New Delhi Insider Tip

Use the Delhi Metro — it's cheap, clean, AC, and covers every major sight. Auto-rickshaws should use meters but usually won't; agree on a price first.

Bengaluru Insider Tip

Bengaluru has India's most vibrant craft beer scene — the city has over 30 microbreweries. The MG Road and Brigade Road area is the nightlife core, but the quieter Indiranagar and Koramangala neighbourhoods have the best restaurants and bars. Lalbagh Botanical Garden (240 acres) hosts a spectacular flower show twice a year (Republic Day and Independence Day) in its Victorian glass house — outside show season, it's the city's most peaceful escape from the traffic.

🇮🇳 New Delhi Fun Fact

Delhi has been continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years and has served as the capital of at least seven consecutive empires, giving it more historical layers than almost any city on Earth.

🇮🇳 Bengaluru Fun Fact

Bengaluru hosts over 40% of India's IT exports, making it responsible for a significant share of the global technology services market. The city is also home to ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) — which put a spacecraft in Mars orbit (Mangalyaan) on its first attempt in 2014 at a cost lower than the production budget of the Hollywood film Gravity. Bengaluru has more pubs per capita than any other Indian city.
