Thirty-five euros. That's roughly what you'd spend on lunch in Brera on a good day. In New Delhi, €35 covers a full day: food, transport, entry to monuments, and still change left over. The flight to get there? From €454 return, non-stop from Milan.

💰 How far does your money go?
Street food in Chandni Chowk costs around €1.20 for a filling plate of chole bhature or biryani. A sit-down dinner in a decent restaurant in Hauz Khas comes to around €8–12 per person. Your daily budget, including food, transport, and entry to monuments, runs about €35. That is less than dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant in Milan.
☀️ The weather
July is monsoon season in New Delhi. Expect highs of 34°C with heavy humidity and frequent afternoon downpours. Rain usually comes in bursts rather than lasting all day, so mornings are often clear enough to sightsee. Pack light, breathable clothes and a compact umbrella. The upside: crowds at major monuments are noticeably thinner than in peak season.
🏨 Where to stay
New Delhi has options across every price point, from design hotels to heritage palaces.
Bloomrooms @ Link Road - 9.0/10 · From €22/night
A well-designed budget hotel with reliable service and easy metro access. Solid choice for solo travellers or couples keeping costs down.
The Claridges New Delhi - 8.6/10 · From €90/night
A colonial-era heritage hotel in Lutyens' Delhi with shaded gardens and a pool. The kind of mid-range stay that feels unexpectedly elegant.

One of the finest hotels in India. Central location, flawless service, and views of Humayun's Tomb from the pool terrace.
🎯 What to do
Old Delhi is one of the most alive places on earth. New Delhi gives you the monuments.
Wander Chandni Chowk - Delhi's 17th-century market is best explored on foot or by cycle rickshaw. Eat everything in sight.
Visit the Red Fort - Shah Jahan's red sandstone fortress took a decade to build. The scale of it still catches people off guard.
Climb Qutub Minar - The tallest brick minaret in the world, built in 1193, rising 73 metres above the city's southern edge.
Sit inside the Lotus Temple - White marble architecture rising from reflecting pools, open to visitors of any faith. One of the most unusual buildings in Asia.
🗺️ Where to go from here
New Delhi is one of the great gateways. The Golden Triangle alone is worth a full week.
Agra - Two and a half hours by express train. The Taj Mahal at sunrise, without the midday crowds.
Jaipur - The Pink City. Palaces, forts, and Rajasthan's desert markets, three to four hours from Delhi by train.
Varanasi - One of the oldest living cities on earth, on the banks of the Ganges. Take the overnight train or a short domestic flight from Delhi.
Rishikesh - Six hours north in the foothills of the Himalayas. Yoga retreats, white-water rafting, and quiet river mornings.
Udaipur - Rajasthan's lake city. A short domestic flight from Delhi and somewhere that barely feels real.
Non-stop from Milan at this price, New Delhi does not come around often. Check dates before they go.
