City overview
Know New Delhi before you go
Delhi's visitor experience spans New Delhi's planned avenues, Old Delhi's dense markets, Mughal monuments, major temples and large green spaces. Distances and traffic mean the capital is easier when itineraries are organized by area rather than by a long citywide attraction list. A balanced first visit should include both the formal civic landscape of New Delhi and the much older streets, markets and monuments that show how many periods of the city's history overlap.
Best time to visit
The cooler months are generally more comfortable for walking. Summer heat can be severe, and seasonal air-quality conditions should be checked close to travel dates.

Travel tips
Planning
Give New Delhi a realistic first day
Four days gives a first-time visitor room for Old Delhi, New Delhi, major Mughal monuments and a slower museum or garden day. Keep arrival day lighter than the rest of the trip so transport delays, weather and check-in do not disrupt a must-see reservation.
Culture
Respect local routines
Dress respectfully at mosques, temples and memorials, remove footwear where required and ask before photographing people.
Money
Plan payments before the day starts
Digital payments are widespread, but cash remains useful for small purchases, markets and backup. Use official or reputable ATMs and keep smaller notes.
Planning
Keep the itinerary geographically focused
Group Old Delhi and Red Fort, pair Humayun's Tomb with nearby south-central sights, and keep central New Delhi avenues and museums together. Most major monuments can be planned flexibly, but special exhibitions, popular museums and guided heritage experiences may warrant advance reservations.
Transport
Use New Delhi's transport strategically
The Delhi Metro is useful for many major corridors, while taxis and ride services fill gaps. Road traffic can add significant time, so keep each day geographically focused.
