“What are the top 3 tourist sites in Delhi?” a question that has been frequently asked by travelers planning to visit the capital of India. “Why limit yourself to just 3?” is probably the best reply! Shine Gold Tours India offers 3 days
Delhi tour so that we can show you all the sites that are worth a visit.
So here is a suggested itinerary for the day 1 of sightseeing in Delhi city:
Day 1: Today you will be met at Indira Gandhi International Airport from your flight – or from your Delhi hotel if you are already here for your first sightseeing day in Delhi. On the first day we suggest the
Red Fort which is probably the most famous and widely visited of all Delhi sites. It is built of red sandstone – hence its name – and was completed in 1648 for the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Inside the Fort (closed on Mondays) are many palaces, halls and gardens.

Chandni Chowk and the Spice Market run westward from the Red Fort, best seen by cycle rickshaw riding the full length of
Chandni Chowk to the spice market itself to view of the wholesale selling of spices. Just off Chandni Chowk you will be shown the jewellery and wedding bazaars.

Raj Ghat, to the south east of Red Fort is the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, his daughter Indira Gandhi and his 2 grandsons, Sanjay and Rajiv.

Gandhi Smitri – continuing the Mahatma Gandhi theme, this is the house where he was assassinated in 1948. It houses many of his personal effects and movingly shows his last footsteps on his way to evening prayers where he was shot.

Nearby is the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum. Mrs Gandhi was shot by her Sikh bodyguards in 1984 after the storming of their sacred Golden Temple in Amritsar. The museum houses her sari plus many of her personal belongings.
5 sites so far and that’s just the first day of
Delhi sightseeing tour. Time now to relax and contemplate on what you have seen of bustling Delhi and its history by spending some quiet time over a drink in Connaught Place before heading off to see the President’s House, the Government Secretariat Building, both designed by Lutyens at the end of the British colonial period, then India Gate by night before deciding on which of the hundreds of splendid restaurants to have your evening meal.
