Begin your Delhi adventure with a trip to the stunning Qutub Minar, a towering UNESCO World Heritage Site made of red sandstone and marble. The tower has five levels, each with an intricately carved balcony, and stands at 73 meters tall. Don’t forget your camera as you wander through the surrounding ruins of the ancient city of Lal Kot.
Catch a glimpse of the Mughal Era with a visit to the exquisite Humayun's Tomb, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its unique architecture and stunning gardens. Built in the 16th century, the tomb was commissioned by Bi Begum, the wife of Emperor Humayun, and made of red sandstone and decorated with inlaid white marble.
If you have extra time, make your way to the Red Fort, an impressive fortress dating back to the Mughal era. For a more modern experience, consider visiting the India Gate, a war memorial reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, or the Lotus Temple, a unique flower-shaped temple open to people of all religions. If you have less time in the city, stick to one historic monument on each day, such as Red Fort or Jama Masjid. Remember to book your tickets in advance, and try to avoid traveling during peak hours.
