New Delhi is India’s capital city. Home to over 300,000 people, this city boasts a large number of popular attractions. These include the stunning 16th century Humayun’s Tomb, the Qutab Minar stone tower, the National Rail Museum and the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory. The climate here is generally hot and sunny, with rains coming during monsoon season. In terms of shopping, check out some of the city’s numerous bazaars and markets. Wander around the bustling Connaught Place, as well as bazaars such as Pahargan Market, Janpath and the Central Market in Lajpat Nagar. Along with shops, Connaught Place is also full of great places to eat. Try some traditional Indian cuisine, including chaat which is the favourite local snack option. International cuisine is also well-represented. A number of top-notch bars and hookah lounges can be found throughout the city.
