What’s included

Getting around New Delhi: metro, autos, taxis and whether you need a car

You do not need a car in Delhi. The Delhi Metro runs around 390 km across a dozen lines with fares of ₹10–60, and it reaches almost every site on an archaeology itinerary: Chandni Chowk and Lal Qila for the Red Fort, Rajiv Chowk for Connaught Place, Jor Bagh for Lodhi Gardens and Safdarjung’s Tomb, Hauz Khas for the madrasa complex, and Qutub Minar station a short auto ride from the Qutub. Trains run roughly 06:00 to 23:00 and a Tourist Card costs ₹200 for one day or ₹500 for three, plus a ₹50 refundable deposit. Autorickshaws start at about ₹30 for the first 1.5 km and are the right tool for the last two kilometres from a metro exit; insist on the meter or use an app. Ola and Uber work everywhere and a Connaught Place to Qutub Minar run, about 15 km, is usually ₹300–450 off-peak.

From the airport, the Airport Express (Orange Line) covers the 22.7 km from IGI Terminal 3 to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes for ₹60, stopping at Delhi Aerocity and Dhaula Kuan. A prepaid taxi from T3 to Connaught Place runs ₹500–700 and takes 35–50 minutes depending on traffic on NH-48 and Dhaula Kuan. Where a car earns its keep is the Mehrauli belt and the day trips: a car with driver on the standard 8-hour, 80-km basis costs roughly ₹2,500–3,500 in Delhi, which makes sense for a Qutub Minar, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Sultan Ghari and Tughlaqabad loop that no metro line strings together. For Agra, the Gatimaan Express from Hazrat Nizamuddin does Agra Cantt in 100 minutes; for Jaipur, the Ajmer Shatabdi from New Delhi takes about four and a half hours, and both beat driving the Yamuna Expressway or NH-48.

How many nights in New Delhi, and a first-timer itinerary that works

Four nights is the working minimum if the monuments are why you came, because Delhi’s archaeology is spread across three separate clusters 15–20 km apart. Day one is Shahjahanabad: Red Fort, Jama Masjid and the lanes off Chandni Chowk, remembering the Red Fort is closed on Mondays and the main bazaar street is pedestrianised through the day. Day two is Mehrauli, the oldest layer: Qutub Minar and the Iron Pillar, then Mehrauli Archaeological Park for Balban’s tomb, Jamali Kamali and Rajon ki Baoli, with Tughlaqabad’s 1321 ramparts if you still have legs. Day three is the Nizamuddin corridor: Humayun’s Tomb, Sunder Nursery’s 15 monuments across 90 acres, Purana Qila, then Lodhi Gardens and Safdarjung’s Tomb in the late afternoon light.

Add a fifth night for the National Museum on Janpath, Feroz Shah Kotla with its Ashokan pillar, and Agrasen ki Baoli off Hailey Road near Connaught Place. Six or seven nights lets you fold in Agra properly, ideally sleeping there one night so you get the Taj Mahal at sunrise and Fatehpur Sikri without rushing, or Jaipur for Amber Fort and Jantar Mantar. Ten nights covers the full Delhi–Agra–Jaipur triangle with a night at Neemrana, 122 km down NH-48, on the way back. Keep your Delhi hotel booked through the day trips if you can; a second check-in in Karol Bagh or Hauz Khas costs more in time than the two nights of room rate you save.

What hotels actually cost in New Delhi, by standard

Budget in Delhi means ₹700–1,800 a night, which in Paharganj or Mahipalpur buys a small double with an air conditioner of uncertain vintage, a bucket-shower bathroom and a lift that may or may not run. Mid-range is ₹2,500–6,000 and is where Delhi is genuinely good value: at ₹4,000 in Karol Bagh, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash or Hauz Khas you get a proper double, reliable hot water, working air conditioning and usually breakfast. Upper-tier business hotels in Aerocity, Nehru Place, Dwarka and Gurugram sit at ₹8,000–15,000 with pools and airport shuttles. The top end is Chanakyapuri and Lutyens Delhi, ₹18,000–40,000 for the palace hotels, and out at the extreme a Taj-view room in Agra can pass ₹45,000.

Two things move those numbers. GST is added on top and is not always shown in the headline rate: rooms up to ₹7,500 a night sit in a lower slab, anything above ₹7,500 is taxed at 18 per cent, so a ₹7,400 quote and a ₹7,900 quote are closer than they look at the till. The spikes are predictable and worth avoiding: the last week of December, the trade fair fortnight of 14–27 November at Pragati Maidan, the days around Republic Day on 26 January, and the November-to-February wedding season, when banquet-heavy areas like Karol Bagh, Rohini and Greater Kailash sell out and charge for it. Conversely, May, June and August are 30–40 per cent cheaper across every category, including the Chanakyapuri properties that never discount in winter.

Is Hotel Royal inn igi a good hotel?

How many nights do I need in Delhi?
Four nights is the minimum for the main monuments, because Shahjahanabad, Mehrauli and the Nizamuddin corridor are three separate clusters 15–20 km apart and each takes most of a day. Five nights adds the National Museum on Janpath, Feroz Shah Kotla and Agrasen ki Baoli without rushing. Six or seven lets you add Agra with an overnight there, which is the only way to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise and still reach Fatehpur Sikri. For the full Delhi–Agra–Jaipur circuit with a night at Neemrana, plan on ten.
How do I get from Delhi airport to the city centre?
The Airport Express metro is fastest: 22.7 km from Terminal 3 to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes for ₹60, with stops at Delhi Aerocity and Dhaula Kuan. A prepaid taxi from the T3 arrivals counter to Connaught Place costs ₹500–700 and takes 35–50 minutes depending on NH-48 traffic. Ola and Uber pick up from the designated bays and price similarly outside surge hours. If you are staying in Aerocity itself the drive is under 10 minutes, and most hotels there run a free shuttle; Mahipalpur is the same distance on the other side of NH-48 but you will need an auto.
Do I need a car in New Delhi?
No, not for the city itself. The metro covers nearly 390 km with fares of ₹10–60 and reaches Lal Qila, Jor Bagh, Hauz Khas and Qutub Minar stations, with autos at about ₹30 for the first 1.5 km filling the last stretch. A car with driver, at roughly ₹2,500–3,500 for the standard 8 hours and 80 km, is worth it for one day only: the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Sultan Ghari and Tughlaqabad loop that no single metro line connects. For Agra and Jaipur, take the Gatimaan Express or the Ajmer Shatabdi rather than driving.
Is Delhi better for families or for couples, and which areas suit each?
Both work, but the areas differ. Families do best in Vasant Kunj, Dwarka or Saket, where hotels have pools, larger rooms and easy parking, and Saket sits two metro stops from Qutub Minar; expect ₹4,000–9,000. Couples tend to prefer Hauz Khas for the deer park and the ruins beside the reservoir, or Nizamuddin East for the walk to Sunder Nursery and Humayun’s Tomb, at ₹3,000–7,000. Extra beds and cots are widely available but rarely free, usually ₹800–1,500 a night, and Indian hotels often cap occupancy at three per room.
What should I book well in advance in Delhi?
Book your hotel early for the last week of December, the India International Trade Fair fortnight of 14–27 November at Pragati Maidan, and the days around Republic Day on 26 January, when Lutyens Delhi tightens up and central rooms both sell out and spike. Gatimaan Express seats to Agra Cantt and Shatabdi seats to Jaipur open 60 days ahead and the good morning departures go quickly in the October–March season. Taj Mahal tickets are worth buying online in advance, and remember it is closed on Fridays. Red Fort and the National Museum both close on Mondays, so plan the day order around that.
