New Delhi

Tughluqabad

Fortress

The immense and brutal fortifications of Tughluqabad are an impressive monument to the militarism of the Tughluqs, an antidote to any idea that the Delhi Sultans were merely effete builders of mosques and palaces. Nowadays, the only living things that visitors are likely to see at the vast, barren, sun-scorched site are goats, donkeys and the occasional archaeologist, although in the 14th century, the citadel, the third city of

South Delhi

Town

In South Delhi you may be amazed by the grandeur of the houses, for it is where the rich and famous reside. For instance, areas known for their poshness are the Greater Kailash, Sainik Farms, Vasant Vihar, and West End. However, unlike North Delhi, South Delhi offers some great markets and shops.

Dilli Haat

Market

If you only have time to visit one shopping area in Delhi, then the Dilli Haat must be the shopping locale of choice.

National Museum

Museum

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. The more interesting displays include the carved pillars and statues from the Maryan empire (250 BC), sandstone figures from Pallava temples, Naga models and masks, excavations from the Indus Valley civilizations, Gupta terracottas dating from AD400, stone and bronze Buddhist statues, silk paintings from Central Asia, Tibetan manuscripts, and Mughal clothing, weapons, tapestries and various other Mughal items.

Rasthrapati Bhavan

Building

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.
