Delhi
Imperial, dusty, and more bazaar-and-tomb than a single centre
The City in One Minute
Delhi is several capitals stacked on a dusty plain: Mughal sandstone, Lutyens’ axes, and a megacity that spills in every direction. The metro is the new spine; the old city still cooks in alleys that never learned to be quiet.
Why Visit?
Visit Delhi for Indian urban history at full volume. Mumbai has the sea and the trains; this has the monuments, the winter fog, and a food map that runs from a palace kitchen to a street that only sells one thing.

Before You Go
- The metro is the city’s gift. Get a token or card before you trust a car across town.
- Winter fog delays flights; summer heat is dangerous at midday. Spring and autumn are kinder.
- Keep a scarf for tombs and gurdwaras. Shoes off is normal; follow the queue.
Good to Know
The unobvious notes are still being collected
This is where late-discovered context will live — the things travelers usually learn too late.
