OVERVIEW

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.
