Built on the site of twelve former cities it is the gateway to India and has been the countrys centre of power for almost a thousand years. Jama Masjid, the Friday Mosque, is one of old Delhis main landmarks, bequeathed to the city by the Mogul king, Shah Jahan. Its huge inner courtyard accommodates twenty thousand.

The National Rail Museum contains an interesting collection of nostalgic locomotives, carriages and memorabilia and for those who do not wish to risk a journey on Indias present day over-packed trains, the museum provides the perfect opportunity to imagine how it must have been on the Indian railroads of old.

No other city in this huge and diverse country demonstrates the dramatic history of India with all the intensity of colour as Delhi.
