A city like no other, India’s exhilarating capital captivates with a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and scents. Delve into its rich heritage amid old-world charm; bustling markets; and architectural marvels alongside modern buildings, green spaces and swanky shopping malls. New Delhi’s cuisine reflects its diverse cultural history and status as an international melting pot.
GETTING THERE & AROUND
International flights arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport, 10 miles from downtown. Complimentary shuttle bus service runs between terminals every 20 minutes. By metro, the trip into New Delhi takes 23 minutes. Taxis and ride-share services can take longer in traffic but offer convenient direct transport to your hotel. You can best get around the old city and its major historical sights on foot, but become familiar with Delhi’s efficient metro, ride shares, taxis and auto rickshaws to see all the sprawling city offers.
