What are your main interests? History, architecture, shopping, people watching, walking, eating, clubbing, or just chilling out?

If you go up to Old Delhi to see 4 and 6, make it towards the end of the day and then go to Karim's for dinner.

Brother hal you are a confirmed Karim addict !!!!
Take the metro in the evening to Chawri bazar and walk the lanes & bylanes in the Ballimaran area, visit the haveli of Ghalib and sample varities of kababs and niharis. Don't miss Safderjung's tomb near Lodhi gardens. The Sufi music at the dargah of Baba Nizamuddin on Thursdays is a must attend. Good luck & enjoy Delhi. |
