When in Delhi, you can´t miss the underground bazaar at The Cannaught Place. Travel by metro to "Cannaught Place" station, as easy as that! Lots and lots of everything, from jewellery to home electronics to perfumes to counterfeit computer software...

Very crowded. Be aware of pick pockets. They are every where. Try to avoid beggars. Sometimes, they are very annoying.

i live in delhi so i can pretty much be very confident about the place...
theres no point explaining stuff thats easy enough to know from any website...
a few unknown sites  once youre done with the usual sights, make it a point to check out these lesser known gems
~hauz khas madarsa- if you liked lodhi gardens (which you would), this place is right up your alley. a hep market leads you to the ruins of madarsa which stand by the side of a medieval tank, in the midst of a lush park... romantic enough... ~crafts museum- this is an amazing place... well designed... nice galleries, a great souvenir shop... nice way to spend half a day ~dont just stare at chandni chowk and leave. take a walk through. you wont be mortally dangered in any way. but you'll have an experience to remember.and you can have great bargains and food on the way. ~near connaught place, on hailey road, is a stepwell by the name of agrasen ki baoli. contrast galore, as standing at the top of the ancient steps, you can get a view of both, the historic stepwell and the modern skyscrapers of cp... and its probably the coolest (climatically) spot in the city centre
let downs- ~personally, red fort is somewhat disappointing. for all its hype, red fort is pretty... well, normal. it is impressive, but not enough. there are better forts in the country. ~paranthe wali gali- you can get better and cheaper paranthas at the newer and swankier parantha joints like not just paranthas, without having to heave yourself to chandni chowk. ~akshardham- plastic. it all seems like a huge publicity stunt. you dont feel any sacredness whatsoever. more like bhaktiland-the disneyland of faith. the food court is decent though.
on the mark ~humayun's tomb, lodhi gardens, safdarjung's tomb, mehrauli- all are monuments that will definitely awe you. ~lutyens' delhi- a drive through and you'll know exactly why this is the country's most expensive piece of real estate ~big chill-desserts are not overhyped at all... id call it underhyped... head here for gastronomic orgasm

Best bet is to walk away and they will soon drop the price. Failing that, you’ll find almost all the same stuff in a million other places, so don’t buy at the first place you see it. Just get a feel for the price! As an example, I was quoted 3500R for a bed spread – I ended up paying 800R! This shows you the level to which prices are inflated.

If you want to be able to keep in touch with home then buy a local SIM card for your mobile phone (make sure you're phone is unlocked). Texting is very cheap and if you buy an international SIM then making calls is very reasonable too. Getting a SIM card is easy and inexpensive. Be prepared to give a photocopy of your passport plus possibly a passport photo (some places will take a digital one for you) as this is required for the registration process.

New Delhi being capital city only the government areas are kept neat n tidy. The city is highly polluted with dirty sewage running through the streets and pick pocters everywhere. Its a good place for shopping and to revisit history. For amazing punjabi food and mouth watering dhabbas delhi is the best!

For authentic craft and souvenir shopping, visit the Dilli Haat market in central Delhi. A well organised market with access and trader controls which means less hassle and higher standards of goods for sale.
