Monuments everywhere
by Rupanworld
While someone is visiting New Delhi, he/she should keep an eye around as Delhi is full of monuments from its glorious past. One comes across monuments on way to other monuments, some just lying beside the roads, unvisited, unknown. If you are curious, you might go in and see. Many of my tips have resulted from things that I just passed on my way and did not plan to visit and only later I came to know as I searched for those images on internet. This is very interesting. Here are pictures of some such monuments that I am still to know names of but which I crossed while on my way to someplace else. Amazing!!!
Raj Ghat
by Bjorgvin
Visit the Raj Ghat. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), byname Mahatma (“Great-Souled”), the father of the nation, was assassinated on January 30th 1948 soon after India attained its freedom. On the spot where he was cremated on the banks of the river Yamuna is the Raj Ghat, a simple square platform of black marble and eternal flame, surrounded by a garden. Gandhi´s last words are inscribed on this platform. The Gandhi Memorial Museum is just across the road. It houses many belongings of Gandhi and photographs from his life.

Is one of my favorite places for shopping of Delhi, I went there 3 times and if I had been more days I would have gone more days ... everything is so good and of good prices, not as cheap as other markets but is just because the quality is higher. I bought paper figures, scarves, miniatures draws ... everything beautiful The money you take the money you will spend, specially if you are woman, you will find here textiles of wonderful work
Do it by taxi
by call_me_rhia
In Delhi there are all sorts of transportation available, except the metro - which is being under construction. Choices are varied: buses, auto-rickshaws and bycycle-rickshaws (especially in Old Delhi). However I learned my lesson well in Thailand, after a tuk-tuk crash, and - having no time to figure out the bus system and routes - I opted for a taxi: comfortable, quite... and safe from the city's pollution. They are very cheap too: about 500 rupees (10 euros) for four hours
