Delhi Holidays
Delhi is a city of two halves. Wander through Old Delhi, once known as Shahjahanabad – the walled city built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 – and you’ll discover a maze of twisting back-alleys, glittering ancient bazaars, and street markets that crowd every square inch of pavement.
A riot of colours, sounds and aromas, Old Delhi is guaranteed to send your senses into overdrive. Inhale the scent of fresh paratha along Paranthe Wali Gali and you’ll see what we mean.
Old Delhi also serves up two of the city’s star attractions: the dusky sandstone Lal Qila (also known as the Red Fort), and the Jama Masjid mosque, a sanctuary of calm amid the hustle and bustle that surrounds it.
Step foot in New Delhi and prepare for a complete change of scenery. India’s capital is an elegant mix of colonial-era government buildings, wide avenues, and neatly-manicured lawns. Settle in for high tea at the Imperial Hotel for the ultimate luxury New Delhi experience.

“The best street food in India is found in Delhi. My favourite is chole bhature – chickpeas and deep fried bread. The choice is amazing, you can’t walk for five minutes without being enticed by the smell of the spices in the air.”
