Delhi, the capital of India, is a city that combines history with modernity in its own unique way. As you travel through the wide roads and flyovers of Delhi, you'll come across Mughal monuments, forts and tombs in the heart of the city.
Known for its historic buildings such as the President's mansion, Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Parliament House and the landmark India Gate, Delhi is changing rapidly with a modern metro railway service and curving flyovers connecting different parts of this rapidly expanding city.
With shopping malls, multiplexes and amusement parks springing up around Delhi, the city has acquired a younger and more dynamic feel. At the same time Delhi retains its age-old charm with gracious parks and gardens, an active cultural life and annual celebrations such as the Republic Day Parade, giving Delhi its unique place as the grand capital of India.
