Delhi
The capital: Mughal monuments, a walled old city and the gateway for the north.
Why Delhi
Delhi is a National Capital Territory and, for most visitors, the start of an India trip. Three of its monuments are UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Red Fort (inscribed 2007), Humayun's Tomb and the Qutb Minar complex (both 1993) — and Old Delhi adds living streets and the Jama Masjid.
