You step out of an air‑conditioned car into a lane that breathes spice and history. Narrow streets press in on both sides; a rickshaw threads through turmeric stalls while vendors call out for silk and silver. The guide folds maps into stories—where Mughal-era jewelers worked, where scent merchants have traded oils for generations—and steers you toward the best stalls.

Carry small-denomination cash
Many stalls prefer cash and it's easier to negotiate with small bills; keep higher-value notes secure.
Wear supportive shoes
Pavements and alleyways are uneven—closed‑toe, grippy shoes make long market days more comfortable.
Avoid midday heat
Schedule Old Delhi in the cooler morning hours; save Khan Market or indoor stops for the hotter afternoons.
