Getting Around Delhi

The Delhi Metro is the most efficient way to travel, with fares ranging from $0.15 to $0.50 per ride. For short distances, use Uber or Ola to avoid overcharging by auto-rickshaws. A taxi from the airport to the city center typically costs $2-$5 depending on the mode.

Practical Travel Tips

Always use the Delhi Metro's dedicated women-only coach for increased comfort.

Download Uber or Ola to book transport instead of hailing street rickshaws to avoid common overcharging.

For solo female travelers, ensure you have a local SIM card with active data to stay connected to maps and transport apps.

Keep your shoulders and knees covered when visiting religious sites like Akshardham or Jama Masjid.

Use the toll-free safety helpline 8750871111 for any assistance needed by foreign nationals.

Buy a DMRC smart card for seamless, cash-free travel across the entire metro network.

Plugs in India generally use Type C, D, or M; carry a universal travel adapter.

Consider visiting related cities like /ai-trip-planner/mumbai or /ai-trip-planner/bangalore if your trip to India continues.
