Delhi has been a capital for centuries, and you can see it in the city's monuments. Humayun's Tomb, the Red Fort and the Qutb Minar are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk is still one of the busiest markets in India.
New Delhi, laid out in the 1920s and 1930s, brings broad avenues, India Gate and leafy residential areas. Delhi is also the start of the Golden Triangle route to Agra and Jaipur.
Before you go
Entry and visas
Entry rules for India depend on your passport and the purpose of your trip, and they can change. Check the official sources below before you book and again shortly before you travel. If you need a visa, apply only through India's official visa portal, run by its Bureau of Immigration, and be wary of other sites that ask for extra payment.
Health
See TravelHealthPro's India page and book a travel health appointment several weeks before you go. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, take care with food and water hygiene, and use sun protection, as average highs are near 40°C in May and June. Delhi's air quality is often poor from November to February, so check local air quality reports during your stay.
Money
India's currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Carry some cash for markets, street food stalls and auto rickshaws, tell your bank before you travel, and check what your card charges for payments and withdrawals abroad.
General information only, not legal or medical advice. Rules change, so check the official source before you travel.
