Help me with spend a day in New Delhi. I like architecture, culture, and am a foodie
North India has a lot to offer for an aesthete, epicure, and a xenophile. Day 1 arrive in Delhi as many flights arrive early in the morning, settle into a hotel of your choice. Today travel around Delhi especially old Delhi and start your trip by visiting Red Fort which is an historical Mogul Fort commissioned by Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan in 1638. The fort is steeped in history and has a beautiful combination of Persian architecture with Indian influence. After that have lunch in Chandi Chowk where you will find incredible street food and especially Karim's which specializes in Mughlai food. Chandi Chowk is full of verve and energy and you will experience a slice of Indian culture. After the delicious lunch and walking through the narrow streets of Chandi Chowk, it is time to visit Qutb Minar a Unesco World Heritage Site which is considered the tallest minaret in the world at 240 ft constructed out of sandstone in 1192. Close by you can also visit Jamal Kalami mosque and relax at the nearby 200 acre park. In the evening you can travel to visit the Lotus Temple in Delhi which is a Baháʼí House of Worship and architected by Fariborz Sahba in 1976. For dinner, it is time to indulge yourself at Oberoi Delhi at Dhilli under the mentorship of Michelin-starred Chef Vineet Bhatia MBE and finish your night at the rooftop bar Cirrus 9 with a smooth cocktail.
