The most popular things to do in New Delhi

It’s incredibly easy to entertain the kids in New Delhi. The city blooms with fun, educational, and inspirational kid-oriented museums, like the National Rail Museum. While history buffs gaze at the giant, perfectly preserved engines of India’s locomotive history, kids can whirl around on the scale toy train ride. Another key kid-friendly museum is Shankar’s International Dolls Museum, which displays 1000s of antique dolls – from intricate Indian costume dolls to Spanish Flamenco models. Slightly older kids, meanwhile, will go wild for the Nehru Centre Planetarium, which dazzles and delights with talks and shows about the cosmos, given in English. If your kids need to burn off some excess energy, let them explore the palm-copses and abundant flower-bushes of the peaceful Lodi Gardens, near the center.

Best ways to get around New Delhi

New Delhi’s extensive and easy-to-navigate Metro system snakes and twists around the city and out into the wider urban areas, offering convenient and inexpensive transport. Similarly, New Delhi’s extensive public bus network can come in handy. But if you’re traveling with tiny tots and want to avoid busy public transport, make use of New Delhi’s taxicabs – these are best booked in advance from your hotel, restaurant, or via a trusted smartphone app. Teens, meanwhile, will love whizzing around the city by 3-wheeled auto-rickshaw.
