Top tips for Chicago to Delhi
Eat sumptuous street food
Chicago may be all about its food halls, but the street food in Delhi is nothing short of legendary. Head to the Chandni Chowk district in Old Delhi, flanked by the legendary Red Fort, for a selection of delicious dishes.
Tuck into golgappe, similar to pani-puri (fried puffed dough filled with chickpeas and spicy potatoes), parathas (filled fried breads) and sizzling kebabs.
Travel through time
Though designed by an Indian architect, Chicago’s own Cloud Gate is far from the historic buildings you’ll find when you visit Delhi.
A culmination of empires spanning ages, Delhi’s architecture incorporates grand designs with terracotta stylings and ornate detail, from tall domes to scalloped window frames. Stand in awe of Akshardham Temple, Jama Masjid Mosque and Humayun’s Tomb.
