With parks aplenty, museums of varied nature and theater for kids where you're bound to find something of their choice, there's never a dull moment for your little ones.

North Delhi

North Delhi is known as a residential area home to the Delhi University and India's middle class. Unless you are visiting relatives or friends who live here, there is nothing spectacular about North Delhi.

Lal Quila (Red Fort)

It was built in 1648 and became the living quarters of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who mandated the construction of his other palace the Taj Mahal.

Humayun's Tomb

Named as a UNESCO world heritage site, Humayun's tomb has great historical significance because it was the first garden-tomb to be built in India.

Rajpath and Rashtrapati

Known as “King's Way" Rajpath is the most important road in India because it is littered with governmental buildings including the parliament house of India.

Chandni Chowk

The bazaars that surround Chandni Chowk, in Old Delhi, offer a colourful, heaving and pungent slice of Delhi life, with shops and stalls displaying a spectacular array of goods, from fish and poultry to second-

Tughluqabad

Built between 1193 and 1369, the Qutb Minar is the largest brick minaret in the world and a UNESCO world heritage site.

Dilli Haat

If you only have time to visit one shopping area in Delhi, then the Dilli Haat must be the shopping locale of choice. This bazaar hosts several craft stalls, with most of them rotating every two weeks.

East Delhi

This area boasts nothing spectacular. Thus, it would only be worth a visit if you want to really see the grit of New Delhi and observe how the average Jane and Joe go about their day.

West Delhi

West Delhi is most famously known for being home to the noveau rich and wealthy business individuas. Yet, this neighborhood gets a bad rep because its residents are stereotyped to be tacky and garish.

To truly appreciate India's past, you first must make sure you have a few hours to spare before diving into the National Museum's rich exhibitions.

Rasthrapati Bhavan

Known as â€Å“King’s Way,” Rajpath is the most important road in India because it is littered with governmental buildings including the parliament house of India. The road runs from Rashtrapati Bhavan to the National Stadium and has a lovely floral view with several lawns, trees, and ponds found along the sides. However, the most delight full of views is the sight of Rashtrapati Bhavan, which is now the official residence of the President of India (before India’s independence it was known as the viceroy’s residence). Rashtrapati Bhavan’s is a majestic and grand palace that some have argued is larger than Versailles.
