Don't let your first impressions of Delhi stick like a sacred cow in a traffic jam: get behind the madcap façade and discover the inner peace of a city rich with culture, architecture and human diversity, deep with history and totally addictive to epicureans.

Things to See in Delhi


Crafts Museum
Mathura Rd Pragati Maidan Exhibition Grounds Central Delhi

Near Pragati Maidan is this delightful tree-shaded Crafts Museum with an exhibit-packed museum and craft stalls where artisans sell direct to buyers. It's part of a contrived, yet enjoyable, 'village life' complex and is certainly a soothing escape from the city madness.

Humayun's Tomb
Bharat Scout Guide Rd Central Delhi off Mathura Rd

The must-see Humayun's Tomb is a brilliant example of early Mughal architecture. It was built in the mid-16th century by Haji Begum, the Persian-born senior wife of the second Mughal emperor Humayun.

Gandhi National Museum
Old Delhi opposite Raj Ghat

The National Gandhi Museum has an interesting display of paintings and photos about the man who spearheaded the country's independence movement. Indians affectionately dub Gandhi 'the Father of the Nation'.
