List Of Places To Visit In Delhi | Top 13 Places
Prepare for the traffic in the city when you visit, which means that exploring may be a lot slower than you think. There are taxis, rickshaws, and trains in the city, although I found it easier to have the hotel book the car for me as I wanted to make sure I was using registered taxis while exploring. When you visit Delhi do not miss out on the following places below. Below is a list of places to visit in Delhi I visited on my own while my boyfriend was working in Gurgaon. With a map in hand, I would plan on which places to hit in a day considering the traffic.

It’s hard to put your head around India’s history and culture. You’re talking about one of the planet’s oldest regions with so much history to explore. I didnt realise there were so many beautiful places to visit in Delhi. I must admit, India is tantalizing but I am concerned by the weather. Are there any suggestions you have for people in terms of dealing with its heat and humidity? That’s one of my biggest concerns.

Yes, staying hydrated, plenty of suncream, hat and you are well on your way to exploring the many beautiful places to visit in Delhi, one of India’s many beautiful cities to explore.

Whoa! The India gate and canopy looks like my kind of place. That yoga record still spinning my head and I’m trying to imagine how big the lawn is to contain that large number. I still can’t believe it’s free. Cant wait to visit all these places in Delhi!

Such a great list of places to visit in Delhi. I have now been to Delhi a couple of times, I have yet to see the Lotus temple. Adding for the next trip for sure. I wonder if there are many places to visit in Delhi near the airport as my upcoming trip will not be a long one at all.
