Discover Delhi – The Beating Heart of India

Delhi is a fascinating blend of history and modernity, where ancient traditions meet the vibrant energy of the 21st century. As India’s capital and one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, Delhi offers a wealth of experiences for culture lovers, food enthusiasts, and adventurous travelers alike.

The city is divided into two main areas: the historic Old Delhi and the more contemporary New Delhi. In Old Delhi, you can explore labyrinthine bazaars, visit grand mosques such as Jama Masjid, and feel the echoes of history at the UNESCO-listed Red Fort. In New Delhi, you’ll find wide boulevards, embassy districts, and impressive colonial buildings like India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan – the Presidential Palace.

Delhi is also renowned for its vibrant food scene, ranging from spicy street food to fine dining experiences. Here, you can sample authentic dishes like butter chicken, chole bhature, and world-class street food delicacies.
