The 10 Best Free Things to do in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Rajpath runs from Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) through Vijay Chowk to India Gate, around 3km long. The place is the Political Power Centre where President of India residence & office , Prime Minister Office, North & South Block, Parliament House and most of the other Ministries has offices. You can not travel the whole length by car. The best way is to walk in the evening. Start from India Gate before sunset and end at Raisina Hill (President Houseand) end after dark with the view of Historic Building illuminated with colourful LED lights. On the way one can have snacks, Ice Creams, Soft Drinks etc., one can enjoy boating in the canals along the road, relax in parks on both side of Rajpath. The Republic Day Ceremony is held here on 26th January every year, the event is must watch for everyone if in New Delhi at that time. One must visit National War Memorial, India Gate and Amar Jawan Jyoti before sunset. Its a sense of national pride once you are here.

The museum is actually the residence of the Ex prime minister Indira Gandhi and offers a sneak preview not only into the life and times of one of the most powerful PM's of India . Its also a rare opportunity to actually see the residence of the PM . One would tend to think that being the PM Indira Gandhi would have a grand lifestyle . The actual truth may come as a shock to you as to how simply she lived . Its an inspiration to all of us who go overboard trying to show off . The museum also houses Rajiv Gandhi related exhibits . You can see the blood splattered sari of Mrs Gandhi in which she was murdered as well as the splatters dress of Rajiv Gandhi when he was blown up . The entry is free and there is ample free parking . There is also a small souvenir shop and they have a range of very competitively priced memorabilia.There is much more to be seen and if you are in Delhi this is must visit .
8. Hauz Khas Village
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,594 reviews
Hauz Khas village was known in the medieval period for the amazing buildings built around a reservoir and drew a large congregation of Islamic scholars and students to the Madrasa for Islamic education. Today, some of India's most prestigious institutes are situated in the neighborhood, including the Indian Institute of Technology, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The village itself retains its old-world charm, enhanced by well-manicured green parks planted with ornamental trees all around with walk ways, and surrounded by gentrified market and residential complexes which have sprung up around the old village. The reservoir itself has been reduced in size and well landscaped with water fountains. The village structure that existed in the medieval period was modernized in mid-1980s, projecting a quiet, upscale identity that attracts tourists from all parts of the world.

Akshardham temple is a must visit on tour to Delhi. It is built with much grandiose on the banks of river Yamuna and is a unique experience in itself both spiritually and culturally. The breathtaking architecture and sculpture, the wonderful musical water fountain and sound and light show are a must watch for the sheer brilliance with which they have been imagined, designed and built. And, the entry to the venue is very systematically orgagnised. Overall, an amazing experience.
