Un coin du triangle d'or de l'Inde, qui comprend également Agra et Jaipur, Delhi est un étalement urbain palpitant d'attractions nouvelles et anciennes, où les visiteurs trouvent des vestiges d'anciens royaumes et de bâtiments de l'époque coloniale coexistant avec des signes de développement moderne. La capitale de l’Inde abrite la plus grande mosquée du pays, Jama Masjid, ainsi que le fort rouge vermillon, le remarquable temple du Lotus Baha’i et le marché coloré de Chandi Chowk. En plus de manger comme un local, de marchander dans les bazars ou de visiter les sites spirituels de New et Old Delhi, vous pouvez utiliser la ville comme point de départ idéal pour une excursion d'une journée au Taj Mahal ou au Rajasthan.
