DoneOVERVIEW
Delhi is a huge metropolis whose urban fabric contains the remains of several historic capitals. Mughal forts, mosques and markets characterise the oldest commercial quarters, while broad imperial avenues and government buildings shape the planned administrative centre. Contemporary residential, business and transport districts extend far beyond both historic areas.
The city is best explored in sections because traffic, distance and density can be overwhelming. Food, religious life and street commerce are as important as major monuments. Pollution and heat are significant practical factors, but the depth of history and variety of neighbourhoods are exceptional.

THINGS TO DO
Browse Delhi’s principal market
Browse Delhi’s principal market for goods connected to Delhi, focusing on local makers, produce or established specialities. Check market days and avoid assuming every stall is locally made.
Taste regional food scene in Delhi
Use Delhi’s regional food scene as a starting point for tasting food connected to Delhi, choosing regional dishes or produce rather than a generic international meal. Opening days may shape the plan.
Trace Delhi’s religious history
Use Delhi’s religious history to understand a specific part of Delhi’s past rather than viewing it without context. Allow time for interpretation, not only the most photographed exterior.
