Exploring Old Delhi in 2 Days

  1. Day 1: Red Fort
    10 minutes (3.5 km) from New Delhi Railway Station

    Begin your Old Delhi tour at the iconic Red Fort, the 17th-century fortification that was once the residence of Mughal emperors. In the morning, take a guided tour of the fort and learn about its rich history. In the afternoon, visit the bustling Chawri Bazaar, famous for its street food and beautiful wedding invitations. In the evening, head to the tranquil Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, for a peaceful sunset.

  2. Day 2: Chandni Chowk
    5 minutes (1.4 km) from Jama Masjid

    Start your day with a delicious breakfast at Paranthe Wali Gali, known for its mouth-watering paranthas. After breakfast, stroll through the colorful and chaotic streets of Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi. In the afternoon, visit the stunning Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib and learn about the history of Sikhism. End your day at the serene Raj Ghat, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.

Recommendations

If you have extra time, check out the Spice Market, also known as Khari Baoli, which is Asia's largest wholesale spice market, or explore the ancient stepwell called Agrasen ki Baoli. For a unique experience, take a rickshaw tour of Old Delhi's narrow lanes or take a side trip to the nearby Akshardham Temple. Try to avoid visiting during summer months as Delhi's heat can be tough to handle. Stay hydrated and carry sunscreen and a hat when you are out and about.
