New Delhi, the capital of the Country, India, where a empire rose and fell before the dawn of history, where citadels of emperors appeared and disappeared, a city of mysterious eternity whose old ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever flowing life of India. The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi. The myriad faces of the city are simply fascinating. In some places it remains a garden city, tree lined and with beautiful parks, but in some places it can also be crowded with heavy traffic. Turbaned Sikhs, colourfully dressed Rajasthani and Gujarati women working in offices, Muslim shopkeepers along Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, Tibetans and Ladakhis in the street stalls along Janpath and Kashmiris in the handicraft emporia around Connaught Place, all add to the cosmopolitan feel of the city. Soaring skyscrapers, posh residential colonies and bustling commercial complexes can be seen along with the ancient historical monuments. Its boutiques and shopping arcades offer access to a wealth of traditional and contemporary crafts, from all over the country. Old Delhi which looks entirely different from New Delhi area, is about 6 Kms north of the city center.
During your stay at The Residence New Delhi, some of the places to visit are Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Purana Quila, Jantar Mantar, Humayun's Tomb, Jama Masjid, Safdarjung's Tomb, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Rajghat, Lakshmi Narayan Mandir.
