 New Delhi
The British built capital of India. Characterized by wide boulevards, roundabouts (traffic circles), colonial mansions, and government buildings dotted with monuments from various parts of India's history. Connaught Place (now called Rajiv Chowk) and Khan Market are popular shopping centres, and the nearby Paharganj area has many inexpensive hotels. New Delhi Railway Station and Nizamuddin Railway Stations for trains to the south and east are here. Metro lines radiate out from here, so the area is well connected.
 Central Delhi
Contains the historic core of Delhi, also known as Old Delhi. Major tourist attractions such as the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid are located here. Delhi Junction railway station is here. The red metro line runs east-west here, and the yellow line runs north-south.
 South Delhi
Contains a number of upmarket neighbourhoods, many hotels and guest houses, shopping malls and markets, and restaurants. Major attractions include the Qutub Minar. The area is served by the yellow metro line.
 South East Delhi
Generally a high-income district similar to South Delhi. In addition, the current district borders of South East Delhi include a number of important sites near the city center, such as Humayun's Tomb, Purana Qila, and the southeast part of planned city of New Delhi. The area is served by the purple metro line.
 Western Delhi
Four western districts - North, North-West, West, South-West. Of little interest to the tourist.
 Eastern Delhi
The three districts - East, North East, and Shahdara - which are located east of the Yamuna River. Of little interest to the tourist.
