Delhi is divided into two parts. Old Delhi is marked by its ancient monuments whilst New Delhi exhibits the European architectural influences of British Imperialism. Just as it is physically divided, the modern and traditional sentiments alive in Delhi make it a city of two halves. Western clothes and drinking culture co-exists with the social structures and values of the past, making Delhi all the more fascinating.
For the authentic experience, try to catch a festival while in Delhi.
During February Delhi's gardens produce vivid flowers in time for the Garden Tourism Festival. This is the best time of year to visit. Between April and October the heat is extreme and can rise to 45°C with the monsoon beginning in June.
In October, you may be lucky enough to see the Qutub Festival of music and dance in the Qutub Minar complex or witness a cross section of regional diversity through the music and dancing of the Roshnara and Shalimar Bagh Festival.
