Old Delhi is characterized by its magnificent edifices from the Mughal era, especially the awe-inspiring Red Fort and the imposing Jama Masjid, both constructed by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Located in the vicinity of the colorful, crowded Chandni Chowk market, its narrow alleys with their amazing variety of wares, best explored in a cycle rickshaw, they are majestic reminders of the grandeur of the Mughal empire.
