Most international flights land here first, and the city hits you immediately \u2014 the traffic, the noise, the Mughal monuments rising above the chaos, the smell of frying samosas from a stall that&#8217;s been there since your grandparents were born. It&#8217;s overwhelming and exhilarating in equal measure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The city operates on two timelines simultaneously. Old Delhi \u2014 the Mughal capital, with its 17th-century mosques, narrow lanes, and food markets that haven&#8217;t fundamentally changed in centuries. And New Delhi \u2014 the British-designed capital with its wide boulevards, government buildings, modernist architecture, and a rapidly growing cafe and restaurant scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Most tourists pass through Delhi quickly on their way to the Taj Mahal or Rajasthan. That&#8217;s a mistake. Delhi deserves at least 2\u20133 days, and its street food alone is worth the trip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold wp-block-heading\">Delhi at a Glance<\/h2>\n<div class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\">\n<table class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\">\n<thead class=\"text-left\">\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"><strong>Info<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Best time to visit<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">October \u2013 March (cool, festival season, clear skies)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Avoid<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">May \u2013 June (extreme heat, 42\u201347\u00b0C) and late July\u2013Aug (humid monsoon)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Airport<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Indira Gandhi International (DEL) \u2014 India&#8217;s busiest.

The food in Old Delhi alone justifies the trip. For the full breakdown, see our <strong>Where to Eat in Delhi guide<\/strong>. Quick highlights:<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Street food essentials:<\/strong> Paranthe Wali Gali (parantha alley in Chandni Chowk, \u20b960\u2013100 per plate), Karim&#8217;s near Jama Masjid (Mughlai kebabs and curries since 1913, \u20b9200\u2013400), Natraj Dahi Bhalle Wala (chaat, \u20b960\u201380), and Roshan Di Kulfi (\u20b940\u201370).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Modern restaurants:<\/strong> Indian Accent at The Lodhi (India&#8217;s most celebrated fine dining, \u20b95,000\u20138,000 per person), Bukhara at ITC Maurya (legendary dal and tandoor, \u20b94,000\u20136,000), SodaBottleOpenerWala for Parsi comfort food (\u20b9600\u20131,000), and Ama Caf\u00e9 at Majnu Ka Tilla for Tibetan food (\u20b9300\u2013500).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Getting Around Delhi<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Delhi Metro<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Excellent, clean, cheap, and air-conditioned. Covers all major tourist areas. Fares: \u20b920\u201360 per journey. Buy a Tourist Card (\u20b9250 for 3 days unlimited) if you&#8217;ll use it heavily. UPI accepted for recharging metro cards via the app.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Uber &amp; Ola<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Reliable throughout Delhi. Best for door-to-door, especially at night. UPI accepted. An airport to city centre ride costs \u20b9300\u2013500.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Auto-Rickshaws<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Classic Delhi experience. Insist on the meter or use Ola Auto (app-based, transparent pricing). Most auto drivers accept UPI. A cross-city ride costs \u20b950\u2013150.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Cycle-Rickshaws<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Best for Old Delhi&#8217;s narrow lanes where cars can&#8217;t go. Agree on price before getting in (\u20b930\u201380 for a 15-minute ride). Cash only for most.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Money &amp; Payments in Delhi<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Delhi is one of the most digitally advanced cities in India for payments. The metro, monument ticket counters, Chandni Chowk street vendors, Uber, Khan Market shops \u2014 UPI works everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Set up Mony before you fly. Load \u20b915,000\u201320,000 (Delhi is slightly more expensive than other Indian cities). Carry \u20b92,000\u20133,000 cash for tips, cycle-rickshaws, and the occasional vendor without a QR code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><em>Full payment guide:<\/em> <strong>How to Pay in India as a Tourist<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Practical Tips<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Delhi&#8217;s air pollution is worst in November\u2013January. If you have respiratory issues, bring an N95 mask. The rest of the year is manageable for most visitors.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Scams<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The classic Delhi scams are &#8220;your hotel is closed&#8221; (from taxi drivers), &#8220;this monument is closed today&#8221; (from touts wanting commission), and overpriced autorickshaws. Use the metro and Uber to avoid most of them. See our <strong>Is India Safe for Tourists?<\/strong> guide.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Get a SIM at the airport (Airtel or Jio, \u20b9200\u2013500). Free WiFi is available at metro stations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Pay Like a Local in Delhi<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">From the \u20b960 parantha in Chandni Chowk to the \u20b96,000 dinner at Bukhara, Delhi runs on UPI. With Mony, your phone is your wallet \u2014 at the street stall, the metro, the monument, and the market. Set up before you fly and you&#8217;ll pay for your airport taxi within minutes of landing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Explore More Delhi

whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Delhi is India&#8217;s entry point. Most international flights land here first, and the city hits you immediately \u2014 the traffic, the noise, the Mughal monuments rising above the chaos, the smell of frying samosas from a stall that&#8217;s been there since your grandparents were born. It&#8217;s overwhelming and exhilarating in equal measure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The city operates on two timelines simultaneously. Old Delhi \u2014 the Mughal capital, with its 17th-century mosques, narrow lanes, and food markets that haven&#8217;t fundamentally changed in centuries. And New Delhi \u2014 the British-designed capital with its wide boulevards, government buildings, modernist architecture, and a rapidly growing cafe and restaurant scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Most tourists pass through Delhi quickly on their way to the Taj Mahal or Rajasthan. That&#8217;s a mistake. Delhi deserves at least 2\u20133 days, and its street food alone is worth the trip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold wp-block-heading\">Delhi at a Glance<\/h2>\n<div class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\">\n<table class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\">\n<thead class=\"text-left\">\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"><strong>Info<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Best time to visit<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">October \u2013 March (cool, festival season, clear skies)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Avoid<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">May \u2013 June (extreme heat, 42\u201347\u00b0C) and late July\u2013Aug (humid monsoon)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Airport<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\">Indira Gandhi International (DEL) \u2014 India&#8217;s busiest.

The food in Old Delhi alone justifies the trip. For the full breakdown, see our <strong>Where to Eat in Delhi guide<\/strong>. Quick highlights:<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Street food essentials:<\/strong> Paranthe Wali Gali (parantha alley in Chandni Chowk, \u20b960\u2013100 per plate), Karim&#8217;s near Jama Masjid (Mughlai kebabs and curries since 1913, \u20b9200\u2013400), Natraj Dahi Bhalle Wala (chaat, \u20b960\u201380), and Roshan Di Kulfi (\u20b940\u201370).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Modern restaurants:<\/strong> Indian Accent at The Lodhi (India&#8217;s most celebrated fine dining, \u20b95,000\u20138,000 per person), Bukhara at ITC Maurya (legendary dal and tandoor, \u20b94,000\u20136,000), SodaBottleOpenerWala for Parsi comfort food (\u20b9600\u20131,000), and Ama Caf\u00e9 at Majnu Ka Tilla for Tibetan food (\u20b9300\u2013500).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Getting Around Delhi<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Delhi Metro<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Excellent, clean, cheap, and air-conditioned. Covers all major tourist areas. Fares: \u20b920\u201360 per journey. Buy a Tourist Card (\u20b9250 for 3 days unlimited) if you&#8217;ll use it heavily. UPI accepted for recharging metro cards via the app.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Uber &amp; Ola<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Reliable throughout Delhi. Best for door-to-door, especially at night. UPI accepted. An airport to city centre ride costs \u20b9300\u2013500.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Auto-Rickshaws<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Classic Delhi experience. Insist on the meter or use Ola Auto (app-based, transparent pricing). Most auto drivers accept UPI. A cross-city ride costs \u20b950\u2013150.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Cycle-Rickshaws<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Best for Old Delhi&#8217;s narrow lanes where cars can&#8217;t go. Agree on price before getting in (\u20b930\u201380 for a 15-minute ride). Cash only for most.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Money &amp; Payments in Delhi<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Delhi is one of the most digitally advanced cities in India for payments. The metro, monument ticket counters, Chandni Chowk street vendors, Uber, Khan Market shops \u2014 UPI works everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Set up Mony before you fly. Load \u20b915,000\u201320,000 (Delhi is slightly more expensive than other Indian cities). Carry \u20b92,000\u20133,000 cash for tips, cycle-rickshaws, and the occasional vendor without a QR code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><em>Full payment guide:<\/em> <strong>How to Pay in India as a Tourist<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Practical Tips<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Delhi&#8217;s air pollution is worst in November\u2013January. If you have respiratory issues, bring an N95 mask. The rest of the year is manageable for most visitors.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Scams<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The classic Delhi scams are &#8220;your hotel is closed&#8221; (from taxi drivers), &#8220;this monument is closed today&#8221; (from touts wanting commission), and overpriced autorickshaws. Use the metro and Uber to avoid most of them. See our <strong>Is India Safe for Tourists?<\/strong> guide.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Get a SIM at the airport (Airtel or Jio, \u20b9200\u2013500). Free WiFi is available at metro stations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Pay Like a Local in Delhi<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">From the \u20b960 parantha in Chandni Chowk to the \u20b96,000 dinner at Bukhara, Delhi runs on UPI. With Mony, your phone is your wallet \u2014 at the street stall, the metro, the monument, and the market. Set up before you fly and you&#8217;ll pay for your airport taxi within minutes of landing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Explore More Delhi Content<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/where-to-eat-in-delhi\/\">Where to Eat in Delhi: Street Food, Fine Dining &amp; Everything Between (with Prices)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/2-day-delhi-itinerary\/\">2-Day Delhi Itinerary: Old City to New City (with Costs)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/the-delhi-you-dont-find-in-guidebooks\/\">The Delhi You Don&#8217;t Find in Guidebooks<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/delhi-unesco-sites-you-actually-want-to-visit\/\">UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/how-to-pay-in-india-as-a-tourist\/\">How to Pay in India as a Tourist<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/what-is-upi\/\">What Is UPI?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f0ed5d3 elementor-author-box--layout-image-left elementor-author-box--align-left elementor-author-box--image-valign-middle elementor-author-box--avatar-yes elementor-author-box--name-yes elementor-author-box--biography-yes elementor-author-box--link-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"1f0ed5d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bb5621c66c8b76547327be77a201e7d5a0c945192f0a567624bee19b08bbe915?s=200&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g\" alt=\"Picture of Nikhil Bansal\" loading=\"lazy\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNikhil Bansal\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBudget &amp; Solo Travel Editor at Mony, with years of experience exploring India on a backpacker\u2019s budget.\r\nFrom hostel stays to overnight trains, specializes in finding the best travel deals without compromising on the experience.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-368bd5a1 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-container-heights--disabled e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"368bd5a1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-237a6750 elementor-cta--skin-cover elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-14726 elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"237a6750\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/havemony.com\/\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg elementor-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/havemony.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/woman-standing-in-front-of-taj-mahal-1024x410.png);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"woman standing in front of taj mahal\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-overlay\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPay like a local\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t100M+ merchants accept Mony\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__button-wrapper elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-cta__button elementor-button elementor-size-\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGet Started\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents Delhi is India&#8217;s entry point.
