India’s seat of power saw many rulers, like the Lodis, Mughals and the British, all of whom left their legacies in the form of art and architecture throughout the capital. Colourful bazaars and historic landmarks sit side by side with quiet green spaces and charming neighbourhoods in New Delhi.

One of New Delhi’s most prominent landmarks and a true architectural marvel, the Qutub Minar was erected by sultan Qutb-ud-din in 1193.

Lodi Gardens
The hauntingly beautiful ruins of the tombs of the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties set the Lodi Gardens apart from the other green spaces in the capital. Don’t miss the tombs of Mohhamed Shah and Sikander Lodi, both of which are classic examples of the architecture of that time.
