Planning a babymoon in Delhi
Mughal monuments, food lanes, a capital that never narrates itself quietly. For two, decide between a hotel with service and a private rental with space — Expedia lists both in Delhi, so you can weigh price, location and reviews in one search.
When the weather turns in Delhi
Delhi's problem is less steady rain than the July or August cloudburst that drowns underpasses within minutes. The National Museum works, and the Humayun's Tomb site museum opened in 2024 is largely sunken underground and dry throughout. Select Citywalk in Saket fills an indoor afternoon. The Metro keeps running when roads do not, and Chandni Chowk's lanes flood first, so postpone them.
What to eat in Delhi
Old Delhi settles arguments: Karim's behind Jama Masjid for mutton burra and nihari, Paranthe Wali Gali for stuffed fried parathas, Natraj on Chandni Chowk for dahi bhalla, Kuremal for kulfi frozen inside whole fruit. South Delhi runs the other register, with butter chicken at Moti Mahal Daryaganj, chaat at Bengali Market, and momos traceable to the Tibetan colony at Majnu ka Tila.
What first-timers get wrong in Delhi
Prepaid taxi counters at the airport and railway stations exist for a reason: touts outside will tell you your hotel has burned down or closed, then offer an alternative. It is a scam with a script. Buy a Delhi Metro tourist card, INR 200 for one day or INR 500 for three. Monument ticket counters shut an hour before the site itself does.
What's actually worth your time in Delhi
Humayun's Tomb is the one to prioritise: it prototyped the Taj, opens six to six daily, costs foreigners INR 600, and carries a fraction of the Red Fort's crowds. The Red Fort at INR 550, closed Mondays, is more history than spectacle now that most pavilions stand stripped. Qutub Minar's INR 550 buys a startling twelfth-century minaret and the uncorroded iron pillar beside it.
Delhi's museums, and which one to pick
The National Museum on Janpath shuts Mondays and gazetted holidays and charges foreigners INR 650; its Harappan rooms hold the Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro and a relic casket attributed to the Buddha. For twentieth-century painting, the National Gallery of Modern Art at Jaipur House has the Amrita Sher-Gil holdings. The Crafts Museum beside Purana Qila is quieter, cheaper and more tactile.
