I'm a regular visitor of Chandni Chowk and I love exploring it. The area has a dual perspective as it has lot of hidden architecture that needs to be explored, and is also great for shopping.
Head To Chandni Chowk For Great Food, Shopping & Some Old Delhi Charm
What Makes It Awesome
What Could Be Better?
As Chandni Chowk is a big market, you need to walk a lot, and this is the only thing that ticked me off.
What's My Pro Tip?
There's no parking around, so take a cab. And if you are going shopping, you will be lost in the lanes the entire day, so carry some munchies and water {or simply pig out at any of the amazing eateries there}. Take care of your valuable items.
Anything Else?
Chandni Chowk has a variety of small markets within it {such as Dariba Kalan} and Dariyaganj is at a distance of about 20 minutes from there. Chandni Chowk is also particularly amazing for its food- you will find everything from the famous Delhi kulfi to chole bhature, jalebi, etc.
