Delhi

Situated in the northern part of the country, Delhi is a city and a union territory of India. Officially called the National Capital Territory of Delhi, it borders the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Its capital city is New Delhi, which also serves as the capital of India....

Delhi is for sure one of the oldest places in the world, dating back to over 5000 years ago, and it has been inhabited since the 6th century BCE. Over the millennia, Delhi was the capital of different empires, including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. This metropolitan region with 25 million people is nowadays the world’s second-largest urban area. When you come to Delhi, you will notice how it bridges contrasting worlds. It is a surprising fusion of ancient and modern, a genuine melting pot of cultures and traditions. While Old Delhi displays a kaleidoscope of historical landmarks, New Delhi offers British colonial architecture, tree-lined avenues and urbane skyscrapers. No wonder Delhi is one of the world’s fastest-growing metropolises. A non-exhaustive list of its attractions includes Qutub Complex, Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb (all three UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Akshardham Temple, Lotus Temple, Lal Mandir, Laxminarayan Temple, Jama Masjid, etc.
