Travelers to India often have to make a stopover in the capital, but Delhi is sometimes overlooked and it It's a shame.
It's not only vibrant and sometimes wacky (where is there a "Toilet Museum"?), it's also the one of the most beautifully designed cities in the world. Although getting around can be slow, that's part of its charm. For most people, a tuk-tuk is just fine: it only costs around £3 to get across New Delhi, and the endearing drivers tend to call you "Uncle" or "Auntie."
So make sure to set aside at least a day or two to explore the city. Here are eight highlights not to be missed.
Palaces, ministries and monuments
Much of New Delhi is built of red sandstone and was designed by Edward Lutyens ( who designed the London Cenotaph). His greatest work is the Presidential Palace, or Rashtrapati Bhavan, with its 340 rooms and its park-sized garden. For a few euros you can see everything by tuk-tuk. The museum explains the history of the largest democracy in the world.
