Places to Visit in New Delhi, India
Delhi - A Heritage City with Centuries old Forts, Temples, Mosques, Historic Sites, Should be on every World Travelers bucket list.
Best Time to visit: November through March
The Underground Metro is operational in Delhi. Air-conditioned and very clean. New Delhi has more Buses (Public Transportation) then any other city in the World. The Buses use clean fuel and are natural gas-powered. The Delhi government is studying a proposal to introduce a fleet of solar-powered battery electric buses in the city.
Delhi Tourism has a hop on hop off bus, which is also a great way to see the city. If you are not on a budget, use a cab, as trains are packed with people

World Heritage Site, Its also known as Lal Quilla in Hindi, neaarest Metro station Chandni Chowk. On Indian On Independence Day (15 August), the Prime Minister of India hoists the national flag at Red Fort.
