India is a feast for the senses, and its capital city is where the cacophony of sounds, tastes, smells and sights collide. Whether you want to gape at centuries-old Mughal architecture, run amok in maze-like bazaars, devour aromatic curries and buttery naan, or simply find your inner peace, this bustling metropolis will cater to your every whim. 

Delhi was designed in the early 20th century by British architect Edwin Lutyens and presents wide avenues, gleaming government monuments and opulent hotels, while the old city boasts crumbling forts, a majestic mosque and some of the world’s best street food. The city's great advantage, however, is that it’s a medley of Indian culture, meaning you’ll be able to hear soulful Carnatic music, taste succulent Hyderabadi biryani and drape yourself in vibrant Gujarati textiles, even if you don’t venture elsewhere in the subcontinent.
