An ancient city, a modern metropolis - India's spellbinding capital is a place like no other. A place where blush-coloured ruins jostle for space with high-rise towers, bustling bazaars sprawl one street down from neon-lit shopping malls, and bullock carts tread the same timeworn paths as the latest luxury cars.
Turn one way and Mughal-built monuments proclaim a majestic and imperial past, turn the other and a plethora of lively bars point to the city's pulsating present. An amalgam of eight cities, Delhi is jam-packed with sights of historical, cultural and religious importance. Combine these with world-class shopping, a rich and tasty cuisine, and the best in dance, music and theatre, and you'll soon see this is a city worth stopping in.
