Delhi · 4 Days

Delhi — In Depth

Delhi with the time to go deep — Shahjahanabad, Lutyens' Delhi, the tombs, and a full day for crafts, museums and markets.

Day by Day

4 Days, In Full

Four days is enough to stop rushing Delhi. The old walled city gets a full day on foot. New Delhi and the garden-tombs get another. A third day is given over to the Crafts Museum, the state emporiums and the markets, for anyone who wants to shop or to understand Indian textiles and handicrafts. Arrival day is loose. It is the itinerary for a repeat visitor, a slow traveller, or someone based in Delhi for work with a few days spare.

Arrival in Delhi — Mughal Landmarks

A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.

Old Delhi in Depth — Shahjahanabad on Foot

A whole day inside the walled city Shah Jahan built. The Jama Masjid first, then a long walk through the lanes: the spice market at Khari Baoli, the silver and wedding-card bazaars, a working Jain temple with a bird hospital, and the crumbling merchant havelis. Lunch is a Mughlai thali at a decades-old kitchen near the mosque. The afternoon takes in the Red Fort. It is the day that makes sense of the rest of Delhi.

The ceremonial Kartavya Path axis in Lutyens' New Delhi, its broad avenue running toward the domed Secretariat blocks and Rashtrapati Bhavan on Raisina Hill.

New Delhi — Lutyens' Capital & the Garden Tombs

A calmer day in the green, planned half of the city. The morning is the imperial layout: the Kartavya Path axis, India Gate, and the sandstone Secretariat buildings on Raisina Hill, with a drive past the President's house. Then Humayun's Tomb, the sixteenth-century garden-tomb that led to the Taj. The afternoon is the Lodhi Garden, walking among the fifteenth-century domes, and time in Khan Market. An easy, shaded day.

Delhi — Crafts, Museums & Markets

A day for shopping and looking, at a slower pace. The Crafts Museum first, with its village of workshops where weavers, potters and painters work in the open. Then the state emporiums on Baba Kharak Singh Marg, each selling the textiles and handicrafts of one region under one roof, at fixed prices. The afternoon can be Dilli Haat, an open-air craft market, or the boutiques of Hauz Khas village beside a medieval reservoir. Good for gifts and for a break from monuments.
