About New Delhi

New Delhi verbindt de statige lanen van de Indiase hoofdstad met de bazaars en Mogolmonumenten van Oud-Delhi: een stad van rijken en geweldig eten.

De geplande hoofdstad draait om een grote ceremoniële laan van de India Gate naar Rashtrapati Bhavan, het presidentieel paleis. Daarbij in de buurt ligt Humayuns graftombe, een voorloper van de Taj Mahal, in een formele tuin, en in het zuiden rijst de Qutb Minar op, een torenhoge minaret van zandsteen. De Lotustempel en het enorme Akshardham-complex zijn opvallende moderne bezienswaardigheden.
