hours and you think you don’t have enough time to have a good time in Delhi?
Nah. There is a way to make your 24 hours stay in Delhi just perfect.
Follow the 10 things to do in Delhi in 24
hours and having an amazing day.
1.
Begin Your Day With A Morning Walk at Lodhi Gardens
Morning walk at Lodhi Gardens is heavenly.
You can walk, jog, do yoga or play and still go un-noticed. You will see a lot
of people enjoying their walk in the morning here. Lodhi garden has a perfect
mix of ancient and modern Delhi. Plus this place is really clean and maintained
very well.
2.
Breakfast at Jama Masjid
Forget about having breakfast at your hotel
and head to Jama Masjid. Get the true Delhi breakfast experience here. The best
time to go is in the mornings for breakfast but lunch is also fine. This place
may be a little crowded but that’s just fine. Nihari breakfast in places like
Karims and Al jawahar which is located just near Jama Masjid is really
enjoyable and if you’re a foodie, then it’s just amazing for you.
3.
Take a Visit to the Historical Red Monument of Delhi – The Red Fort
Red Fort is really beautiful with a museum
inside. Entry fee inside Red Fort with the museum costs just about Rs. 15. The
walls of Red Fort have beautiful sculptures and paintings depicting the Mughal
Era in Delhi. You could even see the Diwan-e-Aam and Diwan-e-Khas, where the
great Mughal emperor used to sit. Located in a very crowded part of Delhi, this
historical monument stands still like it was just yesterday when the Mughals
used to rule India. Anyone visiting Delhi should not miss visiting the Red
Fort.

An Afternoon Checking Out the Amazing Works at the National Gallery of Modern
Art

this gallery has amazing and beautiful pieces of art whether be it portraits,
paintings in canvas and even piece of works by artists like Raja Ravi Varma and
MF Hussain. Entry to the National Gallery of Modern Art s just Rs. 10 for
Indian nationals so this is a place not to be missed.
5.
Indulge Yourself With the Local Food at Chandni Chowk
This is perhaps my favorite place to eat in
Delhi. Walk around the gullies of Chandni Chowk and enjoy the true taste of
North India. Whether it be the wide varieties of Paratha dhabas or the whole
gullies of Punjab lassis, there are places in Chandni Chowk where you can
indulge yourself heavily with the mouthwatering delicious Delhi food.
6.
Ride a Rickshaw to Connaught Place
Connaught Place is the Heart of Delhi and
without a visit here, Delhi visit would be incomplete. It is a perfect place
for shopping. You will find a lot of places here where you can shop for
handicrafts and clothes and also get to spend some great time in the lovely
parks here with friends. The circular architecture here is also amazing. A
short ride to Palika bazar for shopping or Majnu ka Tilla for some great Tibetan
food would be an added bonus.
7.
You Gotta Take a Selfie at India Gate
Not only is this place a
great monument in Delhi but also a very popular destination for great photo
session with your friends. Visit India Gate in the evenings and get to see
India Gate being showered with beautiful colored lights. And yes, don’t forget
to take a selfie at India Gate.
8.
Shop till you drop at Dilli Haat
Dilli Haat is probably one of the best
destination to shop in Delhi. You could find a lot of stalls selling handicraft
and art from almost every part of India. Not to get shopping for rosewood, footwear,
beads, jewelry, silk, fabrics and gems.
9. Hang Out at the Various Cafes at Hauz Khas in
the Evenings
Hauz Khas is one of the most happening
place in Delhi for a traveler. There are various cafes where you can hang out
and enjoy their great food, snacks and drinks. There are a lot of travel cafes
