The magnificent 17th-century Mughal fortress of red sandstone served as the seat of Mughal power for two centuries and now hosts India's Independence Day celebrations every year.

One of Asia's oldest and busiest markets, this labyrinthine bazaar founded by Shah Jahan specialises in spices, silver, textiles, and street food delicacies like paratha and jalebi.

This UNESCO-listed 16th-century Mughal mausoleum is widely considered the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal, set within formal charbagh gardens of extraordinary beauty.

The world's tallest brick minaret, built in 1193, rises 73 metres above the Mehrauli Archaeological Park alongside mosques, tombs, and the enigmatic rust-free Iron Pillar.

India's largest mosque, commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1650, can accommodate 25,000 worshippers in its vast courtyard and offers sweeping rooftop views over Old Delhi.

The 42-metre war memorial arch stands at the ceremonial centre of New Delhi, surrounded by lawns where families gather at dusk for ice cream and impromptu cricket matches.

The striking Bahá'í House of Worship, shaped like an unfolding lotus blossom, welcomes people of all faiths into a serene marble sanctuary surrounded by reflecting pools.

Scattered among 90 acres of landscaped parkland are Sayyid and Lodi dynasty tombs from the 15th and 16th centuries, making for an atmospheric morning jog through history.

This modern sandstone and marble mandir complex opened in 2005 is a dazzling display of traditional Hindu craftsmanship, with intricate carvings, boat rides, and evening water shows.

A medieval reservoir flanked by a 14th-century madrasa and deer park now sits alongside hip cafes, boutiques, and galleries in one of Delhi's most eclectic neighbourhoods.
