Tomb of Safdarjang

This monument was described as the ‘last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture’. It was built in 1754 for statesman Safdarjung. The huge structure is surrounded by beautiful gardens of the Mughal charbagh style. You’ll be certainly surprised with the silent environment here even though it is right next to the busy Lodi Road.

Closest metro station- Jor bagh (Yellow line)

Tip- If you have a partner, the gardens are the place to get all cuddly!

Purana Qila and National Zoological Park

When you visit Purana Qila, don’t forget to walk upto the National Zoological Park or Delhi Zoo. It is spread over an area of 176-acre and is very (read veryyyy) crowded on weekends. If you like long walks this place is perfect for it. Walk around enjoying the funny activities of hippos and the hysterical laughs of the hyaenas. You can also rent a battery-operated vehicle at the zoo to take a tour.

Closest metro station- Pragati Maidan (Blue Line)

Tip- If someone wakes up the lion from his slumber, enjoy the thunderous ‘Rawwwwr’.

Agrasen ki Baoli

Baoli which means stepwell was constructed in order to preserve water in ancient times. What is special about this baoli is that it is situated right in the heart of the city, surrounded by tall buildings of Connaught Place. In the crowd you might spot poets and artists working their magic on paper thanks to the awesomeness of the location.

Closest metro station- Rajiv Chowk (Yellow Line)

Trivia- This place is said to be one of the most haunted places of India!

Hauz Khas Village and Deer Park

Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri shout out some drunken dialogues in the Hauz Khas Fort in their movie Rockstar! The Fort overlooks a beautiful lake where you can feed adorable ducks and swans. To reach the lake, take a walk through the deer park and admire the spotted animals. While you are on the go you will come across boards which will guide you to perform fitness exercises, if you are the playful type I suggest you to follow them on the way, it makes the walk absolutely fun-tastic.

The ‘Village’ offers great restaurants, dive bars, clubs, and shopping boutiques. After you enjoy your calm moments at the fort you can head out to one of the popular bars and enjoy a good drink. Hauz Khas Village is for sure a mix of everything nice huh?

Closest metro station- Green Park (Yellow Line)

Tip- Take loads of photographs; this place makes everyone more photogenic. *chuckles*
