Delhi is India's capital city. Old Delhi was the capital of Muslim India between the 17th and 19th centuries and there are many mosques, forts and monuments in this area that relate to India's Muslim history. New Delhi was purpose-built by the British as a colonial capital inaugurated in 1931. It is an open city and contains many embassies and government buildings.

Today tour Delhi a city containing both the spacious, planned New Delhi of late colonial Britain and Old Delhi its bustling and crowded medieval counterpart. Start the morning with a visit to Old Delhi. Built in the first half of the 17th Century by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan this old city is still a dense network of overcrowded homes, markets and endless alleyways dominated by the enormous Red Fort. Make your way to Chandni Chowk and enjoy this bustling thoroughfare of shops (most of which are closed on Sundays), craftsmen's workshops, mosques and temples. On the way visit Jama Masjid the largest mosque in India, commissioned by Shah Jehan and completed in 1656. Please remember to take care of your personal possessions when walking through these busy streets and may we suggest that you leave your valuables in your hotel safe. From Chandni Chowk continue to the Red Fort (closed on a Monday) with its imposing appearance and towering entrance.
