Bollywood dance lessons. - Jun 2024
Taj Mahal isn't exactly a hidden gem but was worth the visit. - Apr 2024
In addition to the tourist top 10 of tombs, forts, markets, and religious sites, there is the National Museum and the Craft Museum. The twice-yearly “7 Cities” is absolutely awesome. It is a social and educational experience with a group of 40 meeting for 10 weeks to explore the historical layers in Delhi. - Apr 2024
The one month a year (usually February-ish) when the Mughal Gardens of the Presidential Palace are open is really worth a visit. It’s free, even though you may have to wait in line, or reserve in advance, but they are really beautiful! - Jul 2020
The Taj Mahal is not hidden but most people think it is worth checking out. - Jul 2019
So much history! Visit them all big and small! The President's Mughal Garden is only open for one month in Feb/March and is worth it. Do the Seven Cities tour program for a huge taste of history. Qutab Minar is my favorite big place. Feroz Shah Kotla is a great less visited place. - Mar 2017
So many travel options. In Delhi, tons to see. We love Delhi by Cycle. Neemrana Fort is cool. - Nov 2016
The list of interesting/fun things to do in Delhi is amazing, and there is more than could be condensed into these pages. Check out some good online advice and guide-books.

Tons. This is a great tourism destination and millions come here to enjoy what India has to offer. You'll never run out of things to do. - Aug 2013
Travel. Take art, dance, and music classes. Enjoy great shopping for art, fabrics, and furniture. Attend cultural activities and concerts affiliated with embassies. - May 2013
Explore temples; see old forts; SHOPPING. Indians have MANY family obligations, so unlike in the US and EUR where there are entire industries dedicated to entertaining folks, here people spend time with family. That is the hard part for expats here... I think, not much to do after work. - Oct 2012
Going to malls, joining embassy groups, checking out market tips. - Sep 2012
there are museums and nice festivals. Delhi though is a dusty, dirty, crowded metro -- traveling to nearby places is more fun. - Aug 2011
spas, great art scene, water sports in Rishikesh, Tibetan community in Dharamsala, yoga anywhere, rickshaw rides through Old Delhi - Aug 2011
Ziplining in Rajasthan, great forts, palaces, temples, white water rafting on the Indus and Ganges. - Aug 2011
The whole country, the whole region. - Jan 2011
Old Delhi touring, nature walks, South side parks, some running/bicycle clubs, a handful of museums and a funky zoo. - Sep 2010
There are parks in South Delhi, the famous landmarks of the old town (Jama mosque, the red fort, Qutb Minar, Humayun tomb). There are many markets, which carn turn women crazy (mostly women´s clothing). Some movie theaters (most of the time they screen bollywood flicks in Hindi), etc. - Aug 2010
Tons! Restaurants, gardens, historical sites, temples, Old Delhi, meeting up with friends (lots of house parties), volunteering opportunities. The opportunities are there, it's what you make of it. - Aug 2010
One of my favorite things is to go take picture of SPIT ART. This is people spiting all over the place. - Aug 2010
One of my favourite things to do is actually going shopping in Old Delhi. The many sights sounds and smells remind you how it once was. Visiting all the old monuments, there are so many; some not well kept though. Shopping is wonderful here if you find the right places and can get lots of bargins. - Mar 2008
There are tons of temples and monuments to see all over Delhi. The Gandhi Museum was exceptionally moving. Shopping in Delhi could fill many days. Dilli Haat is an outdoor market in South Delhi - it's definitely worth a trip. - Feb 2008
