New Delhi, the national capital of India is famous for its culture, tradition and
effervescent history. Delhi is the third largest city in India and now the most
preferred city in terms of investments, industrialization, Information Technology,
Healthcare, Real Estate, etc.
The culture of Delhi reflects the rich heritage of the past coupled with the influence
of modern lifestyle. Delhi has always been a cosmopolitan city where one would find
people from all parts of India. Overall, Delhi is a very multi-linguist and multi-cultured
society which has now opened itself to embracing every new custom and tradition.
New Delhi is the blend of old and new. The contrast between the two is very much
visible by the culture, lifestyle and tradition. Old Delhi still has the influence
of Mughals with monuments, mosques and forts all through the complicated streets.
Old bazaars and food are some of the specialties of Old Delhi. Whereas New Delhi
is completely different with lifestyle and city's architecture having the influence
of British Rule in India.
With more and more tourists coming to Delhi, the government has a special ministry
to look into the well being of visitors. Tours and travel agencies in the city provide
tourism services ranging from accommodation to guide and sight-seeing. Delhi tourism
department has set up help desk services for foreign tourists who can find all necessary
information about the city. Some of the major tourist attractions in Delhi include
Taj Mahal, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Rajghat, Jama Masjid, Qutab Minar, Red Fort, Humayun's
Tomb, Safdarjang's Tomb, Purana Quila, Jantar Mantar and Akshardham temple.
New Delhi has expanded and now encompasses residential and commercial development
to the west and south, plus the satellite towns of Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad.
