Delhi

Delhi is a city spanning two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power for several rulers and many empires for about a millennium.

The city's importance lies not just in its past glory as the seat of empires and magnificent monuments, but also in the rich and diverse cultures. You will discover that the city is sprinkled with dazzling gems: captivating ancient monuments, fascinating museums and art galleries, architectural wonders, a vivacious performing-arts scene, fabulous eating places and bustling markets.

Delhi has been the political hub of India. Every political activity in the country traces its roots here. This was true even of the mythological era. The Pandavas of the Mahabharata had their capital at Indraprastha, which is believed to have been geographically located in today's Delhi.

Agra

Once the seat of the imperial court, the historic town of Agra and its environs are home to palaces, gardens and mausoleums of immense elegance and style. Dating back to the sixteenth century no less than three of Agra's treasures have been designated Unesco World Heritage Sites

Start your experience by visiting the imposing 16th century Agra Fort that sits impressively on the west bank of the River Yamuna. Built of red sandstone, its buildings comprise an elegant collection of halls, courtyards and pavilions. From here, it is just a short journey to the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri - another World Heritage Site. Built between 1571 and 1585, this was the Mughal capital for 14 years and its royal complex is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Islamic architecture.

Built by the 17th century Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, The Taj Mahal is said to be the most famous building in the world. Judge for yourself whether its elegant marble façades do indeed look perfect from every angle as its reputation would insist.
