India is a land of snake charmers and magicians, and the capital of this mystical land is Delhi. Founded around 1200 B.C., destroyed and built seven times, the city is teeming with history, telling the colourful story of bygone eras.
It is a city of contradictions and complexities, beautiful and dynamic, and where the past co-exists with the present. Many dynasties ruled from Delhi and the city is rich in architecture and monuments. Nowadays, diverse cultural elements have been absorbed into the daily life of the city, enriching its character.
Delhi has been the elegant capital of India since 1912. The old city is marked by its narrow, busy streets, home to bazaars, places of worship and many cafes, shops and restaurants, while New Delhi boasts cool, spacious boulevards and modern buildings. Altogether, the city has a myriad of places of interest to see and visit.
