Обзор
Delhi is India's capital and one of its oldest continuously inhabited cities, a sprawling metropolis where centuries of empires have left forts, tombs and mosques scattered among modern avenues and crowded bazaars. Old Delhi, around the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, is a dense maze of markets, street food and rickshaws, while New Delhi to the south is greener and more spacious, with India Gate and the wide colonial-era boulevards. Landmarks like Humayun's Tomb and the towering Qutub Minar rank among the country's finest monuments. Delhi can overwhelm first-time visitors with its noise, traffic and persistent touts, but the excellent metro makes it far easier to navigate than it looks, and a firm, friendly manner goes a long way. Eat well, stay hydrated, keep your wits about you around the main tourist areas, and Delhi rewards you with extraordinary history, food and colour. It is also the usual gateway to Agra and the wider north.

Частые обманы
'Your hotel is closed' diversion
ВысокаяКак это работает: A taxi or auto driver, or a fake 'tourist office', claims your hotel is closed, full or unsafe, then diverts you to another hotel or agency that pays them a commission.
Как этого избежать: Confirm your booking directly with the hotel by phone, insist on being taken to your actual address, and ignore unsolicited 'official tourist offices' near the station and markets.
Gem and carpet export scam
ВысокаяКак это работает: A friendly contact offers a deal to buy gems, jewellery or carpets and resell them abroad at a profit, asking you to pay now and carry or receive goods later. The goods are worthless and the money is gone.
Как этого избежать: Never buy valuables to 'resell for profit' on a stranger's promise. Treat any unsolicited investment or export deal as a scam and walk away.
Auto-rickshaw overcharging
СредняяКак это работает: Drivers refuse the meter, quote inflated flat fares to tourists, claim your destination is 'very far' or take long detours, sometimes via shops that pay commission.
Как этого избежать: Use a ride-hailing app with a fixed price, or insist on the meter and know the rough fare first. Decline detours to shops and pay only what was agreed.
Fake ticket touts at monuments
СредняяКак это работает: People outside the Red Fort, Qutub Minar or other sights claim the official queue is closed or sell 'skip-the-line' or fake tickets at inflated prices.
Как этого избежать: Buy only at the official ticket counter or verified online site. Ignore anyone intercepting you outside, and check opening hours in advance so their claims do not work.

Безопасность
ПредупреждениеDelhi's air quality can be very poor, especially in late autumn and winter. Check an air-quality app, limit strenuous outdoor time on bad days, and consider a mask if you are sensitive or have breathing conditions.
ОсторожноStick to sealed bottled or filtered water, avoid tap water and ice of unknown origin, and choose busy places cooking fresh. Building up gradually helps avoid the common travellers' stomach upset.
ОсторожноTraffic is dense and fast with assertive driving, and crossings can be chaotic. Cross with care, ideally with locals or at signals and footbridges, and stay alert to autos and motorbikes weaving through.
Скрытые жемчужины
Visit Humayun's Tomb in the late afternoon for golden light and far fewer crowds than the busiest sights.
Explore Old Delhi's lanes around Chandni Chowk on foot or by cycle-rickshaw for street food and market colour.
Use Delhi as a base and take an early fast train to Agra for the Taj Mahal as a comfortable day trip.
