After Hotel Ajanta driver's scam and the extortion by hot-water begging, I thought I was done with Delhi, especially after a noisy night. The next morning, I saw gentle cows, gentle breakfast vendors, and gentle worshipers, and I decided to stay and explore. The best way to see Delhi is 1) Do not get a guide; they tend to be pushy and impatient; 2)get a Metro map 3) Do your homework ( reading). Everyone has his/her opinion on different places to go or to see. I found the best place to go is Chadni Chowk ("Chowk" means "junction"), Old Delhi. That's where you find all religions live side by side, and it's like a movie set. No need to pay the outrageous INR 250 entrance fees "for foreigners" to see the Red Fort; Jama Masjid (Jama Mosque) is free, and just as great. No rest rooms at McDonald's. No rest rooms at Metro stations either. Compare with NYC, Delhi is slightly dirtier, slightly more polite, slightly more crowded, more religious, and much more historical, much much more economical place. Shut out the western mentality and begin enjoy Delhi!

I thought Delhi would not be as green but when we arrived we found it was just opposite of our imagination. Nice city.

On my visit to New Delhi the capital of India, my family and I stayed at Hotel Sri Nanak Continental situated in the heart of city Delhi. I enjoy staying there because it was very clean hotel & they provided me with Internet through wi-fi to use my Laptop in my room. The bathroom was very clean compared to other hotels I've stayed in previously. I recommend others to stay at Sri Nanak as they provided me complimentary pickup from airport. A great service!

Inn at Delhi - Bed and Breakfast Homestay Delhi, India - Mel Green. Date of travel: Jun 2008
Delhi was hot and chaotic. We did not do a proper research, should have gone in October -December, but nonetheless was an unforgettable experience. Loved the small trinkets that we collected and the food.

I travelled India once in my life and I found a few good cities like Chandigarh, Shimla, Dehradun, etc. and Delhi is one of them. I also visited one of the wonders which is Taj Mahal in Agra - it's really a gorgeous city to travel.

Delhi, a capital city of the Federal Republic of India. It is one of India's fastest growing cities. It has sprawled over the West Bank of the river Yamuna, straddling the river. The city has two distinct parts, Old Delhi & New Delhi. Old Delhi is centered on the Red Fort built by Emperor Shah Jehan between 1636 & 1658. The streets of Old Delhi are narrow & bustling. The beauty & serenity lies inside the courts of the main buildings. Delhi has some of the finest museums in the country. Its boutiques and shopping arcades offer access to a wealth of traditional and contemporary crafts, from all over the country. New Delhi was proclaimed the capital of India by the British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), & is tree-lined & spacious.
