About this place
Central Delhi comprises a compelling mix of eras, blending the backpacker hubs of Paharganj and Karol Bagh with the medieval city of Ferozabad and the early British-era Civil Lines. Paharganj, just west of New Delhi station, is a lively, central area packed with budget hotels, shops, and eateries, while Karol Bagh offers a quieter alternative. The historical area of Ferozabad, founded in 1354 by Feroz Shah Tughlaq, contains Sultanate-era gateways, hunting lodges, step-wells, and two Ashokan Pillars. Civil Lines showcases colonial architecture, including war memorials and churches. Together, these neighborhoods provide a vibrant base for exploring the capital’s layered history and modern energy.
