Delhi is one of India’s most interesting cities, beaming with exotic cuisine, vibrant culture, and rich history. It blends the best of two different worlds, the past (Old Delhi) and the present (New Delhi). If you want to learn more about the city, begin your exploration at Qutub Minar, the country’s tallest minaret. For a breath of fresh air, we recommend heading over to Lodi Gardens or National Zoological Park. For more, the city’s arts and culture scene is also thriving. Some museums you can include in your itinerary are the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), the National Museum in New Delhi, and the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Expect an exciting trip here, and guarantee yourself a comfy stay by checking out the most unique Airbnbs to stay in Delhi, India, below.
Unique attractions in Delhi:
- A must-visit for eco-conscious travelers, Waste to Wonder Park is the world's first theme park to showcase replicas of the seven wonders of the world made completely out of waste products.
- Said to have been built in the 13th century, Agrasen ki Baoli is an ancient architectural marvel. It was built as a water reservoir with 103 step stones and is great for Instagram-worthy shots.

How we choose the best unique accommodations

Regional uniqueness: We prioritize accommodations that are rare or uncommon, offering something distinct that sets them apart from the typical hotel experience.
Architecture and design: We look for properties with unique structures, themed rooms, custom-made decor, artistic elements, or integration of local cultural influences that differentiate the property from typical buildings in the region.
Special experiences: We evaluate the unique experiences offered by the property, including bespoke services, exclusive dining options, as well as extraordinary amenities like underwater spas or private art galleries.
Exclusive location: We seek accommodations situated in unusual or extraordinary settings, such as remote, scenic, or culturally significant areas, providing guests with immersive cultural experiences and extraordinary views.
Overall value: We also evaluate each property’s accessibility, guest experiences, service quality, comfort, and overall quality relative to its price.
By considering these factors, we aim to recommend accommodations that offer an unforgettable stay.
