Delhi

Steeped in centuries of history, India’s capital is dotted with the impressive monuments left by successive waves of conquerors. The most prominent are the 17th-century Mughal Red Fort and those of the British imperial city of New Delhi. The latter includes a majority of the most striking landmarks, including Sir Edwin Lutyens’ majestic Rajpath, an immense ceremonial avenue that leads up to the Presidential Palace and Parliament buildings. Delhi today is a vibrant city, but it is still struggling with chronic air pollution and congestion.
