Best tourist places to visit in India - Delhi
In India, the sights to visit are endless. Some of artistic and cultural, religious and meditation centers, national parks or protected beaches and mountain sports and leisure facilities. In any case I recommend that travelers do not try to see if it has too many places recently. It is more interesting to visit places few calm before a trip superficial.
Art, culture and nature:
India is sufficiently old, large and varied as to require considerable time if you want to learn their art, culture and landscape with a certain depth. Although from the outside can have a monolithic culture India, regions, its people, its culture, its landscape, its attractions and customs become highly differentiated from each other. List everything that is worth visiting in India would require a volume of data to write a small encyclopedia. However I offer a summary of the most essential, sometimes the most topical, but not less interesting.
Visit Delhi in India
Delhi:
The capital, Delhi, with their areas of New and Old Delhi has many places to visit or just to stroll the bazaars of the old town. As in other parts of the world, the legacy of religious architecture has a special attraction. The tomb of Humayun is a splendid example of early Mughal architecture.
It is the only building constructed by a wife in memory of her husband, in this case, the second emperor of the Mughal dynasty. If you want to have a good overview of the artistic tradition is indispensable India visit the National Museum of India where you can see interesting old pieces carved in stone, some from Harappa, as in cast iron, especially in painting and a fabulous collection miniatures from various periods. Other museums of interest are Modern Art and the Railroad.
At the heart of the new city walk through Connaught Place, which reproduces the square structure of Picadilly Circus in London, where you'll find all kinds of shops and restaurants. Thence leaving Janpath Road which is one of the main streets of the city, by which some of the most useful directions for tourists and around which you can find lively markets clothing and crafts.
Old Delhi is the ancient walled city of the seventeenth century, with its maze of alleys and bazaars.
There you can visit the Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India built in the seventeenth century by Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal also. Nearby is the historic Red Fort, a fort of red sandstone interior chambers full of marble carving. Also worth visiting the Qutab Minar minaret, the thirteenth century, in sandstone and marble, and its proximity to the Iron Column 1600 years old, whose special alloy that has succeeded despite being immune to the elements to rust.
The nearby mosque Quwwat-ul-lslam is the oldest in India. Another point to visit the Jantar Mantar near Connaught Place, a magnificent astronomical observatory with masonry instruments, built by King Jai Singh, an engineer, mathematician and astronomer.
