Must-see Monuments

The city’s most evocative building is Humayun’s Tomb ( humayunstomb .com) in South East Delhi. From here it’s a short distance to Lodi Gardens, whose beautifully manicured grounds are dotted with the 14th-century tombs of the last sultans of Delhi. And if you’re in town on a Thursday night, stop by the 700-year-old Sufi shrine of Nizamuddin Dargah ( nizamuddinaulia.org) for a Qawwali performance.
