Delhi Travel Guide - Introduction
Delhi is a perfect mixture of new and old with Old Delhi dating back to the 17th century and New Delhi bursting at its seams with contemporary city life. In Old Delhi, there are a number of places to visit that carry the heritage and history of the days of Rajas and Sultans.
Ancient forts, mosques, mausoleums and historical museums tell the story of Delhi’s ancient history. New Delhi tells a different story, one in which the British played a major role, with its imperial buildings and British layout of the city. Together, the two have an allure and mystery that cannot be resisted.
Delhi is an ideal destination for those who love to shop, not only because of the fascinating markets, but also because of the upscale shopping that is available throughout the entire city.
