Imagined seventeenth-century Shahjahanabad market, Mughal-era red sandstone gateways and textile stalls, dignified everyday street life.
Imagined seventeenth-century Shahjahanabad market, Mughal-era red sandstone gateways and textile stalls, dignified everyday street life. · AI illustration

387 years from 1639 CE to 2026 · Shahjahanabad foundation milestone. This is a reference milestone, not the first human presence.

Shah Jahan established Shahjahanabad in 1639, one of several historic cities within today's Delhi. Its walls, markets and Mughal architecture form a later layer in a region with a much older history. This age refers only to Shahjahanabad.

A walk through Old Delhi connects markets and public life with the seventeenth-century walled city.

Hop-on, hop-off bus tours

We haven’t confirmed a current hop-on, hop-off bus service for Delhi. This does not mean none exists.

Before you book: timing, access & value
  • Check the nearest stop, first and last departures, frequency and full-loop time.
  • Check whether the ticket lasts a calendar day or a number of hours, and which routes it includes.
  • Ask about step-free boarding, wheelchair spaces, stroller storage, seating and audio languages.
  • Compare the fare with local public transport. A sightseeing ticket is not automatically a transit pass.

  • Ask for language assistance. If your call does not connect, ask hotel, station or event staff to help you call.
  • Save your accommodation address, travel insurer and your own embassy’s contact details offline. For a lost passport, contact your consulate; for immediate danger, call emergency services first.
  • Agree on a meeting point with children. Keep communication or mobility needs and essential health information available to helpers.
