Hotel Broadway Delhi

Here are 20 great things to do in India?s capital.

1. Try Dilli-ki-Chaat ? Delhi?s tangy local street food, such as chaat papdi (fried wafers loaded with potatoes, chickpeas, yoghurt and chilli) or golgappas (fried hollow dough filled with chickpeas and spicy potatoes), in Old Delhi, just 2 minutes walk from Hotel Broadway Delhi.

2. Visit the great sandstone carcass of the Red Fort, and imagine the last days of the Mughal empire and the British era. Just 10 minutes walk from Hotel Broadway Delhi.

3. Humayun?s Tomb combines Persian style with local craftsmanship, and is surrounded by the fiercely symmetrical Mughal gardens: take a stroll here at dusk. A leisurely 10 minute drive from our hotel.

4. Hear qawwalis (devotional music) sung at dargah of Nizamuddin Auliya; religious songs resounding at around sunset at one of Islam?s holiest tombs. A leisurely 15 minute drive from our hotel.

5. A trip to our in house bar, "Thugs-the pub not the people" is a must. Our ?Rogues Gallery?, a pub where portraits of filmi villains ranging from Hollywood greats Al Capone, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid to the all time great Bollywood villains Gabbar, Mogambo and of course Ajit ?the loin? looks down upon you as you enjoy snacks, sizzlers and all types of liquor and beer on tap.

6. Lose yourself to shopping, in the temples to Indian craft that are Delhi?s government emporiums on Janpath, close to Connaught Place. 5 minutes drive from our hotel.

7. Get lost and confused in the narrow bazaars of Old Delhi, and feel like you?ve wandered somewhere medieval-these lanes are located right behind our beautiful hotel.

8. Ride on the Delhi metro: so cheap, so clean, so democratic, unlike the other world upstairs-nearest metro station is New Delhi from our hotel, just a 7 minute walk.

9. Get a suit made in Khan Market ? take one to copy and get made-to-measure at a fraction of the cost of Savile Row. Just a 15 minutes drive from our hotel.

10. Visit the former home of Indira Gandhi, Indira Gandhi Smriti, where she was shot dead by one of her bodyguards in 1984, and learn about India?s most powerful dynasty.

11. Wander around Lodhi Gardens on a Sunday afternoon, the perfect place for people watching.

12. Discover the district of Hauz Khas, with its crumbling Mughal tombs and tempting art, antique and fashion boutiques.

13. A must on every visitor?s itinerary. Chor Bizarre?s kaleidoscopic interiors capture the spirit of the ?chor bazaar? (thieves market). An Aladdin?s cave of bric-a-brac and fascinating antiques, the resplendent furnishings and d?cor have been collected from various bazaars of India. Similarly authentic recipes have been collected from various parts of India with the restaurant?s forte being Kashmiri cuisine.

14. Use the map from William Dalrymple?s City of Djinns for a different way to explore the city.

15. Eat a great Gujarati thali at pristine Rajdhani, opposite Rivoli cinema, just off Connaught Place.

16. Shop middle-class Delhiite-style at laid-back Khan Market, browsing its bookshops and hanging out for a chat at Caf? Turtle, fuelled by coffee and gooey cake.

17. Take a trip out to peaceful Qutb Minar, with its towering minaret resembling an ornate factory chimney.

18. Wind up at the Jama Masjid, climb the mosque?s minaret, then enjoy a classic non-veg meal at nearby culinary institutions Karim?s or Al-Jawahar, famous for their roasted meat kebabs. Just a 5 minute cycle-rikshaw ride from Hotel Broadway Delhi.

19. Get flabbergasted by the wealth of Indian art at the National Museum.

20. Visit Gandhi?s simple tomb in its tranquil gardens, and drink in the atmosphere ? nowhere else in Delhi is as peaceful as this-just a 10 minute leisurely walk from our hotel.
