Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every New Delhi visitor asks before booking.
The best months
October to March is the best time to visit, with cool, comfortable days ideal for sightseeing and day trips to Agra and Jaipur.
Autumn (Oct–Nov)
Pleasant weather after the monsoon and the festive season of Diwali make this a lovely, lively time to visit.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Cool, sunny days and chilly mornings; the peak tourist season, though dense morning fog can occasionally delay trains and flights.
Spring (Mar)
Warm and comfortable before the heat builds — a good shoulder-season window.
Summer (Apr–Jun)
Very hot, often above 40°C. Sightsee early, keep midday for indoor sights, and stay hydrated.
Monsoon (Jul–Sep)
Humid with heavy rain showers and fewer crowds; greenery returns, but plan around downpours.
One day
Enough for the headline sights of Old and New Delhi on a guided city tour with transport.
Two days
Add a Taj Mahal day trip to Agra by fast train or car.
Three to four days
Explore Delhi at a relaxed pace with a food tour, then add Agra and the start of Rajasthan.
Five to six days
The full Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with time at each.
A week or more
Add Amritsar’s Golden Temple or a Ranthambore tiger safari to the Golden Triangle.
Travelling with kids
Keep the pace gentle and the days shorter, mixing rickshaw rides and open spaces with the big sights.
Delhi Metro
The clean, modern and inexpensive Metro is the fastest way across the city, avoiding the notorious traffic; buy a token or a tourist card.
App cabs & autos
Ola and Uber are cheap and reliable for door-to-door trips; for auto-rickshaws, use the app or agree the fare first.
Tours with transport
City tours and day trips include air-conditioned transport with a driver — the easiest way to cover the spread-out sights and reach Agra.
Old Delhi on foot & rickshaw
The lanes of Chandni Chowk are best explored on foot or by cycle-rickshaw, ideally with a guide.
Trains to Agra & Jaipur
Fast trains like the Gatimaan Express reach Agra in under two hours; book in advance for the best classes.
From the airport
Indira Gandhi Airport links to the centre by the Airport Express Metro or a pre-paid or app taxi.
Food & water
Drink bottled or filtered water, and eat freshly cooked, hot food — a guided street-food tour points you to the safest, busiest stalls.
Beat the scams
Book tours and cabs through apps or trusted operators, ignore unsolicited “tourist office” touts, and confirm your hotel directly.
Dress respectfully
Cover shoulders and knees at temples and mosques, and remove shoes where required; carry a scarf for covering up.
Heat & pollution
In summer carry water and sun protection; in winter mornings, air quality can dip — a mask helps sensitive travellers.
Cash & cards
Cards and UPI are widely accepted, but carry some rupees for rickshaws, tips and small stalls.
Closing days
The Taj Mahal closes on Fridays and some monuments and the Lotus Temple close on Mondays — plan your days accordingly.
Taj Mahal day trips
Popular Agra trips and the fast Gatimaan Express train sell out in peak season — book ahead.
Golden Triangle tours
Multi-day Delhi–Agra–Jaipur tours with hotels need booking in advance, especially over winter.
Ranthambore safaris
Tiger-safari jeep and canter permits are limited and sell out well ahead — reserve early.
Amritsar trips
Flights and overnight trains to Amritsar fill up; book transport and tours ahead.
Food tours
Small-group street-food tours have limited places and are very popular.
Festivals
Around Diwali and Holi, demand and prices spike — book accommodation and tours early.
City & Old Delhi tours
Around ₹1,500–4,000 (about €17–45) for a guided Old Delhi or full-city tour with transport.
Taj Mahal day trips
About ₹4,000–9,000 (about €45–100) by car, more by the fast Gatimaan Express with a guide and entries.
Golden Triangle
Roughly ₹18,000–40,000 (about €200–450) for a multi-day tour with hotels, transport and a guide.
Food tours
Around ₹1,500–3,500 (about €17–40) for a guided street-food tour with plenty of tastings.
Ranthambore safari
About ₹12,000–25,000 (about €135–280) for a multi-day trip with safaris and a lodge stay.
How to save
Join group tours, use the Metro and app cabs, and travel in shoulder season for the best rates.
