Tip 3 Stay safe

However, this doesn't mean you should go out in the dark, to the places that you have no idea about - let someone from your service apartment help you get familiar with the city. Keep the police number with you - and if you sense any danger, run away and call the police.

The locals are warm and welcoming - when in the city, make sure you taste the delicious local Delhi food.
