People who are taking flights to Delhi this year should make sure they spend a few days wandering around the city's streets before moving on to visit other areas in India, it has been recommended.

Travel journalist Stephen McClarence described Delhi as a city with "real urban glamour" in an article for the Daily Telegraph and urged tourists visiting the city to take time to explore and not just see the usual holidaymaker hotspots.

Among his suggestions of must-see sights are the Red Fort and neighbouring Jama Masjid mosque in Old Delhi.

Mr McClarence advised travellers to begin with the unmissable monuments and then "explore the teeming life of Chandni Chowk, the Oxford Street of the Orient".

He added that visitors can work their way between the colourful spice market and wedding bazaar if they wander through the district's alleys and passages.

Delhi is expected to attract a large number of tourists later this year, when it plays host to the Commonwealth Games, which will take place from October 3rd to 14th at venues around the city.
