Getting around

Daily life in Delhi is shaped by office districts, universities, and long-established neighbourhoods with strong local identities. You will notice busy mornings, relaxed evenings in parks and markets, and a calendar filled with cultural events, exhibitions, and performances across the city.

Where to unwind
For quieter moments, you can retreat to green spaces such as Lodhi Gardens or the landscaped grounds around Humayun's Tomb. Early mornings and late afternoons are pleasant times to walk, sit on the lawns, or enjoy a calm break from the streets before or after a day of sightseeing.

Best time to visit Delhi

Winter season (November to February, shoulder season)
Delhi's winter brings cooler, drier weather, with average temperatures around 10–20°C (50–68°F). Clear days are comfortable for sightseeing, outdoor walks, and exploring markets, and lighter layers are usually enough during the day, with a jacket needed after sunset.

Summer season (April to June, low season)
Summer is warm to hot, with average temperatures typically between 30–40°C (86–104°F). Afternoons can feel intense, but mornings and evenings still allow for sightseeing, shopping, and indoor activities in museums and malls, especially if you plan your day around cooler times.

Monsoon and post-monsoon (July to October, peak season)
The monsoon and following months bring short showers, higher humidity, and temperatures around 25–32°C (77–90°F). The rain can refresh the air and parks look greener, while the later monsoon months are popular for travel thanks to pleasant evenings and a lively city atmosphere.
