Red Fort & Chandni Chowk
The 17th-century Mughal fort followed by breakfast in Chandni Chowk — parathe at Paranthe Wali Gali, jalebi at Old Famous Jalebi Wala, and the chaos of the spice market.
Humayun's Tomb
The garden tomb that directly inspired the Taj Mahal — less crowded and arguably more harmonious. The Mughal garden layout is a masterpiece of symmetry.
Qutb Minar
The tallest brick minaret in the world, built in 1193. The surrounding complex has the earliest mosque in India and the 2,000-year-old Iron Pillar that hasn't rusted.
Street Food at Karim's
The legendary Mughal restaurant in the lanes behind Jama Masjid has been serving mutton korma and nalli nihari since 1913. Breakfast here is a Delhi institution.
Akshardham Temple
The world's largest Hindu temple complex — opened in 2005 but built with ancient craftsmanship. The boat ride through 10,000 years of Indian history is genuinely impressive.
India Gate & Kartavya Path
Edwin Lutyens' 42-metre war memorial anchors Delhi's grand ceremonial axis, now redesigned as Kartavya Path. Come after sunset when families picnic on the lawns, the arch glows warm, and Rashtrapati Bhavan sits illuminated at the far end of the boulevard.
