Known to be the capital of the Indian subcontinent, Delhi is known to be a city which charms people with its astounding concurrence of history and modernity. Much like Rome, there are pleasant surprises waiting for you at every turn. A multi-storeyed building giving way to a prehistoric ruin explains the heady mix of multicultural vibrancy. Spending time in this cultural pot is more exotic that you would ever imagine:

Visit all the prominent tourist spots: A visit to Delhi is incomplete without a visit to all the prominent tourist spots like the India Gate, the Red Fort, the Qutab Minar, the Humayun’s Tomb, and the Garden of Five Senses, among other popular haunts.

Arrange for a picnic: The serenity of the Lodhi Gardens would be ideal for a picnic and you can sit there spent endless hours staring at the Afghani-style monuments there.

Dine at the royal Imperial hotel: This place is known for its Victorian art deco styles. For Southeast Asian cuisine, you can head towards the Spice Route and the matchless Daniell’s Tavern will offer you a delectable menu inspired by well-known 18^th century architects Thomas and William Daniells. You may also drop in at the Patiala Peg bar for post-prandial respite.

Shop at the Janpath Market: Would you believe if I say this is a place where you would find a genuine Gucci shrug at just $1? Yes, this market displays a diverse and eclectic riot of commerce and haggling. Whether it is miniature hookahs or wall hangings, wine glass sets or handmade notebooks, Taj Mahal fridge magnets or Hindu statuary, you will get it all here.

Try sumptuous delicacies at the roadside stalls: Delhi is famous for its street food. And you cannot simply miss the Tibetan momos when you are shopping at the Lajpat Nagar market. There is also a huge range of crockery and artwork in addition to the regular shoes, clothes, accessories on sale here.
