New Delhi is a city that is covered with mysteries that need to be unwrapped; a place full of history to be read over and over again. Its colorful beauty, magical aura, and free-spirited nature have made people fall in love with Delhi and that is the reason they call it “Dilwale” city. Being a metropolitan city, it has become home to the people coming from every corner of India. While Old Delhi keeps you in awe of the brilliant Mughal architecture work, New Delhi showcases how metro life looks. Here are some of the tours that you should take if you are in New Delhi:

During my student days, I cruised by the HOHO bus with my friends for a hassle-free tour of the city’s gems. I hop off for a quick wander at the Qutab Minar, then maybe linger at the National Museum. Pro tip: Choose a couple of spots to really soak in, and always keep an eye out for local eats near the stops – they're a treat. These buses are available every 40 minutes at each HOHO Bus Stop.
