Experience Old Delhi, markets and cuisine

Old Delhi and Chandni Chowk represent local life, markets, and Mughal and Indian history. The experience there includes narrow historic lanes, spice shops and street food. Anyone wishing to get to know Delhi primarily through its history, markets and food should consider the planned cultural and food experiences together with the specific location of the accommodation when searching.

Choose the location according to your travel plan

For your travel plan, you can distinguish between a focus on Old Delhi with history, markets and food and a broader Delhi experience of city life, culture and sights. This is a question of the desired daily itinerary, not a ranking of the city's areas. Therefore, choose your accommodation according to the focus of your trip and not just the name Delhi.

For your further search, you can explore the pages on New Delhi and North West Delhi directly. Dera Māndi is also available as a separate page for orientation.

Include the metro and arrival in your accommodation search

When looking for accommodation in the sprawling metropolis of Delhi, the specific connection to the urban transport network is a useful point of comparison. If arriving by plane, Indira Gandhi International Airport is the stated Delhi/New Delhi connection.

Holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel?

For a Delhi trip spread across several districts, the transport connection stated in the listing may be more important than a mere regional designation. This keeps your choice of accommodation oriented towards your travel plan without making blanket judgments about individual types of accommodation.
