About Neu-Delhi

Neu-Delhi verbindet die stattlichen Alleen der Hauptstadt mit den Basaren und Mogulbauten Alt-Delhis: Reiche in Schichten und großartiges Essen.

Die geplante Hauptstadt ist auf eine große Prachtstraße ausgerichtet, die vom India Gate zum Rashtrapati Bhavan, dem Präsidentenpalast, führt. In der Nähe liegt Humayuns Grabmal, ein Vorläufer des Taj Mahal, in formalen Gärten, und im Süden ragt der Qutb Minar auf, ein hohes Minarett aus Sandstein. Der Lotustempel und die riesige Anlage von Akshardham setzen markante moderne Akzente.

Top-ranked sights in Neu-Delhi: India Gate, Jama Masjid (Masjid e Jahan Numa), Chandni Chowk.
