Getting Around
Metro
New Delhi Metro operates from 6am to 11pm with fares starting at ₹10, and you can purchase a smart card to save 10% on each ride while enjoying seamless access to major spots like Connaught Place and Chandni Chowk. For quicker travel, avoid peak hours (8-10am, 5-8pm) when trains get extremely crowded.
Taxi
In New Delhi, taxis are widely available, and rides typically cost around ₹25 per kilometer, with a minimum fare of ₹40; always prefer using apps like Uber or Ola for a cashless payment option. For safety, avoid unlicensed taxis and always check the driver's rating before getting in, especially late at night.

« There is such a profession. Cleaning ears. I have no idea how much it costs now. I haven't decided on it yet))) But would you like someone to clean your ears for you? Is there really a need for such a service?))) »
« First day in India. So far, it’s hard to describe my feelings, but after the mission of getting from the airport to New Delhi, I managed pretty well. The local food is amazing, and figuring out how to buy train tickets took a huge roundabout since locals could catch us two steps away from the station and send us away for our tickets. 😄
I suspected it would be cold in Delhi, but I didn't have a warm blanket to sleep with, so I ended up sleeping in a t-shirt. 😂 Luckily, I managed to walk around comfortably during the day.
I made some sketches in my sketchbook, but I'm still struggling to speak English. I can partially understand, though. 😅
Tomorrow is a new day, a new adventure! 🚀 »
« Oh, this is India, where someone can witness the chaos that seems to be constantly buzzing around. An hour on the busy streets of Delhi and the brain just can't take it anymore. All I want is just a couple of minutes of silence without the eternal honking of cars, the blaring of horns, and the shouting on the streets. But it's definitely worth spending time in a cozy café, sipping a cup of coffee while absorbing the madness that surrounds you.
The ambiance is ideally cozy, with a kind of standard aesthetic, where amidst the open spaces, some places are much better than sitting on the floor, dealing with the thin layer of dust and grime that covers the streets everywhere. Indian metropolises are definitely not the cleanest out there. You must see it for yourself; living here – well, that's a different story. 😅 »
« Cultural shift 😶🌫️
Jama Masjid - the largest mosque in India 🙏 It's perched atop a hill and surprisingly looks bigger than it actually is. The central courtyard can hold about 20,000 people at once. Plus, here you can find the craziest traditional garments for rent and even try them on! 😄 »
« The traffic here is definitely insane... But the colors and emotions are just amazing! 😊 »
« Delhi is hard to compare and find the right epithets. It's a year's worth of impressions packed into a single day. A completely different experience from Asia. »
« Delhi is an incredibly vibrant city. Some neighborhoods resemble European cities with their beauty, order, and historical architecture, while others are filled with the harsh realities of life in slums and homeless people on the streets. It's such a stark contrast of wealth and poverty within a single city.
In Delhi, cows roam the streets, sheep can be seen, monkeys dart about, and three-wheeled bicycles zip by alongside enthusiastic motorcycle rickshaws. The city is a wild concoction of colors, scents, vehicles, people, the shouts of vendors, music, and the ever-present chaos. It's a place full of vivid impressions and emotions, but honestly, two days is enough, and you start to feel the urge to leave... 😊 »
« "Listen less to people and their opinions! We didn’t experience any culture shock. Of course, it’s not the Maldives, so don’t expect luxury and cleanliness here. Dust, dirt, persistent vendors. But there’s something special and unlike anything else in the world about it. And I like it here. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions too soon. Call me a dreamer, but my dream has come true. I’m in India! ❤️" »
« Delhi isn't a city where you need to stay for more than a day or a day and a half. No matter how much some people enjoy the dirty coal sellers, it's the people and their faces that are the true gems of this city and the whole country. Those famous gates? Well, they just closed them two weeks before Independence Day! 😊 »
« Delhi... Anyone who has ever been to this city always remembers their very first impressions 😊 Mine were quite mixed. The first few hours on the streets of Delhi leave you feeling bewildered, shocked, and disoriented 😂 Cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, dogs, cows, and endless streams of people rush by. But by the next morning, I realized that I actually like this city and everything happening around me 🌟 Delhi is considered one of the oldest cities in the world, and it's probably the oldest city in India. It's a chaotic metropolis filled with the sounds of honking cars, beautifully preserved and crumbling architectural masterpieces, numerous museums, bustling markets, narrow streets, and crowds of tourists from all over 🌍 In this city, two worlds coexist harmoniously – the economically developed New Delhi and the Old City. »
« First impressions can often be deceiving. That was the case for us. Upon our first encounter, the Indian capital seemed unfriendly, dirty, damp, and cold. Yet after nearly a month, we returned here feeling at home☺. Delhi is a magical city with a really strong energy. »
« India, Delhi, train station, dirt, poverty, vibrant... Pure chaos!!! So many impressions, it felt like jumping out of a plane. 😅 »
« First photo report from Delhi. Initial impressions of the city and its people aren't great; I'm hoping Goa will be better. »
« We are enjoying Delhi more and more... 😊 Every corner of the city has something new to discover! From the vibrant street markets to the delicious food stalls, it’s a sensory overload, in the best way possible. The fusion of cultures, the history embedded in the architecture, and the relentless energy of the people create a unique atmosphere.
The public transport has improved as well, making it much easier to navigate. We found that using the metro is not only efficient but also very affordable, with fares starting around $0.30!
And oh, the dining options! Whether it's a cozy little café or a bustling food market, the variety is astounding. A tasty meal can be enjoyed for as little as $2, which makes exploring the culinary scene quite tempting. 😋
All in all, Delhi surprises us every day, with its blend of modernity and tradition. Can't wait to see what else this vibrant city has in store! 🌟 »
« The city gives off a very negative impression right from the start, there's a lot of trash, and people living on the sidewalks is just a normal sight here :) »
