Why Families Love Delhi

Delhi is the perfect base for exploring India's Golden Triangle. The city itself overwhelms with history β€” Red Fort, Qutb Minar, Humayun's Tomb β€” while offering world-class hotels that provide a safe and comfortable base for the whole family.

The Delhi Metro is world-class β€” use it with kids; women and children have reserved coaches

Avoid eating street food in your first few days β€” let your stomach adjust before trying chaat

πŸ’‘

Book Taj Mahal tickets online in advance β€” the queue at the gate can be 2-3 hours

πŸ’‘

Humayun's Tomb at sunrise is magical β€” and far less crowded than the Taj
