Your next tropical vacation is about to get a lot more affordable.
Destination of the Day
Delhi, India
Delhi, the capital city of India, strikingly evokes the ancient past while at the same time showcasing India's modern future. The city is dotted with spellbinding mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied Delhi. The contrast between Old Delhi and New Delhi is immense, and it's interesting to spend time exploring both, from Red Fort to Connaught Place. A minimum of two days is required to cover the city, although you could easily spend a week there and not run out of things to do. When you get hungry, the best street food in the city can be found in Old Delhi around Chandni Chowk. Rich, meat-dominated Mughlai and Punjabi cuisines are most prevalent, though you'll find vegetarian dishes as well. When looking for a place to stay, you'll find that Delhi has a wide range of accommodations to suit all budgets. Backpackers usually head to the Paharganj district near New Delhi Railway Station. However, Connaught Place and Karol Bagh are convenient central city locations, while South Delhi is a residential area that's more peaceful.
Your Packing List
For sightseeing during the day, it's a good idea to carry a daypack, or other sturdy bag that can't be easily opened or accessed by pickpockets. Make sure it's big enough to fit all your essentials, including water.
Bring a sturdy and comfortable pair of sneakers or sandals. If you're planning on wearing sandals throughout the trip, you should still pack a few pairs of socks, as shoes must be removed when entering temples and other places of worship.
Due to smog, it's recommended that you wear a suitable anti-pollution mask on the days that air quality is deemed unsafe, or if you have respiratory issues such as asthma or bronchitis.
Designed by American architect Bruce Price, the Chateau Frontenac is Quebec City's most famous landmark and one of the most photographed hotels in North America. This chateau-style hotel was built in 1893 as part of a development project by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, with the goal of promoting luxury tourism in the city. Today, the hotel is recognized as a National Historic Site; to make your Quebec City trip even more special, book a room: a standard one night stay will run you $200.
