Delhi is not simply a city it is an experience that engages every one of your senses from the moment you arrive. As India's capital and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, Delhi is a sprawling, layered, endlessly fascinating destination where Mughal grandeur, colonial history, and ultramodern energy exist side by side. Here is why Delhi deserves a place at the very top of your travel list:
Old Delhi — A Journey Back in Time The ancient heart of the city, Old Delhi (or Shahjahanabad as it was originally known) is a dense, vibrant maze of narrow lanes, spice markets, street food vendors, and centuries-old mosques and havelis. The famous Chandni Chowk market, one of Asia's oldest and busiest, is an assault on the senses in the very best possible way. The Red Fort a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of India's most iconic monuments stands sentinel over the old city and is an absolute must-visit.
The Qutub Minar Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Qutub Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world and the centrepiece of a remarkable complex of medieval Islamic architecture. Rising 73 metres from the ground, it is one of the most photographed monuments in India, and rightly so.
India Gate and Rajpath At the heart of New Delhi's ceremonial axis sits India Gate, a solemn war memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers who gave their lives in the First World War. The surrounding Kartavya Path boulevard, flanked by grand government buildings, gives visitors a powerful sense of the ambition and scale of Lutyens' Delhi, designed by the British in the early 20th century.
The Lotus Temple One of Delhi's most architecturally stunning landmarks, the Bahá'í House of Worship known as the Lotus Temple for its extraordinary flower-shaped design welcomes visitors of all faiths and backgrounds. The building is as peaceful inside as it is breathtaking from the outside.
Delhi's Food Scene Few cities on earth can match Delhi when it comes to food. From the legendary butter chicken said to have been invented here, to the best chaat (street snacks) you will ever taste, to high-end modern Indian cuisine at restaurants that rank among Asia's finest, Delhi is a food lover's paradise. Don't leave without eating at Karim's in Old Delhi, a restaurant with more than a century of history and a reputation that speaks for itself.
Shopping in Delhi Whether it's the luxury boutiques of Khan Market, the artisan crafts of Dilli Haat, the textiles and jewellery of Connaught Place, or the bargain-hunting experience of Lajpat Nagar, Delhi is an extraordinary city for shopping. Bring extra space in that 35kg allowance you will almost certainly need it.

If this is your first visit to Delhi, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some key tips to help you hit the ground running:
Visa Requirements British nationals require a visa to travel to India. The e-Visa process is straightforward and can be completed online through the Indian government's official portal. Apply well in advance of your travel date at least four to six weeks before departure is recommended to avoid any last-minute complications.
Getting Around Delhi Delhi has an excellent and affordable Metro system that connects most major tourist attractions, neighbourhoods, and both terminals of Indira Gandhi International Airport. Pick up a Delhi Metro Smart Card on arrival and use it throughout your stay. Auto-rickshaws and app-based taxis (Ola and Uber both operate extensively in Delhi) are useful for shorter journeys or areas not well served by the Metro.
Best Areas to Stay For first-time visitors, Connaught Place, Aerocity (close to the airport), and South Delhi neighbourhoods like Hauz Khas and Defence Colony offer a good balance of convenience, safety, and access to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Old Delhi is best explored as a day trip rather than a base.
July Weather in Delhi July falls within Delhi's monsoon season, which runs roughly from late June through September. Temperatures range from approximately 27°C to 35°C, with significant rainfall, particularly in the evenings. Pack light, breathable clothing, a compact rain jacket or umbrella, and comfortable walking shoes that can handle occasional wet conditions. The monsoon brings a lush, dramatic quality to the city that many visitors find strikingly beautiful.
Health Precautions Visit your GP or a travel health clinic well before your departure to discuss recommended vaccinations and any health precautions relevant to India. Comprehensive travel insurance with medical cover is strongly advised.
Food and Water Safety Drink bottled water throughout your stay and be cautious with street food initially, allowing your system to adjust gradually. That said, Delhi's street food scene is genuinely world-class approach it sensibly and you will be rewarded with some of the most memorable eating experiences of your life.
