As India’s second largest city, Delhi has a lot to offer visitors to its ancient streets. In addition to the world reknown historical and spiritual sites, the city is famous for its beautiful architecture and wonderful food. Shopping is another important part of the Delhi experience, with markets and bazaars positioned throughout the city. Visitors staying at any of the Delhi five star hotels will find no shortage of landmarks, shopping, and great eateries within easy distance of their lodgings.

The Red Fort is Delhi’s most popular historic landmark. Built as the royal residence of the Mughal Emperor Sha Jahan, the Red Fort is one of three World Heritage Sites in Delhi. The red sandstone complex was completed in 1648 and contains a number of interior palaces that are famous in their own right as well as lush gardens and the “Chatta Chowk” or “Covered Bazaar.” Visitors enter the Fort through the Lahore Gate and pass through the Chatta Chowk on their way to fort proper.

There are two halls where the Emperor could hold audiences. The Diwan-i-Am or “Hall of Public Audience” boasts a marble platform where the throne of th Emperor was placed. It served to separate the inner court from the outer court. The Diwan-i-Khas was the “Hall of Private Audience.” The Emperor used this building for the reception of special visitors and the entire building is constructed of marble.

The main residence of the Emperor was the Khas Mahal. The Emperor would appear each morning to the public from the Mussaman Burj tower, and octogonal structure overlooking the Yamuna River. The main wife of the Sultan resided in the Rang Mahal or “Colour Palace.” It was part of the zenana, which were five pavilions built into the complex as women’s quarters. The Daawat Khana was the prince’s residence and is located at the Fort’s north end. The British converted this minor palace into a tea house and it serves as such to this day, offering meals and beverages to visitors.

The Red Fort houses several museums. The Jewel Palace or Mumtaz Mahal features a collection of court weapons, carpets, textiles, and other objects. Mumtaz Mahal was designed for the Sultan’s harem, consisting of six individual apartments. Swatrantra Sangrama Sangrahalaya is the Museum of the Independence Movement. It features exhibits charting India’s independence activism from 1857 through Gandhi.

Mumbai is the largest city in India and arguably the most cosmopolitan. The city formerly known in the West as Bombay is a center of commerce, entertainment, and culture for India and its influence can be felt throughout the world. Mumbai has it all: historic palaces and temples, modern shopping malls and office buildings, street food stall and world-class restaurants. Visitors can stay in one of the five star hotels in Mumbai or choose smaller and cozier lodgings.

Visitors should be sure to sample the local cuisine as offered in the omnipresent street stalls. While there are higher concentrations of food stalls near rail stations, colleges, and on the beaches, you should be able to sample food stall on practically every street corner. Just be careful that they prepare the food in front of you to ensure its freshness and you may want to avoid street food completely during monsoon season due to the presence of flies. Street vendors offer a variety of foods from Vada Pav stands (which is a Mumbai speciality) to Bhelpuri stalls (bhelpuri is called chaat in other parts of India) to Chinese food stalls and sandwich stands.

Some of the Indian foods offered at street stalls may be unfamiliar. Vada Pav is a mashed potato patty served between pav bread and served with several chutneys. Pav Bhaji is mashed vegetables cooked with a variety of spices and topped with butter. It also is served with pav. One classic Mumbai dish is bhel puri (sometimes just called bhel) which is puffed rice with assorted spices and several chutneys. You can specify if you want it spicy or bland.

Mumbai street vendors also offer hybrid foods that blend Indian and other cuisines. Some varieties include Chinese Bhel puri, Tandoori Chicken Pizzas, and McAloo Tikki burgers. If you’re craving ice cream, its sometimes better to get it from a street stall than a fancy ice cream parlor — its cheaper and the flavors available are incredible.
