5 things to know before you go
- 01
Delhi Metro is your best friend — safe, AC, women-only coaches on every train.
- 02
Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk) is overwhelming and scam-dense; go with a plan and leave by 6pm.
- 03
Prepaid taxi booth inside IGI Airport arrivals is the only safe airport exit — ignore everyone else.
- 04
Connaught Place touts will claim the tourist office is closed/moved; it is not — walk in yourself.
- 05
South Delhi (Hauz Khas, Saket, Lodi Colony) is a different city — modern, safe, great food.
