There is a lot to see in city which has been continuously habitated for around 2,500 years. Just a simple momentary look around you should be sufficient to reveal the hidden treasures like Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Shankar's International Dolls Museum, Lodi Tomb, Lotus Temple and Crafts Museum. Discovering Delhi properly would take several days, if not weeks, just by including the central sightseeing and shopping places. The three days should be divided into zones according to your comfort level; which can be further divided to club places in one area.

For example, on day one you can see Red Fort, then shop in Chandni Chowk, have lunch in the famed Parathewali Gali, breathe in some more history by taking a tour of Mahatma Gandhi Park, very near to Chandni Chowk and then head to Jama Masjid. There you can observe the religious proceedings in India's largest Mosque, eat dinner by choosing from some of the famous meat dishes of the area and then head to your hotel for a good night's sleep.
The next day head to Central Delhi starting with Crafts Museum in Pragati Maidan; then comes National Zoological Park situated just at the turning of road. When you reach Connaught Place, do go and have a look at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. These are two of the most sacred places in Delhi. After that shop to your hearts content in Janpath, famous for designer surplus like Mango, priced at a measly Rs 150. Palika Bazaar is an underground market selling a variety of stuff ranging from sequined ball gowns, gaudy export rejects to pirated movie DVDs. Although it looks very quaint and charming, it is not exactly safe for women.
The above listed itineraries were just examples and you can plan you day the way you want to. There are many art galleries, theatres and museums for those interested in the cultural aspect of the city. Delhi is home to almost every ethnic minority, spiritual cluster, linguistic society, communal section and fiscal range in India and you will find the influence in probably every nook and cranny of the city. People here are free to do as they please and this unity in diversity is what makes Delhi, the capital city of India. |
