Delhi — India's sprawling capital — is a city where 5,000 years of history and a dynamic 21st-century metropolis collide in the most exhilarating way. Old Delhi's narrow lanes are lined with Mughal-era mosques, spice markets, and street food stalls that have been feeding the city for centuries. New Delhi, designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens, offers wide boulevards, grand colonial buildings, and some of India's finest museums. In between lie the ruins of seven ancient cities, each with their own story — from the towering Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb to the serene Lotus Temple and the political heart of India at Rajpath. Delhi is the perfect starting point for any India adventure.
