Best New Delhi Day Trips & Things to Do

New Delhi is the capital of India and represents the country's history. The city is defined by the contrast between the wide, tree-lined boulevards of "Lutyens' Delhi" and the magnificent red sandstone monuments left behind by centuries of Mughal and Sultanate rule. The skyline is dominated by the towering Qutub Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret, while the symmetrical beauty of Humayun’s Tomb serves as a precursor to the Taj Mahal. A stroll through the solemn India Gate provides a sense of the city's national pride, and the sprawling Lodhi Garden offers a peaceful retreat among 15th-century royal tombs. For a deeper look into the city's spiritual side, the lotus-shaped Baháʼí House of Worship attracts millions with its modern architecture.
