A night walk in this area has a charm of its own as you see the India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, adjoining Secretariat and the Parliament lit up in night. You can also pre-book a tour of Rashtrapati Bhavan online for Friday-Sunday and experience it from inside
Delhi has the best food. Period! From Mughlai to Momos, Chole Bhatoore to Shawarma, name it and Delhi has the best.
The best place for Mughlai street food is definitely Chandni Chowk. Though it comes with its share of crowd and chaos in congested lanes but it is beyond doubt another world to explore. Try Al Jawahar for Biryani, Karims for Rolls and visit paratha wali gali to eat parathas of stuff you couldn’t imagine.
Not many people will tell you but do try momos in Delhi if you spot a vendor. If they have tandoori or gravy momos, do try!
Yes! Museum visits should definitely be included in Delhi. The largest museum in India, National Museum is situated at Janpath and brings you the Indian history fromHarappa to 20th Century in a single place. The museum has free guided tours twice a day of 90 minutes.
Other museums which are great to be on your itinerary are - Rail Museum, Crafts Museum, National Philatelic Museum, Doll’s Museum, National Gallery of Modern Art, War Memorial Museum, Sulabh International Museum of Toilet.
If you have a free morning and an early riser, take a walk around Lodhi Colony and view India’s first public art district. The building walls in this area are home to streetart from artists across the world and will give you loads of opportunities to click instagrammable pictures and selfies.
Despite being the hub of world class shopping malls, the true Delhi lies in its bazaars. Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Kamala Nagar Market, Janpath and Karol Baghare some of the most happening shopping destinations. Remember, bargaining is must and allowed everywhere while shopping in Delhi.

All these places are easily accessible by public transport and have an array of cafes, pubs and lounges. The latest addition in chill-hubs of Delhi is Aerocity which is what Cyber Hub is to Gurugram.
