dirty and stressful, so I had no idea that it had so many beautiful buildings. I’d love to see them for myself one day x

Yes! I was exactly the same. It really is worth pushing through all the hassle to get to see so many of its gems. And, well, I found the hassle to be pretty fun to experience :-)

Lovely post! I haven’t been to India yet, but Delhi sounds like somewhere I’d like to visit, just for a few days as you recommend! It looks amazing.

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! I hope you do get to visit at some point :-)

Great explanation of your time in Delhi. It reminded me of all the wonderful food we ate while we were there. I never thought I would want to go back, but perhaps your article has inspired me to think about it. Thanks!

Yesss! The food! Well, the food is excellent everywhere in India, but I especially loved it in Delhi.

Beautiful pics indeed. I’m from India and I agree that Delhi is really a mesmerizing place. You just can’t get enough of Delhi. Not only is it historically important but also it holds a lot of architectural wonders.

Yes, exactly! I knew all about the chaos and the pollution before I arrived, but had no idea how architecturally impressive the city would be!

Amazing post! I didn’t think anything or anyone could make me want to visit New Delhi, but here we are! This looks absolutely amazing.

Delhi doesn’t appeal at all, even though you made a convincing case for it. I’d love to see all the buildings but don’t think I could handle the noise and pollution. I think I’d be desperate to leave!

This looks like such a fun three days and the perfect introduction to Delhi. Do you have any more restaurant recommendations for the city to share?

You sell Delhi well Lauren – one of the few people in the world who has successfully managed to make me want to visit. Would you consider spending as much as a week in the city? Maybe even a month? Would it be a good spot for digital nomads? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Great article with detailed research. This is really a great cultural city full of beautiful monuments, You should also visit Akshardham one of the biggest temples in the world.

Really been enjoying your India articles, Lauren. Are you planning on returning to explore some more regions of the country soon?

Any suggestions for how to spend an extra day in Delhi? I’ll have four days and I’m not sure how to fill the extra one in my itinerary. Your post has been very useful, though – thank you!

Great post. unlike the others here you convinced me *not* to travel to Delhi! It looks like too much and I prefer my vacations to be relaxing

THIS is why you’re my favorite travel blogger! You took a destination I had no interest in visiting, wrote a great article, and convinced me to add Delhi to my bucket list. I’m almost eager to embrace the madness of Chandni Chowk!

What a compliment! Thank you so much, Kenny!

Thanks for the great write up Lauren! Delhi has actually never really been on my list of destinations to visit, but now being an expat in Jakarta, I’ve learnt that the hustle and bustle is part of the charm of Asia and one gets used to it. I can only imagine how amazing the food must’ve been. I think 3 days would be enough for me though before I head for refuge in tranquility. Thanks again for the great insights!

Great post. Delhi is a truly awesome city and has so much to see and do. I love visiting India’s capital and one of my favourite spots is Humayan’s Tomb. It’s a great place to visit first thing in the morning.

Amazing blog. I am in Delhi for the past 2-3 months. I am stuck here due to corona. Now, when some things are open. I am looking to travel somewhere else. Well, Nice blog. Thanks for sharing this article :)

I gotta say Delhi was not even on my radar before I read this post, and now I am seriously intrigued. Your experience in Delhi is quite different from what my expectation of the city was. Would you say this is a good place for a family trip with children (around age 10 to 12)?

This phrase that you wrote resonated with me so much: That dizzying feeling when you feel as though you don’t belong and you have no idea what’s happening and you wonder if you’ve stepped foot on another planet?

I do love that feeling and I can only imagine how amazing it would feel to step foot in New Delhi. I can’t wait until we can start travelling again as India is high on my list of places to visit. Thanks for such an in-depth post!

Amazing! Very informative and detailed. India is my dream trip. I feel like it’s calling me but I’m yet to answer it. Hopefully I’ll manage to go once the situation relaxes a bit more. Thank you for this guide as it gave me lots of tips and insights

Lauren, what a post! I am speechless, totally speechless. I am trying to pull words out of my brain and begging them to make it to my fingertips quickly enough so that I don’t forget what I want to type. Let me just say again, it’s a bloody amazing post. I almost feel like I was there too. It’s hard for a post to accomplish that, yet, yours did. Lauren, all your photos and descriptions are mesmerising to say the least, Every word shouts from the screen at me as if saying: ‘Come, come here!’ You seriously inspired me. I have never been to India but now feel like I need to go, badly need to go. I am sorry to kill to the enthusiasm now with a purely practical question, or actually two questions but I really would like to know: 1 What vaccination did you need/have done before travelling? and 2 Did you travel on your own? If so, how did that feel? I have been following you blog for quite some time. Being a travel blogger myself (though just a complete newbie) I absolutely admire and respect your ability to draw the reader into your story and this Delhi post particularly is an exceptionally amazing piece. I will probably go back to it again and again, just to soak up the atmosphere and possibly mentally prepare for that journey myself. Thanks a lot Lauren. Can’t wait for more. And quite honestly, I believe you could have broken it into more posts. I mean Shartaram is a 1000-page book, isn’t it? I certainly wouldn’t get bored if your posts were like this one.

Oh Lauren and one more thing, I am soooo sharing this post. Can’t wait for your next one. Love, Sonia

Fantastic post, Lauren, you have put a great summary of things to do in Delhi!

I have been to Delhi several times and want to go again! Nothing is more rewarding to me than going to the food street near Jama Masjid and try different kind of foods. The Kebab of Kareems or chicken fries of Haji Mohd. Hussain are just heavenly!

Thank you for the post! I’m inspired to visit India the next time around – it’s definitely on my bucket list. I just wished it were dog-friendly since I love traveling with my dog. :(

So happy to know that you loved Delhi. I have been living on and off, in and around Delhi for almost a decade and I just love this city. I am glad that you enjoyed the desserts and street foods as well.

Delhi is exceptional! Thank you for sharing these moments with us

Of course! It’s such a fantastic city :-)

This is awesome! I’m excited to try those street foods out there. That place has a lot of historic events, great views, scenery, and of course watching your video makes me comfortable now to go there since people are so nice. Thank you for sharing this awesome article.

Hi, I love your article. I am from Delhi, and to be honest after reading your post feeling too happy. You have provided a virtual tour of Delhi. Amazing. Keep wandering and keep rocking.

Hi Lauren! Thanks for sharing your experience! I have a quick question. The link for the street food tour doesn’t work. Do you have the contact details of the person to take the tour? I couldn’t find anything similar to it on the internet, and I really want to take it! I’m travelling next week and so excited to live this experience. Thank you for your help!

Hi Natalia! Yes, I noticed that UrbanAdvertures doesn’t seem to be running that tour anymore, which makes me so sad! I hope they’ll bring it back one day. I had a look on GetYourGuide, and there are some similar tours, for example, this tour looks like a good approximation of the one we took, and it has excellent reviews!

I have followed and read about my country from perspectives of a lot of bloggers belonging from different countries and parts. It is funny to find out that our normal Pudhin Hara tablet plays a major HERO role in each of their India Itinerary.

Understanding Delhi’s Landscape: A Tourist’s Perspective

Delhi is a tale of two cities – Old Delhi and New Delhi.

Old Delhi is a bustling maze of narrow lanes, colorful markets, ancient Havelis, and rich history. It’s where you can step back in time and get a taste of the city’s Mughal past.

The area is home to iconic landmarks like the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and of course, the bustling labyrinth that is Chandni Chowk.

On the other hand, New Delhi is like stepping into a different world—think wide roads, plush hotels, high-end boutiques, and leafy boulevards. It’s the political and administrative hub of India, which means you’ll find all the government buildings, embassies, and the President’s residence here.

New Delhi also has its fair share of historical sites like India Gate and Humayun’s Tomb , but it all feels a bit more…manicured.

Old Delhi is a riot of color, history, and mouthwatering street food . A culture vulture’s paradise, no doubt, but it’s not everyone’s cup of chai when traveling with family.

It’s here you’ll find the narrow lanes teeming with people and the constant soundtrack of honking horns. Fascinating, yes, but perhaps a tad overwhelming for kids and grandparents.

Now, flip the script to New Delhi. Think of it as Old Delhi’s sophisticated sibling. The streets are wide and breezy, perfect for family walks. Plus, the city lays out the red carpet with ultra-comfy hotels and diverse dining options. It’s luxury with a local touch!

And oh, the landmarks! You’re never far from an Instagram-worthy moment, thanks to nearby icons like Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, and the Lotus Temple.

The finishing touch here is that Old and New Delhi are close neighbors meaning you can easily hop over for a day trip to Old Delhi whenever you want a burst of its exhilarating spirit.

So, if you’re after a family trip that offers both modern comfort and a taste of India’s rich history, New Delhi’s got your back.

Our Little Secret: If, however, you’re smitten by the raw, kaleidoscopic allure of Old Delhi (honestly, I don’t blame you) and have your heart set on staying amidst its historic charm, then I’ve got just the gem for you— Haveli Dharampura in Chandni Chowk. This 200-year-old restored mansion is a serene oasis in the heart of the action. It combines modern luxuries with a vibe that’ll whisk you back to a more regal time. Ideal for families seeking an authentic experience, this place is Old Delhi’s best-kept secret for a cozy and grand stay. Trust me, it’s like stepping into a living history book!

Best Places to Stay in Delhi: Family-Friendly Areas and Neighborhoods in New Delhi

Delhi is a brilliantly planned city, and no corner of it is out of reach. However, if you’ve got family-friendly vibes on your checklist, Lutyens’ Delhi including Connaught Place in central Delhi, and south Delhi win the trophy. They’re not just secure and safer neighborhoods; they’re packed with sights, sounds, and experiences waiting for you to explore.

Lutyens Delhi

Named after the renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, Lutyen’s Delhi the epitome of grace and grandeur. Walking down tree-lined avenues with historic bungalows on either side, each one a masterpiece of colonial-era architecture, so quiet you could almost hear a leaf rustle — that’s the charm of Lutyens Delhi!

The roads are wide, the greenery abundant—It’s like stepping into a painting! An oasis of calm, away from Delhi’s unending energy, yet in the middle of it all, this area is, literally, like a sanctuary in the heart of Delhi.

Now, you may ask, who are your neighbors in this elite enclave? Well, let’s just say, the crème de la crème of Delhi’s society call this place home. From diplomats and politicians to industrialists, the who’s who of India’s capital dwells here. It’s a quieter, more refined neighborhood where luxury reigns supreme.

Within this peaceful locale are iconic landmarks like India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan and powerhouses like the Indian Parliament , making it perfect for those impromptu educational excursions with the kiddos. With such a rich history and elegant surroundings, you might think it’s all about being posh, but there’s also an inviting warmth to the area.

That said, Lutyen’s Delhi does come with a higher price tag. So, if you have a more flexible budget and want an experience that’s as peaceful as it is upscale, then why not? Ideal for families who appreciate the harmonious blend of elegance, luxury, history, and tranquility, Lutyen’s Delhi is worth every single penny.

Connaught Place

If you could wrap up Delhi’s heart and soul into a single neighborhood, CP (technically, a core of Lutyens’ Delhi) would be it. Think of it as the beating heart of Delhi—vibrant, cosmopolitan, and rich in history. Imagine walking out of your hotel room and stepping into a labyrinth of shops, eateries, and iconic landmarks all within arm’s reach.

Now, you might wonder, why is Connaught Place so fabulous for families. First off, the convenience is unbeatable. You’re smack in the middle of Delhi, surrounded by metro stations, making it a breeze to explore the city.

You can play tourist by day—visiting nearby attractions like Jantar Mantar —and still, catch a cultural show or dine in a fabulous restaurant by evening without worrying about the commute.

Secondly, the safety factor. Connaught Place is well-patrolled, making it one of the safer spots in Delhi, especially for families. Hotels here range from charmingly historic to ultra-modern, and most of them offer family-friendly amenities.

And let’s not forget the shopping and dining scenes! From the local Janpath Market to high-end boutiques, there’s something for everyone. Little ones can enjoy a treat at an ice cream parlor while you indulge in some retail therapy. CP is foodie heaven too! Whether you’re in the mood for fine dining or want to introduce your family to local flavors at a street stall, you’re spoilt for choice.

South Delhi

Imagine a place that combines the hustle and bustle of city life with tranquil pockets perfect for family strolls. South Delhi is like the best of both worlds—a modern utopia with a sprinkle of old-world charm. It’s an area known for its upscale markets, fabulous restaurants, and green parks, making it an ideal playground for families.

You’re far enough from the chaos that defines Delhi but close enough to dive into it whenever you want. Most tourist attractions are just a quick metro or cab ride away. Plus, the area is dotted with charming boutiques, art galleries, and even some historical landmarks for those impromptu educational trips with the kiddos.

South Delhi neighborhoods like Greater Kailash , Defence Colony , Hauz Khas , Chanakyapuri , and Saket , are considered safe, clean, and full of options that cater to different family needs.

From budget-friendly guest houses to lavish hotels, you’re sure to find something that fits your family’s taste and style. So if you’re asking me why to stay in South Delhi, I’d say, “Why not?” It’s family-friendly, convenient, and oozes a cosmopolitan vibe that both you and your family will adore.

And hey, let’s not forget Vasant Kunj ! This South Delhi neighborhood is a total lifesaver for families looking to stay close to the airport. No more stress about Delhi’s unpredictable traffic when you’ve got an early-morning or late-night flight! It’s all about convenience wrapped in comfort.

A Little Insider Wisdom: While the budget-friendly room rates in Old Delhi areas like Karol Bagh and Paharganj might seem tempting, I’d recommend giving them a miss when you’re traveling with the fam. You see, these neighborhoods are super congested, and let’s just say don’t precisely prioritize comfort for families on their agenda. Trust me, the hustle and bustle here might be more than your tribe can handle. So if you’re looking for a more relaxed, family-friendly vibe, you’ll want to set your sights elsewhere.

21 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Delhi & New Delhi

Written by Bryan Dearsley Updated Dec 28, 2023

Delhi is both a union territory within India, as well as a city, and features two very different worlds: New Delhi and Old Delhi. The former, inaugurated by the British in 1931 to serve as the imperial capital, is the nation's modern capital and seat of government, while Old Delhi is considered by many as the symbolic heart of the greater metropolitan area.

One of the most populous regions in the world – it boasts a population of nearly 20 million people – Delhi is a heady mix of tradition and modernity, and is important as both a religious center and India's busiest international gateway. Its history is as old as the ancient Yamuna River, one of the most sacred rivers in Hinduism and a natural dividing line between New Delhi to the west and Old Delhi to the east.

Things to see and do in Delhi and New Delhi are plentiful and include experiencing its diverse arts and crafts industry, its many magnificent monuments, and countless performing arts venues. The area is also well known for its excellent cuisine, which includes delicacies from every corner of India. Delhi is also a shopper's paradise with numerous bazaars and markets, including Chandni Chowk, the country's most famous commercial area.

Find the best places to visit in this bustling, vibrant city with our list of the top tourist attractions in Delhi, India.

The beautiful Red Fort (Lal Qila) was built by Shah Jahan in 1648 and served as the seat of Mughal power until 1857. This stunning structure, with its tall, red sandstone walls covers an area of more than two square kilometers, the entirety of which is crescent shaped and surrounded by a moat.

The impressive main entrance, the Lahore Gate, is so named as it faces towards Lahore in Pakistan, while the even grander Delhi Gate was used by the emperor for ceremonial processions. Entering through the Lahore Gate, visitors reach Chhatta Chowk, a 17th-century covered bazaar where items such as silks, jewelry, gems, and silverware can be purchased, along with souvenirs and food items.

The Naubat Khana within the Red Fort once housed the musicians who played for the emperor, and its fine galleries still contain many interesting musical instruments such as kettledrums, gongs, and cymbals. Diwan-i-Am, the Hall of Public Audiences, where the emperor would receive his subjects, is also worth seeing for its stunning white marble.

Completed in the 12th century, the beautiful Qutub Minar is India's tallest minaret. It's also now a UNESCO Word Heritage Site that attracts many international visitors eager to climb to the top for its breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

This ornate five-story tower rises more than 70 meters and is covered with intricate carvings featuring the history of Qutub along with inscriptions from the Koran. It's also notable for being constructed of a number of different types of stone (the first three stories are made of red sandstone, while the fourth and fifth stories were built with marble and sandstone).

The complex also includes the Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid, a mosque at the base of the tower; a gateway built in 1310; and the tombs of Altamish, Alauddin Khalji, and Imam Zamin. Also worth seeing is the 2,000-year-old Iron Pillar, the Alai Minar.

One of the most popular New Delhi parks among locals, the 90-acre Lodi Gardens is well-worth including on your Delhi itinerary. In addition to its lush gardens, the park contains numerous relics from the Lodi period pre-1600s, including a variety of important tombs and ruins.

Architectural highlights include 15th-century mausoleums containing the remains of the Lodi Sultans, as well as a picturesque triple-domed mosque, the Glazed Dome, known for its blue tiles, and the ruins of a huge dome dating from around 1490. Be sure to also look for the Athpula, an eight-pier bridge dating from the 16th century with its attractive columns and arches that span the park's lake.

Lodi Gardens is also known for its flora and fauna, including more than 100 species of native trees, 50 species of butterflies, and plenty of birdlife. It's also home to the country's National Bonsai Park.

While in the vicinity, take the short five-minute walk to the popular Khan Market. This bustling (and very safe) area in fact ranks among the world's most prestigious shopping districts, with luxury brands rubbing shoulders with street vendors selling local delicacies.

Address: Lodhi Road, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Delhi's most important Sikh place of worship, the 18th-century Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is located near Connaught Place and is well worth a visit. Highlights include its magnificent pool, the Sarovar, at the heart of this large complex, as well as its famous gold dome and flagpole.

Also of note is the large temple building itself, along with its art gallery and a small museum dedicated to the history of the Sikh religion. Visitors are always welcome here, and an excellent meal is available at no cost in the large Gurdwara Kitchen. All that is asked in return is your hair be covered and shoes removed (free headscarves and shoe storage are provided).

The magnificent Bahá'í House of Worship, also known as the Lotus Temple due to its nine sides and stunning central dome, is an architectural masterpiece. Constructed of white concrete and marble, the entire structure looks as delicate as the flower it resembles. Rising from the surrounding nine pools of water, it almost appears as if it might burst into bloom at any moment.

Built in 1986, the temple has since attracted more than 70 million visitors, making it one of the world's most visited attractions. Interestingly, this remarkable place of worship has no idols, religious pictures, or outward symbols of religion.

Another modern day temple worthy of a visit is the ISKCON Temple , one of the country's biggest Krishna temple complexes.

Looking a little like the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the equally impressive India Gate is a magnificent stone arch built as a memorial to Indian soldiers killed in WWI. An eternal flame burns beneath the massive structure, and its walls are inscribed with the names of more than 90,000 soldiers who died in the conflict.

Standing on a base of red stone and featuring a shallow domed bowl on top that is occasionally filled with burning oil (usually only on important anniversaries), the structure dominates the parkland around it, an always busy area with crowds of tourists and locals alike enjoying a picnic or simply relaxing.

For a real treat, try to see the India Gate at night, considered one of the top free things to do in New Delhi. It's a spectacular sight when it and nearby fountains are floodlit.

Address: Rajpath, India Gate, New Delhi, Delhi, India

The Jama Masjid is one of India's largest mosques and was the final architectural feat of Shah Jahan. Completed in 1658, this beautiful structure features three gateways, four angled towers, and two 40-meter-high minarets built using red sandstone and white marble and attractively alternated in vertical stripes.

Visitors can climb to the top of the southern minaret for spectacular views of Old Delhi, and afterwards visit the large central pool used for washing before prayers. Please note: visitors must take off their shoes and be appropriately dressed before entering; non-Muslims aren't permitted during prayers.

Afterwards, be sure to visit Chandni Chowk , Old Delhi's massive main thoroughfare and a market area dedicated to shopping and eating. Of particular interest are Naya Bazaar and Gadodial, famous spice markets where you'll see hundreds of items displayed including aniseed, ginger, pomegranate, saffron, lotus seeds, pickles, and chutneys.

Address: Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Set in a lovely, large square garden, Humayun's Tomb is a lofty mausoleum constructed of white marble and red sandstone. It was designed as a prototype of the Taj Mahal in Agra and is an excellent example of Mughal architecture.

Built in the mid-16th century by Haji Begum as a memorial to her husband by Humayun's senior widow, the tomb is surrounded by lush formal gardens and other tombs including Humayun's barber and the Tomb of Isa Khan (the architect of the Taj Mahal), a fine example of Lodi architecture and octagonal in shape.

A fun thing to do is to try and catch a glimpse of this spectacular structure after nightfall when it's illuminated.

Address: Mathura Road, Nizamuddin, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Although only recently completed (it opened in 2007), the splendid Hindu Akshardham temple looks like it could be centuries old. Festooned with intricate and elaborate carvings, this magnificent building attracts countless visitors for its majestic beauty.

Highlights include the stunning 43-meter-high main monument with its rich carvings of animals, plants, gods, dancers, and musicians, all made from pink sandstone and marble. Of particular note are the 234 ornate pillars supporting its nine domes, as well as a stunning stone tribute to elephants, the centerpiece of which is a massive 3,000-ton statue of one of these beasts.

Other features of interest include a theater showing a movie tracing the building's construction, a fun 15-minute boat ride depicting India's rich history and diverse culture, and the spectacular Yagnapurush Kund, a large musical fountain that is a particular treat when lit up at night.

Although often overlooked, as most tourists head straight for the more famous Red Fort, Purana Qila (Old Fort) is well-worth squeezing into your Delhi travel itinerary. Boasting a past that stretches back some 2,500 years, much of the current impressive edifice dates back to the 1500s, although evidence of earlier structures dating back to the 3 rd century have been discovered.

The present structure played an important role in the region's affairs for centuries and was particularly influenced by the Muslim religion, as evidenced by building's such as the Qila-i-Kuna Mosque , a single-dome place of worship built in 1541. The site covers an area of two square kilometers, and you'll enjoy exploring its thick ramparts and three large gates, an especially impressive sight during the nightly illuminations.

The 200-acre Mehrauli Archaeological Park is also worthy of a visit and features numerous important structures, some of which date back more than 1,000 years. Highlights include the old ruins of Lal Kot, along with more recent evidence of occupation by the British during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Address: Mathura Road, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Rajpath, also known as the King's Way, is New Delhi's traditional ceremonial boulevard. It runs from Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official presidential residence, past such important city landmarks as Vijay Chowk and India Gate all the way to the National Stadium .

This broad avenue is flanked by trees, grass, and ponds, and comes alive each January 26th during the Republic Day Parade. This special occasion is marked by countless thousands gathering to celebrate the anniversary of the country's independence.

At the western end of Rajpath, the President's Residence-the Rashtrapati Bhavan (once the British Viceroy's residence)-is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent buildings in Delhi. It's an attractive place for a selfie given its eclectic mix of Mughal and European architectural styles that contains some 340 richly decorated rooms.

Of particular interest is the new Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, which offers a glimpse inside the building, along with interesting displays relating to past presidents. Hot Tip: If visiting in February or March, check out the adjoining Mughal Gardens, a splendid display of plantings surrounding the President's Residence.

Address: Gates 30 & 35, President's Estate, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Numerous references can be found to Mahatma Gandhi throughout Delhi, a testament to the man's legacy. Of the many attractions related to the famed leader of the Indian independence movement, perhaps the best is Gandhi Smriti (Gandhi Remembrance), a museum housed in the property where he was assassinated in 1948.

Highlights include displays and memorabilia relating to both his life and death, including the room in which he stayed, left exactly as it was at the time, as well as the new Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum with historical records detailing his many achievements.

A particular highlight is the chance to stroll the very same gardens where Gandhi once spent so much time (the place where the shooting occurred is marked by the Martyr's Column). Also of interest is the Raj Ghat memorial to Gandhi just a few minutes' walk away on the spot where he was cremated.

Address: 5 Tees January Marg, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Official site: www.gandhismriti.gov.in

Located near Connaught Place , one of New Delhi's largest and best-known business districts, Jantar Mantar is one of five astronomical observatories constructed by Maharajah Jai Singh I in 1725.

Designed to enable occupants to observe the movements of the sun, moon, and planets, this well-preserved historic site also boasts several other old instruments on display that were once used to track the course of heavenly bodies and predict eclipses. Highlights of this remarkable and architecturally pleasing building include an enormous sundial known as the Prince of Dials.

Address: Sansad Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi, Delhi 110001, India

Another important politician-related attraction is the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum, housed in the former residence of this much-revered woman (Indira was the daughter of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and although a friend of Mahatma Gandhi, was unrelated).

Highlights include photos documenting her life and time as prime minister, personal belongings such as the sari she was wearing at the time of her assassination, along with news clippings and letters.

An enclosed garden with mature trees and flowering plants surrounds the building, and its pathway is now a memorial, with the spot where she was assassinated clearly marked. Several rooms have been dedicated to her son, Rajiv Gandhi, who was assassinated in 1991.

Indira Gandhi's father, Nehru, is the subject of the equally interesting Nehru Museum and Planetarium (Teen Murti Bhavan) set in his former residence. The museum presents the leader's life and works, including interesting items pertaining to the struggle for freedom, with highlights including his bedroom, drawing room, and the study housing displays depicting highlights of his career.

Address: 1 Safdarjung Road, New Delhi, Delhi 110011, India

Official site: www.nationalmuseumindia.gov.in

If you're able to squeeze just one more temple into your Delhi sightseeing itinerary, make it Laxminarayan Temple (Birla Mandir). It's also one of the newest such sites in the city.

This impressive looking Hindu place of worship was opened by Mahatma Gandhi in 1939 in Connaught Place as a dedication to the goddess of prosperity, Laxmi (shrines dedicated to other faiths are also included on the site, a condition stipulated by Gandhi). Spread across nearly eight acres, the grounds are a delight to explore, and feature lush tropical gardens, fountains, and sculptures.

Address: Mandir Marg, Near, Gole Market, New Delhi, Delhi, India

Reputed to be one of the best zoos in Asia, the National Zoological Park was established in 1959 and provides a habitat to some 1,500 animals and bird species. The abundant wildlife on display are representative of all continents, including numerous examples from Africa, Australia, and Asia.

Of particular note are the zoo's numerous chimpanzees, along with hippopotamuses, spider monkeys, zebras, hyenas, deer, jaguars, and tigers. A particular highlight for kids is the underground Reptile Complex, which houses a variety of snakes, including the deadly king cobra.

Among its many fascinating features is the chance to watch highly skilled craftspeople demonstrate their centuries-old skills, as well as see large collections of textiles, woodwork, and ceramics.

Also of interest are architectural displays of various regional villages, including authentic mud huts and a full-sized wooden haveli (a form of mansion house) from Gujarat decorated with traditional folk art and featuring exquisite woodcarvings, paintings, papier-mâché, and embroidery.

Address: Bhairon Marg, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, Delhi 110001, India

Spread across 10 acres, the National Rail Museum houses more than 30 locomotives and several old carriages, most of them quite rare.

Other highlights include several unique items, such as a collection of saloon cars belonging to the country's once powerful Maharajas, including the teak carriage of the Maharaja of Mysore, covered with ivory; the cabin of the Prince of Wales from 1876; and the carriage in which the ashes of Gandhi were carried after his assassination in 1948.

It’s easy to decide when to visit Delhi ! The city is the kind of holiday destination you definitely want to visit in the shoulder seasons, spring and fall. Spring (February – March) is sunny and pleasant without getting too hot. Fall (September – December) is similarly lovely!

Like most places you’ll encounter while backpacking India , Delhi doesn’t even really have a winter. It has a monsoon season (July – mid-September) and in this period, the weather is wet, humid and hot. Unless you’re used to this kind of weather, we recommend you avoid traveling during this time, as it can get very uncomfortable!

The Broke Backpacker is supported by you . Clicking through our links may earn us a small affiliate commission, and that's what allows us to keep producing free content 🙂 Learn more .

Still, most of the year is very hot and full of sunshine. Tourists travel to Delhi anytime between October and March, when all the heavy rains are gone, temperatures are milder, and the land is lush and beautiful.

Weekends in Delhi are little different to the rest of the week, and more attractions are closed on a Monday than over the weekend.

Deciding where to stay in Delhi can be tough as the city is so damned big. If you want to be right in the middle of the action, find accommodation in Lajpat Nagar. This colorful neighborhood is where you’ll find the sprawling, busy, brightly colored Central Market, one of Delhi’s greatest markets and one of the stops on our Delhi itinerary!

Situated in South Delhi, this is a great place to have as your home-base. It’s close to everything, and you’ll never be more than a few steps away from some great restaurants and bars, as well as family-run eateries and unique stores. It’s not for the faint-hearted, as it’s always busy! But if you’re looking to meet people and have loads of fun, you’re sure to do that here.

For something a little more secluded (a tough feat on any day in Delhi), the best place to stay in Delhi, is Lodhi Colony. This neighborhood is a little more upscale, as well as quieter! This was the last residential area built during the British reign and has a unique and special atmosphere. There’s a lot to see and enjoy here but in a more peaceful environment.

Other great neighborhoods are Old Delhi, where you can connect with the city’s history and enjoy quirky shops, beautiful architecture, and Hauz Khas Village. This neighborhood is where you can experience Delhi’s medieval history!

So, as you can see, there are a great many fantastic options for your vacation in Delhi. Just be sure to stay central if you only have 3 days in Delhi!

The hotel has seven restaurants, yoga classes, a book shop, and babysitting services. It is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate while remaining close to all the action.

The best way to get around the city is with the Delhi Metro. It’s quicker than every other mode of transport, and cheaper too. The trains come every 5-10 minutes, and the first coach is always reserved for women. So if you’re a woman traveling Delhi alone, you can chill comfortably here.

Be prepared for crammed coaches during rush hours, which differ according to the day! If you want to avoid the coach at these times, Delhi also has that handy world-wide app, Uber. If you don’t want it to get too pricey, you can even get an Uber Pool.

Of course, one of our favorite ways to get around any city is by walking. Stroll between the stops that are close together, and experience much more of the city than you would any other way! You’ll see so many interesting and exciting things as you explore by foot.

You can grab a city map at your accommodation, and plot out your Delhi itinerary stops before you set off. And if your feet get tired at any point of the day, hail a rickshaw, and experience another of Delhi’s cultural icons as you head for your next stop!

We got you. For reals.

Old Delhi | Spice Market | Tomb of Safdarjung | Qutub Minar | Rashtrapati Bhavan | India Gate

Wondering what to do in Delhi? We’ve got all the best for you. The majority of day 1 in Delhi is spent in the most historic part of the city, Old Delhi! Explore the structures which have formed Delhi, and enjoy the vibrancy of markets and mosques.

Day 1 / Stop 1 – Stroll through Old Delhi

• Why it’s awesome: It’s where you can enjoy the epitome of traditional Indian culture and liveliness!
• Cost: Free!
• Food nearby: One of the many great eateries where you can enjoy some local favorites is Jung Bahadur Kachori Wala

Founded in 1639 as a walled city, Old Delhi is a treasure trove of historic attractions and beautiful little details. It’s always bustling and colorful, the streets winding through gorgeous architecture and urban areas!

One of India’s best-known traditional urban environments, you’ll learn more about India, both contemporary and historic, right here. A number of our stops are in the area, but we suggest you start day 1 in Delhi strolling through and having a look around! It’s chaotic and jam-packed, loads of fun, as long as you’re ready for a crowd.

Once named Shahjahanabad and the capital of the Mughal empire, it was filled with mansions, mosques, and gardens. It remains Delhi’s symbolic heart, and there’s always something going on.

Day 1 / Stop 2 – Do some spice shopping at Khari Baoli

• Why it’s awesome: It’s one of the world’s biggest spice markets
• Food nearby: Grab something from the incredible street food stalls

After exploring the greater Old Delhi, head over to Asia’s best and biggest spice market! If you’re spending more than 2 days in Delhi, and you plan on doing your own cooking, you should definitely try a few spices! Many of these you will find nowhere else. You can also grab some dried fruit and unusual snacks to enjoy on the rest of your two days in Delhi.

It’s an immersive experience and a sensory overload, you’ll want to smell everything! You’ll want to taste everything too, but don’t try that. You can, however, take lots of photos, and barter with the tradespeople. Many of whom have run these stalls for generations.

This vast market has been operating since the 17th century, a historic part of Delhi culture. It may be just a market, but it’s an authentic Indian experience you won’t forget anytime soon!

Insider Tip: The market is closed on Sundays, and runs from 10 am to 8 pm. We’ve made it our second stop so that you’re here before the crowds and the heat of midday!

Day 1 / Stop 3 – Visit the Tomb of Safdarjung

• Why it’s awesome: Peaceful, monumental and lovely, it’s the perfect stop after all that exciting busyness
• Cost: $2 USD
• Food nearby: If you don’t feel like street food, visit the nearby Sugar Blossoms for sweet treats and a boutique feel

Displaying the grandeur of the Mughal era, this iconic tomb was built in 1754 and houses Nawab Safdarjung. It was the last monumental tombs and garden from the Mughals, a sandstone and marble mausoleum!

One of the things we love about this tomb is how relatively small the crowds tend to be! It’s beautiful and historic, but it was only recently renovated, leaving it rather unknown to tourists. So you can stroll slowly through and admire the artistry without the crowds you’ll find at most Delhi attractions! This makes it the perfect stop after the bustling market.

The tomb itself is nestled in a square garden with a lovely garden, a library, and pavilions. Catch your breath here and relax on the grass before setting off to the next stop on your Delhi itinerary!

Day 1 / Stop 4 – Explore Qutub Minar

• Why it’s awesome: It’s one of the most famous Delhi points of interest, and for good reason!
• Cost: $7 USD
• Food nearby: For something a little different, enjoy a late lunch at the Armenian restaurant, Lavaash By Saby!

Built in the 13th century, this curious tower dominates the nearby skyline. 73-meters high, the tower is made up of alternatingly angular and rounded flutings. It’s surrounded by two historic mosques, one of which is the oldest in Northern India!

It was built as a victory tower and is made up of red sandstone recycled from various temples. It’s one of the most popular Delhi points of interest, and an absolute must-see.

A lot has happened with this unique tower. Three floors were added years after its construction, and at one point, lightning struck and broke off the top floor!

There is not even certainty about who it’s dedicated to – a Sufi saint, the father-in-law of the man who commissioned it, or the muezzins who used it for the call to prayer. But whatever it’s dedicated to, it’s a beautiful and impressive monument to India’s rich and colorful history!

Day 1 / Stop 5 – See the presidential palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan

• Why it’s awesome: It’s the presidential palace, with so much to see and famously beautiful gardens
• Cost: $1 USD per circuit
• Food nearby: Grab some Indian comfort food at the nearby MP Club & Canteen South Avenue

For something a little more modern but just as ornate and beautiful, visit the Rashtrapati Bhavan! Built for the Viceroy of India, this massive mansion is an experience of Indian stateliness and wealth – something you may see little of in contemporary Delhi.

The mansion has a full 340 floors! It also has 190 acres of curated garden you could get lost in. you can join tours in 3 circuits of the mansion – one of the main building, one of the museum, and one of the extensive gardens. You can choose what you’re most interested in and enjoy a tour of that, or join them all!

The gardens, in addition to curated spaces, include forest, parks, wilderness, and water bodies! You’ll see peacocks sauntering about, and other small animals and birds.

The museum includes invaluable artifacts of Indian heritage, art and culture! The mansion, of course, includes ornate halls, a massive library, and drawing rooms. There’s just so much to see!

If you’re spending the weekend in Delhi, you can even watch the changing of the guards, a tradition that remains from British rule. Timings for this change, so ask at the desk when you arrive or check for your dates!

Insider Tip: The three circuits are closed on Mondays, and with the exception of the museum circuit, on Wednesday too. Be sure to plan your Delhi itinerary around this!

Day 1 / Stop 6 – Marvel at India Gate

• Why it’s awesome: It’s an impressive monument in a lovely area
• Food nearby: Enjoy some fantastic Indian and Mughal cuisine at Gulati Restaurant

The perfect place to end off your first day in Delhi is India Gate! This war memorial is lit up at night – which is likely when you’ll see it, considering how full your day is! It stands as a memorial for the British Indian Army soldiers who died in WWI and the Second Anglo-Afghan War.

There are over 13,000 names inscribed on the gate. There is also a flame continuously burning as a memorial to the unknown soldier, all the men who died in battle, whose names are not marked down. It’s a beautiful memorial to a difficult time in human history, and one everyone will appreciate and respect.

Reflecting the styles of the Arc de Triomphe and older Greek memorial gates, the India Gate has put a unique twist on the style and is something all its own. Watch the sunset behind it and the lights go on to illuminate the structure!

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

Chhatarpur Temple | Akshardham Temple | Hauz Khas | Humayun’s Tomb | Lotus Temple | Red Fort | Chandni Chowk

On the second of your 2-day itinerary in Delhi, explore both modern and historic landmarks in the newer part of the city. End the day off with a visit to one of the world’s biggest market roads! Many of the stops can even be explored on a self-guided Delhi walking tour.

Day 2 / Stop 1 – Visit Chhatarpur Temple

• Why it’s awesome: It’s an icon of Delhi, massive, calming and impressive
• Food nearby: Get a casual, cozy breakfast at Dilip Momos

Dedicated to the Hindu goddess Katyayani, this magnificent temple is the perfect way to start day 2 in Delhi! It’s surrounded by trees and greenery, with a terrifically peaceful atmosphere – particularly, first thing in the morning!

There are many beautiful statues of the Hindu gods and goddesses in the temple. Walk through the temple grounds and enjoy the scenic calm.

The structure is very unusual, made almost entirely from marble. It is also one of the largest temples in the world! A full 60 acres with over 20 temples. You can spend hours here, but we recommend limiting yourself to 2-hours.

Be sure to explore the surrounding area a little! It’s an important biodiversity area, with lakes, exotic vegetation, and season waterfalls.

Day 2 / Stop 2 – Walk through Akshardham Temple

• Why it’s awesome: This is the biggest and best temple complex in India
• Food nearby: You can find something yummy at the Akshardham Complex Food Court

Akshardham sits on the banks of the river, an extensive complex with much more than a temple. The name means ‘divine abode of god’, and that high title is certainly reflected in the temple’s perfection and massive expense.

Spend hours here, exploring the themed gardens, a boat ride that takes you through the cultural history of Delhi, and watching a water show.

The main attraction, of course, remains the temple. Incredibly decorated, the pink sandstone and marble are carved with dancers, deities, animals, and plants.

You’ll also find over 100 life-sized elephant statues on the temple grounds! It’s an experience totally unlike any other temple pilgrimage, unique and wondrous.

Visit the hall of values to see life-size robotic displays of the life of Swaminarayan (the temple’s main deity). Stroll along the lake and explore Bharat Upavan, a garden filled with bronze sculptures of deities and others.

Insider Tip: Like many of the stops on our Delhi itinerary, the dress code here requires covered legs till the knee, and arms to the elbow. But if you aren’t dressed appropriately, a free sarong is available, so you don’t have to miss it!

Day 2 / Stop 3 – Enjoy the peace at Hauz Khas Complex

• Why it’s awesome: It’s an enchanting medieval village and mosque, completely different from the more contemporary stops
• Food nearby: Get some tea and cake at the quaint, kitsch Elma’s teashop and cafe

For a greater feel for historic India, visit the Hauz Khas Complex! This 13th-century village is the perfect place to see how people lived here during Medieval times. It’s relatively unknown, so you’re likely to spend your visit exploring with only a few others in a peaceful environment.

The complex includes a medieval seminary, a mosque, and a stone water tank. The lush wild garden compliments the historic structures, and makes you feel like you’re walking somewhere magical.

Insider Tip: The complex is closed to visitors every Monday, so if you’re here on this day, give this stop a skip. It’s better to visit over a weekend in Delhi.

Day 2 / Stop 4 – Stop at Humayun’s Tomb

• Why it’s awesome: It’s gorgeous, the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal!
• Cost: $9 USD
• Food nearby: Get some tasty late-afternoon kebabs at Yaseen kabab Corner

Built in 1570, this tomb has a great deal of cultural significance in India! It was the first garden-tomb in the country, and had a huge influence on architecture and style throughout the centuries.

The tomb is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has undergone extensive restorations to ensure that we can still visit it and admire the historic splendor for generations!

This is such a great place to take photos, and at the time you’ll be visiting (late afternoon), it is relatively quiet. You can join a guided tour to learn more about the history and influence of Humayun’s Tomb. Or just explore the grounds on your own and admire the beauty!

If you later visit the Taj Mahal, a stop here is even more important. You’ll really be able to see how this mausoleum inspired the later one. It’s the beginning of the Mughal architectural style that culminated in that iconic place!

Day 2 / Stop 5 – Pray at the Lotus Temple

• Why it’s awesome: A really unique design and joyful environment
• Food nearby: Enjoy a good meal and drinks at The Flying Saucer Cafe

This impressive and unique place is a wonder to visit! 27 marble flower petals make up the unusual structure, designed after the sacred lotus. It is a religious worshipping grounds for all faiths, so you can choose to pray there with people from all over the world and all religions!

If you do choose to go inside, you’ll get a quick brief on what to do – primarily, be quiet and respectful. You’ll also leave your shoes behind in a secure room. If you don’t, just take it in from the outside, and get a few shots!

Insider Tip: Like many of the stops, the Lotus Temple is closed on a Monday – when planning a trip to Delhi, we suggest you book your dates around this day. A weekend in Delhi is much better.

Day 2 / Stop 6 – Admire the Red Fort

• Why it’s awesome: It’s one of the top Delhi landmarks, massive and ornate
• Cost: $4 USD
• Food nearby: Enjoy a laid-back meal at Abdul Ghani Qureshi Kabab

Also called Lal Qal’ah, this Mughal fort complex is one of Delhi’s top attractions! It’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and should not be missed when touring Delhi!

Stroll through palaces and canals, baths, entertainment halls, ornate gardens and a beautifully decorated mosque – all in the Red Fort Complex! It’s a beautiful fusion of cultures and architectural traditions and is considered the peak of Mughal creativity.

It’s the perfect next stop, just a short walk away from the Tomb! You could spend the whole day here, exploring the different structures and gardens and admiring the little details. But since there’s so much to see in just 2 days in Delhi, we recommend a visit of 2-3 hours!

Day 2 / Stop 7 – Shop and eat at Chandni Chowk

• Why it’s awesome: It’s a massive, exciting market you could spend hours and hours exploring
• Food nearby: Get some traditional Indian ice cream at Kuremal Mohanlal Kulfiwale

End off day 2 in Delhi on the perfect note. It’s one of our favorite stops on the 2-day itinerary in Delhi! Right opposite Red Fort you’ll find this long busy street, one of the oldest and greatest markets in the city.

Chandi Chowk is a full-day market, but we love it in the evening when the atmosphere shifts and the bustling daytime visitors give way to the nighttime crowd.

This massive outdoor market has some of the best and most well-priced fabrics and Indian clothing you’ll find in Delhi! In fact, it has everything. It’s the perfect place to shop, eat, and enjoy the vibrant local culture.

It’s always crowded, so be prepared to nudge through some people when necessary. You’ll find huge bargains here, and some incredible food! Many of the stalls have been run by the same family in the same place for over 100 years. It’s an experience in tradition and changing culture.

Insider Tip: Keep cash on you! You’re not likely to find a card machine here, and you don’t want to miss out. Just make sure your bag is always closed and on the front of your body.

Hostel Smyle Inn

Located in the heart of Delhi, Hostel Smyle Inn is walking distance from many of our stops! It’s a simple, charming family-run hostel with a history of great value.

• Free Breakfast

Lodhi Gardens | Food Tasting Tour | Tuk-Tuk/Rickshaw Tour | National Museum | Sri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara

There’s still a lot to see in Delhi! So if you’re spending more than 2 days here, that’s wonderful. Our 3-day itinerary in Delhi has got you covered, to see everything possible!

Lodhi Gardens

• The gardens stretch for 90 acres!
• Historical monuments and ruins dot the extensive park
• The monuments are from the 14th-17th centuries, and everything is well-maintained

Developed by the British as a landscaped setting for the various monuments within it, Lodi Garden is gorgeous! It was once named Lady Willington Park but was renamed Lodhi Garden, after one of India’s great dynasties, when India gained its independence.

The garden is a lovely place to stroll and enjoy a picnic! Flowers line the walkways, and a great many trees stretch up to compete with the tall monuments.

The monuments in the garden are open to visitors, so you can explore them and admire the historic architecture and detail. You can even join a tour, and learn about the various structures from a local guide.

Be sure to bring your camera, and try to go early or late in the day! At these times, hardly anyone will be here. You can enjoy the monuments in silence, and get some exquisite photos with no one in sight!

The garden feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. It is located squarely in one of New Delhi’s busiest areas, but once you step in that green expanse, it feels immediately as if you are in the countryside. A countryside dotted with precious monuments and tombs!

Old Delhi Street Food Tasting Tour

• Experience the city in a unique way, tasting local street foods and snacks
• Travel by rickshaw and explore Delhi’s winding streets
• Enjoy a trip to the spice market and try new things

The best food tour in Delhi is definitely a street food tour! Indians enjoy many of their meals from street food stalls – they’re a huge part of the culture here. As such, it’s a great way to experience and learn about local life!

You can either tour the street food stalls yourself and give everything that looks exciting a go. Or you can join a guided tour and try what’s considered the best of the Delhi street food scene! Either option is great, and very different.

It’s a fully immersive experience, and you’ll move through the bustling market tasting sugary jalebis and famously good Dahi Vada ! Learn about the neighborhood’s history and traditions, both food-related and otherwise. India has such a unique and unusual cuisine history!

Thankfully, there’s just as much for vegetarians to enjoy as meat-eaters. However, if you do choose to tour the market yourself, consider avoiding meat, as food poisoning can occur. If you  join a tour, rest assured they choose their stops carefully with hygiene in mind.

Jump on a rickshaw and explore the area, traveling through the narrow streets with your enthusiastic local guide and a small group!

Or, if you go it alone, we still recommend you jump on a rickshaw! Just ask the rider to take you around the old walled city while you do a bit of digesting.

Old Delhi: 3-Hour Tuk-Tuk/Rickshaw Tour

• Explore all the main highlights of Old Delhi
• Ride past bazaars and temples in a tuk-tuk or bicycle rickshaw
• You’ll even participate in a community kitchen where you can get back and learn more about contemporary India

This is such a great way to see the city! Explore the historic Old Delhi on a rickshaw/tuk-tuk . The rickshaw has been a part of Indian transport for centuries and is one of the absolute best ways to experience Delhi.

Sit back and relax while your tour guide and rider shows you the sights and tells you a bit about their history and importance! Stop and find something beautiful at the market, and enjoy how your guide navigates the busy crowd to bring you comfortably through.

You’ll want your camera on this tour!

Visit Jama Masjid, Delhi’s largest mosque and a stop not yet on your itinerary for Delhi! This beautiful structure was built in 1650, and has remained one of India’s most massive mosques all these centuries. You’ll have time to tour the mosque a little before setting off to your next stop.

Ride through the largest spice market in Asia (and an earlier stop on your Delhi trip itinerary), Khari Baoli. You’ll even get to volunteer, if you choose to, at the langar, community kitchen service.

It’s a great way to experience India. Not only will you experience more of the local culture and way of life. You’ll also learn about Delhi’s history, and about the tenets of the various religions in this city, like Sikhism and the Jain religion!

National Museum of New Delhi

• Brilliant displays of historic artifacts, artworks, statues and sculptures
• The museum covers Indian history from ancient times until now
• Carefully curated, with great facilities and helpful staff

We’ve saved this incredible stop till now because you’d be best served by spending a full day here! The museum is a wonderful experience, with so many exhibitions, and all well-maintained.

India’s history is so vastly different to the more commonly known western societies. The art, cultures, religions and belief systems that have thrived here are unique, complex and beautiful. Celebrate and learn about them here, where you can find a wealth of knowledge in all fields!

Experience the artifacts at the museum’s Tactile Experience display! Created specially for the blind, the gallery has tactile replicas of some of the museum’s most interesting artifacts. So for once, you can touch what’s on display!

The jewelry display is exquisite, and the arms and armor gallery has so many artifacts, the like of which you’ll find nowhere else! The Central Asian Antiquities has over 12 000 objects from the 3rd to the 12th century AD – gathered from the Silk Roads.

India has such a rich history, with so many empires and dynasties holding power and influencing the culture and way of life. The opportunity to actually see the things used in war, and in everyday life back then, is truly wonderful. Especially after seeing the many incredible structures on your 3-day itinerary in Delhi!

Sri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara

• A beautifully peaceful place in the heart of Delhi
• Delhi’s most impressive and stunning Sikh religion temples
• Open 24/7, you can visit here at any time of day

Famous for its unique spirituality, hospitality, and gorgeous architecture, Sri Langa Sahib Gurudwara is a wonderful place to visit. Particularly for spiritual people. You can join the Sikhs in prayer at any time of day, or simply admire the beauty of it, and the friendliness you’re faced with.

The atmosphere here is incredibly warm and friendly. The people are always happy to help in any way. You can even enjoy some free halwa!

While Sikhism is a relatively unknown religion, it’s the fifth-largest religion in the world, with about 28 million followers! This means that this temple is often very busy, as it is a holy site of pilgrimage.

Sikhs believe in one God, but also in karma and reincarnation! It’s a fascinating religion, and one you can learn a lot about here. This stop isn’t for everyone, but anyone interested in spirituality and religion, as well as human kindness, will love it!

Of course, you can also simply admire the unique architecture, the marble facade, and the golden minarets! It’s a beautiful structure that emanates warmth and can always be relied on to bring a little peace.

Is Delhi Safe? Well, Delhi has a few safety issues to keep in mind so that you can be sure to enjoy your holiday to the fullest! Firstly, the very crowded areas are places where pickpockets thrive, like in every city. Delhi just has more crowded areas than many others.

So keep your bag closed and in front of you. Keep your wallet in your front pocket rather than the back. Don’t wear flashy jewelry or anything too expensive-looking that can easily be grabbed!

Another issue is the congestion on the roads. This is one of the reasons we recommend using the metro, as traffic is a serious problem! More than that though, you need to be very careful when crossing the street.

Unfortunately, Delhi is not an especially safe place for women traveling alone – rape and sexual assault is pretty common. If you do choose to travel alone, avoid empty streets even during the day. At night, take extra care. Make sure your transport home is safe and reputable. Also be sure to watch your drinks.

If you arrive in Delhi and your taxi driver says the hotel you ask to go to is dangerous or closed, get out or ask to be taken to the place you said. Known as touts , these men are almost always trying to take you to a hotel where they earn commission on your stay.

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Delhi

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

The day trips from Delhi take you to some of the most beautiful places in India! Leave the bustling city behind and explore the more rural side of India. And of course, you have to see the Taj Mahal!

Akshardham: Exhibition, Light and Water Show with Transfers

Visit Akshardham Temple outside of Delhi city and experience the splendor of Delhi’s Hindu decor and decadence! You’ll learn about Hindu gods and goddesses, and the unique spirituality that still dominates Indian culture.

Explore the gorgeous gardens and see 20,000 gods and goddesses carved into the majestic temple. You can then watch the night-time light and water show, with the temple as the backdrop! This show depicts Hindu values like morality, perseverance and family harmony in a unique and beautiful way.

Board a boat and pass through a display of all of India’s greatest contributions to the world! It is a truly unique and immersive day trip from Delhi.

Private Taj Mahal & Agra Tour from Delhi by Car

Of course, no visit to Delhi and India is complete without seeing the Taj Mahal! This ivory-white marble mausoleum was built in 1632 to house the favorite wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan , and is now one of the new seven wonders of the world!

Explore this iconic monument in the early morning, before the crowds get too big. Then move onto the Taj Mahal’s sister-monument, the immense Agra Fort!

It’s an incredible way to spend the day, enjoying these historic monuments and relaxing outside of the city. See a bit of rural India, and have lunch in Agra.

Delhi and Agra 2-Day Tour with Taj Mahal Sunrise

This tour is for those who only have a few days to spend in India! You’ll spend day 1 stopping at the best sites in Old and New Delhi before leaving for Agra.

Agra is a smaller city near Delhi, famous for, you guessed it, the Taj Mahal. There are some hostels in Agra if you want to extend a day trip.

The best part of this tour is that you can see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The white marble blushes pink, and the crowds are as small as they’ll ever be. You may even get a picture without anyone else in sight!

Spend the day much like in the last tour suggestion, exploring the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and relaxing in expansive gardens.

Jaipur Private Day-Trip by Car or Train

Visit the ‘pink city’ on one of the best day trips from Delhi! Jaipur is enchanting, and distinctly different from Delhi, making it the perfect place to see next. You can catch a train and watch the countryside pass by, or enjoy private transfer.

Once you’re in the city, enjoy a guided tour of the city’s top attractions! These include the Palace of Winds, designed for royal ladies to look out and not be seen. They also include the enchanting Water Palace, the Amer Palace, and the City Palace, which make up the center of Jaipur !

It’s a full day of touring, and you’ll be dropped off at your hotel tired and happy.

Customized Private Day Tour of Delhi

If you’re traveling with anyone who only has one day in Delhi, then this is the perfect tour. You’ll set off on a full-day excursion, and pick all the stops in a personalized itinerary for Delhi.

Choose between museums and mosques, temples, markets and ancient complexes. You may not be able to fit our whole Delhi itinerary into a day, but you can certainly visit all your favorite stops!

Your local guide can either accompany you and tell you about your various stops, or simply transport you between places and allow you to enjoy your romantic day without stress or concern.

How many days are enough for Delhi?

What should you include on a 3 day Delhi itinerary?

Make sure to include these top attractions on your Delhi itinerary: – Old Delhi – Khari Baoli – Tomb of Safdarjung – Lotus Temple

Where should you stay in Delhi if you have a full itinerary?

Lajpat Nagar is the best place to base yourself if you’re only spending a short time in Delhi. Located in South Delhi, its central location means you’re only a short away from top attractions.

Is Delhi worth visiting?

You’ll learn much as you go along, and gain a new appreciation for India, its many struggles, and the people who persevere and make it beautiful.

Be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable walking shoes! As well as a good camera – Delhi is a photographer’s dream. But really, with so much color, life, and free access to all the best monuments (can you believe?) it’s any backpackers dream!

15 Incredible Tourist Places to Visit in Delhi

If there’s one word that can be used to define Delhi, it is ‘Experience’. Yes, such is the aura of the city. Delhi is inviting, enticing, challenging, enjoyable, enriching, all at the same time. Residing in the heart of the country, Delhi is aptly termed as “Bharat ka dil”. It's a city that gives you what you may not get anywhere. It's a career maker, Its a kingmaker. It's the government maker. It is business maker… and what not. Delhi is all about life, and the way life should be.

A unique blend of history and modernity, traditions and culture, commerce and fashion and beyond all of these, a place where all religions prevail with equality. Delhi is unique in its culture and lifestyle. While in areas like Chandni Chowk and old Delhi, you will find the traditional ways of living, places like Vasant Kunj and South Extension will give you a sense of modern-day Delhi.

The latest and greatest fashion in the country is seen first on Delhi’s streets. If you are a foodie, there’s no better place to go for than the heart of the country. On the one hand, you can get lip-smacking street food which is very cost-friendly too, and on the other side, you get to eat some of the most expensive international dishes in city restaurants.

In a nutshell, if you want to witness crazy yet sophisticated part of life, do visit Delhi at least once in a lifetime.

… And while you are in Delhi to experience the true fervor of the city, here’s a list of must visit places that you must explore. Check it out.

1. India Gate

This 42 meter high "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway situated in the heart of Delhi city is much taller in the hearts of India. Formerly known as All India War Memorial, India Gate was built to commemorate the death of 70,000 British Indian soldiers who died during First World War between 1914-21.

Even though the India Gate was constructed as a war memorial, the architectural style of the monument makes it appear like an epitome of triumph. Much similar to Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, India gate was designed by Sir Edward Lutyens.

India Gate got an additional structure in the form of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle capped by a soldier’s helmet after the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. This structure is situated beneath the memorial archway and is bounded by flames on four eternal sides. This is called Amar Jawan Jyoti. India Gate is counted amongst the most significant war memorials in the country.

What we all know is that India Gate has an essential place in the Indian history, but what many of us may not know is that the memorial has an important spot in the heart of Delhiites. Whenever there is a moment of distress or an occasion to celebrate, India Gate is the perfect spot for that.

Red Fort was built under the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the year 1639. It was made on the lines of Shah Jahan's palace in his fortified capital Shahanabad. It was called Red Fort because of its massive closed walls built in red stone. The palace not only showcases the architectural brilliance of Shah Jahan but also gives a reasonably good picture of Islamic architecture of those times.

Located at the center of Delhi, Lal Quila houses many museums and pavilions. Each pavilion of Lal Quila speaks volumes about the valor and pomp of Mughal empire.

The architectural elements of Lal Quila reflect a typical Mughal building and showcase a fusion of Timurid and Persian traditions. However, the fort saw enough destruction during the invasion of Mughal Emperor Nadir Shah in 1747, followed by the intrusion of British in the Revolt of 1857.

5. Connaught Place

Connaught Place is one of the largest commercial and financial centers of the country and the world. Popularly known as CP, the place houses the headquarters of some of the biggest Corporates. Besides, it is a fashion destination too. Some of the biggest brands in the world have their showrooms in Connaught Place.

It is worth mentioning here that Connaught Place is one of the most expensive real estate in the world. CP was termed as the showpiece of Lutyens’ Delhi. Courtesy its fantastic structure and architecture, Connaught Place is considered to be one of the top heritage sites of the city and pride of the country. The place is named after Prince Arthur, 1st Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. The marketplace was built between 1929 - 1933 and is still a masterpiece in its own right.

The Georgian architecture of Connaught Place is borrowed from Royal Crescent in Bath. Connaught Place is built in a circle and has two floors. The idea was to provide commercial space on the ground floor and residential area on the top level.

CP is divided into two concentric circles, bifurcating the place into the inner circle, middle circle, and outer circle. The three circles are joined by the seven roads emerging from the inner central park.

The government wanted to build New Delhi Railway Station in CP, but the plan couldn’t materialize due to the scarcity of space. Hence, the station was built in Paharganj area, next to Connaught Place. Connaught Place is famous not just for its architecture and heritage, but also for its cinemas and eateries.

Earlier, traders from Kashmere gate area used to travel to this marketplace. But later, it became the entertainment hub of the elite. Regal Cinema, the first cinema of Connaught Place used to host favorite concerts, ballet performances, and theatre groups. Odean and Rivoli cinemas came up later.

Connaught Place is also known for Wenger’s, the first pastry shop in the city, set up by a Swiss Couple. The pastry shop exists to date.

6. Qutub Minar

Qutab Minar, Qutb Minar or Qutub Mina spell it as it suits you. Spelling could defer from historian to historian, but the charm of the building remained the same throughout the history. This 73-meter tall minaret has five stories. Interestingly, the base diameter of the structure is 14.3 meters, while it slims down to 2.7 meters as it approaches the top.

Qutub Minar draws inspiration from Minaret of jam, built in Afghanistan. It is believed that Qutab Ud-din Aibak, the founder of Delhi Sultanate, started building the minaret around 1192. He is credited to have built the first floor of the five-storeyed minaret. However, the task was taken up by Aibak’s son-in-law and successor, Iltutmish, who has added three more stories to the minaret in the year 1220.

The Qutab Minar that you see today was, however, completed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq. There was a lightning strike in 1369 that had destroyed the top floor built by Iltutmish. Tughlaq not just repaired the damaged floor, but also constructed another deck on top of the building to complete it. Sher Shah Suri made another addition to the building while Humayun was in exile. He created an entrance to the minaret as well.

Qutub Minar is not the only place to visit in the minar complex. It is surrounded by a lot of places with historical significance. The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is in the same premises and is as old as the minaret itself. There is an iron pillar, which is very old and popular.

Let’s talk about the architecture of the minaret. As mentioned earlier, the makers have drawn inspiration from Afghanistan Minaret of Jam.

The gates give a good glimpse of Rajasthani architecture with their ornate overhanging balconies or jharokhas and pillared pavilions or chattris. While the grandeur of the architecture is sure to impress you, the interior architectures are also equally captivating.

Qila-i-Kuhna mosque and the Shermandal, created by Sher Shah, are the two noticeable architectures within the Purana Quila, that are worth a mention here.
