5 Tourist attractions in Delhi

Delhi, the capital of India, has a rich history. The city is dotted with spellbinding mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied the city. The contrast between rambling Old Delhi and well planned New Delhi is immense, and it’s interesting to spend time exploring both. Here’s a list of the top Tourist attractions in Delhi. The great thing is that many of them are free! (like hop on hop off bus). Or, take one or more of these popular Delhi tours.

Here are the 5 main tourist attractions in Delhi:

Red Fort

Most famous monument and the tourist attraction in Delhi, the Red Fort, stands not only as a powerful reminder of the Mughal era India but also a symbol of India’s struggle for freedom.

It was built by fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan when he decided to shift his capital from Agra in 1638.

To take your imagination back to the ancient era, a one hour sound and light show of the fort’s history is held each evening.

Location: Opposite Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi.

Entry Cost: Foreigners, 500 rupees. Indians, 30 rupees. Free for children under 15 years.

Opening Hours: Sunrise until sunset. Closed Mondays.

Jama Masjid

Jama Masjid is another marvelous treasure of the Old City, and it’s one of the largest mosque in India. Its courtyard can hold an incredible 25,000 devotees.

A strenuous climb to the top of its southern tower will reward you with a stunning view (albeit obscured by metal security grills) across the rooftops of Delhi.

Be sure to dress appropriately when visiting the mosque or you won’t be allowed in. This means covering your head, legs and shoulders. Attire is available there.

Location: Opposite Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi. Near the Red Fort.

Chandni Chowk

Chandni Chowk, the main street of old Delhi, is a shocking contrast to the wide, orderly streets of New Delhi. Cars, cycle rickshaws, hand-pulled carts, pedestrians, and animals all compete for space.It’s chaotic, crumbling and congested, but completely captivating as well.

Being one of the oldest and busiest markets in India, its narrow winding lanes are full of inexpensive jewelry, fabrics, and electronics. For the more adventurous, Chandni Chowk is an excellent place to sample some of Delhi street food. The renowned Karim Hotel, a Delhi dining institution, is also located there.

Location: Old Delhi, near the Red Fort and Jama Masjid.

Swaminarayan Akshardham

The temple is dedicated to showcasing Indian culture. As well as the astonishing architecture of the pink stone and white marble shrine, the complex includes sprawling garden, sculptures, and boat ride.

Allow plenty of time to explore it thoroughly — at least half a day. Do note that cell phones and cameras are not permitted inside.

Location: National Highway 24, near Noida Mor, New Delhi.

Entry Cost: Free. Tickets are required to view the exhibitions.

Opening Hours: 9.30 a.m. until 6.30 p.m. (last entry). Closed Mondays.

Humayun’s Tomb

If you think Humayun’s Tomb looks a bit like the Taj Mahal in Agra, that’s because it was the inspiration for the Taj Mahal’s creation.

The tomb is part of a greater complex that’s set among beautiful gardens.

Location: Nizamuddin East, New Delhi. Near the Nizamuddin train station, off Mathura Road.

Entry Cost: Foreigners, 500 rupees. Indians, 30 rupees. Free for children under 15 years.
