Delhi is the city with its own character and during the first visit to this city there is no chance to be left indifferent: you either fall in love with it at first sight or start to get irritated with every corner, every building in city and try to escape as soon as it's only possible. So the first impression is very important, as this is the very factor that will influence the further relations between you and Delhi. From one hand, this city can frighten with its crowds and never ending noise and busy life, and from the other hand it can easily captivate with its fantastically beautiful architecture and landscapes. New Delhi is the capital India; so it's no wonder that many tourists make their opinion of the country, basing on what they saw in Delhi.
