Plan Your Perfect Delhi Trip

The best time to visit Delhi is from October to March when the weather is pleasant with temperatures between 10-25°C. Avoid the summer months (April-June) when temperatures can exceed 45°C. The monsoon season (July-September) brings humidity and occasional rain.

For a comprehensive Delhi experience, 3-4 days is ideal. This allows you to cover Old Delhi, New Delhi monuments, and have time for shopping and local experiences. If you're short on time, the key highlights can be covered in 2 days. For a relaxed trip with a day trip to Agra, consider 5 days.

Delhi is generally safe for tourists with common sense precautions. Avoid isolated areas at night, use registered taxis or Uber/Ola, and dress modestly. The tourist areas are well-policed. Women should be cautious in crowded areas and avoid traveling alone late at night.

The best options are: 1) Delhi Metro - fast, cheap, and covers most attractions. 2) Ola/Uber - reliable and affordable for areas not covered by Metro. 3) Private car with driver (₹2000-2500/day) for comfort. 4) Auto-rickshaws for short distances (use meter or negotiate).

Wear modest, comfortable clothing. For women, avoid sleeveless tops and short skirts at religious sites. Light cotton clothes work best in summer. Carry a scarf for temple and mosque visits. Comfortable walking shoes are essential.
