Two-Day Delhi Itinerary

  1. Day 1: Gandhi Smriti
    6 minutes (1.1 km) from National Museum

    Morning: Gandhi Smriti is a museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi's life and legacy. Visitors can see the room where he spent his last 144 days and where he was assassinated. The morning is the best time to visit when the museum opens and before it gets crowded.

    Afternoon: Visit the Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built-in 1570. You can take a guided tour of the Tomb complex or explore the complex on your own. The afternoon is best to avoid the heat.

    Evening: Head to Hauz Khas Village to explore the trendy cafes, bars, and boutiques. This place has a great vibe, especially in the evening when the crowd is a mix of locals and tourists.

  2. Day 2: Red Fort
    13 minutes (5.5 km) from India Gate

    Morning: Visit the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, built-in 1638. You can take a guided tour or explore on your own. The morning is the best time to visit when it's less crowded and before it gets too hot.

    Afternoon: Head to Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi. You can explore the narrow lanes and alleys and try different street foods. Remember to bargain when shopping!

    Evening: End your day with a visit to the Akshardham Temple, a Hindu temple complex known for its stunning architecture and light and sound show. The evening show is a must-see and a great way to end your Delhi trip.

Recommendations

If you're interested in history, you can also visit the National Museum, Qutub Minar, and the Jama Masjid. For a side trip, you can visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, which is about a 3-hour drive from Delhi. To maximize your fun, you can take a food tour of Delhi or a cycling tour of Old Delhi. It's also a good idea to hire a local guide to help you navigate the city and learn more about its history and culture.
