Do
- Take the Footloose in Old Delhi half day walking tour around Old Delhi.
Take a walk at Connaught Place, the heart of New Delhi. Perhaps the most well planned market in India, it is an experience unmatched.
The layout of the market is circular, with an inner circus and an outer circus. It is divided into blocks. The pavement is a pleasure to walk on, and the bookshops selling the latest books for good prices are a unique experience. There is a Metro Station "Rajiv Chowk", a Central Park and an underground market selling inexpensive imported and (possibly) smuggled goods "Palika Bazaar". It is surrounded by tall office buildings on nearly all sides. The pigeons, which are fed with grains in the morning, are also a unique sight. Quite simply the best place to hang out!
- Do a heritage walk in Chandni Chowk. Start at the beginning of the road near Red Fort and meander through Lala Lajpat Rai market where there are rows of camera re
pair shops. Then on to Gurdwara Sisganj, past the fountain and the old movie halls, finally, ending at the Fatehpuri mosque. Take detours into Nai Sarak and Chawri bazaar, or stop by at the Parathewali Gali, the jalebiwallah at Dariba Kalan, Annapurna (on the crossroads), or Ghantewallah. Might be a bit heavy on the senses, but a walk you will not forget.
- Visit the International trade fair exhibition centre at Pragati Maidan.
