The Red Fort This fort is not the most beautiful one of India but in spite of that it is really impressive

Qutab Minar: Is the highest stone tower in India - and it's only one of the sights to be seen in the Qutab Minar complex. This "pillar" is 72.5 metres in height, and 14.32 metres in diameter at the base, and 2.75 metres at the top. It's made entirely of white marble and red sandstone - and laid out in 5 storeys. The marvel of this pillar, however, it's not its size but the fine carvings that cover it: they are all verses from the Quran. it is believed that the first city of Delhi was built near here

Raj Ghat: Is a green peaceful place to visit in Delhi. It's Mahatma Ghandi's final resting place and it's inside a quiet well-looked after little park.

Humayun's Tomb: Delhi was the center of the Mughal empire, and structures from this monument-loving society are scattered all over the city. One of the most impressive is Humayun's Tomb, a massive mausoleum complex dedicated to the second Mughal emperor

Lodi Gardens: This is one place in Delhi where, once you're in the middle of it, you don't feel like you're in Delhi...which is quite nice (when it all just seems like it's getting too much!)


Taj Mahal (out of Delhi): One of the eight wonders of the world, The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Built entirely of white marble, its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset.

Jantar Mantar: Is quite a bizarre place. There are a group of strange-looking constructions in this little park - and at first glance one would think of some sort of modern architecture or sculpture.
