Delhi's metro network (390 km, 9 lines) is the fastest, cheapest, and most comfortable way to move around the city. Runs 5:30 am–11:30 pm. Buy a Tourist Card (1-day: INR 200, 3-day: INR 500) at any station for unlimited rides. Yellow Line is the main north-south spine; Blue Line connects major monuments. Women-only coaches are the first and last carriages on every train.
Ola and Uber operate extensively and are the most convenient option for point-to-point travel, especially from airports and stations late at night. Rapido offers bike taxis for short hops in congested areas.
Insist on the meter or agree a fare before boarding. Prepaid auto counters at all major railway stations charge fixed rates. Cycle-rickshaws are ideal for the narrow lanes of Old Delhi.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (IATA: DEL) is 16 km southwest of Connaught Place. The Airport Express Metro (orange line) connects T3 to New Delhi station in 20 minutes (INR 60). Official taxis take 30–60 minutes to central Delhi and cost INR 400–700.
Delhi has five major stations — New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Old Delhi, Anand Vihar, and Sarai Rohilla. Most tourist trains use New Delhi or Nizamuddin. Book through IRCTC well in advance for best availability and pricing.
