Discover Delhi
Your first trip to Delhi can be a shock to the senses. The traffic, with its relentless honking of horns, the bazaars and endless haggling, the exotic sights and smells that fill the streets, it's enough to take your breath away.
But once you've booked your flights to Delhi, you'll be spellbound by this unique and colourful place, an eclectic mix of the grandeur of the past and a new kind of future. The air is filled with promise. A holiday in Delhi is definitely one you’ll remember.
Getting around town
Those in the know suggest hiring a taxi or an auto-rickshaw or even take the Delhi metro and creating your own tour that takes in some of the main attractions. Or you can try cycling the city at dawn.
Tuck into the local street food
No visit to Delhi is complete without trying the city's world-famous street food. From parathas and samosas to colourful curries and sweet treats, you'll find plenty of delectable dishes to fuel your sightseeing.
Beautiful places of worship
Delhi is well known for its religious buildings. Jama Masjid and the new Akshardham temple are on every must-see list, but it's worth squeezing in the lotus-inspired Bahá'i House of Worship too. And don't forget all the fascinating shrines and tombs.
Paint the town at Holi Festival
Held across two days in March, Holi Festival transforms Delhi into a rainbow city as people throw beautiful multi-coloured powder in celebration of love, new beginnings and good triumphing evil. A joyous event that welcomes everyone to join in!
Have a haggle
Delhi's famous Chandni Chowk market is a bustling historic wholesale market and a magnet for bargain lovers. Families might prefer the less hectic atmosphere of open-air market Dilli Haat. To shop with the locals, head for INA market, known for its food bazaar.
