About Nuova Delhi

Nuova Delhi unisce i viali solenni della capitale indiana ai bazar e ai monumenti moghul della Vecchia Delhi, tra imperi sovrapposti e grande cucina.

La capitale progettata ruota attorno a un grande viale cerimoniale che va dall'India Gate al Rashtrapati Bhavan, il palazzo presidenziale. Nelle vicinanze, la Tomba di Humayun, precursore del Taj Mahal, sorge in giardini formali, e il Qutb Minar, un imponente minareto di arenaria, si innalza a sud. Il Tempio del Loto e il vasto complesso di Akshardham aggiungono notevoli monumenti moderni.

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