Tired of going to the same overpriced cafes every weekend? We’ve got you covered. Here are 7 places in Delhi you can visit this weekend without burning a hole in your pocket!
Sunder Nursery, located right opposite Humayun’s Tomb, is a perfect spot for a relaxed weekend outing. Bring your own food and beverages, and enjoy a picnic amidst beautifully landscaped gardens!
Several art galleries in Delhi offer free entry or charge a minimal entry fee. Dhoomimal Art Gallery in Connaught Place and the National Gallery of Modern Art are our recommendations!
Chandni Chowk has been around for about three centuries and is great if you’re in the mood to shop, or if you want to go for a food walk. Visit the nearby Chawri Bazar to continue the food walk or take a detour and go to the Red Fort or Ghalib Ki Haveli if history fascinates you!
There are plenty of film screenings happening in and around Delhi on weekends. Many of these screenings offer free entry, especially at places like India Habitat Centre and the ML Bhartia Auditorium in Lodhi Estate, which also host film festivals!
Whether it's a late-night ice cream after a drive or a morning cycling session, India Gate is an iconic spot in Central Delhi for an affordable and quintessentially Delhi outing!
Andhra Bhawan for their delectable Biryani, or the Kerala Bhawan for their Thali- the state bhawans in Delhi provide near authentic delicacies without breaking the bank. Just be sure to check their schedules before you go!
If you love reading, join a book club! Delhi Book Club and Lodhi Reads regularly organise meet-ups over the weekend where you can engage in discussions and share your love for literature. Most of these clubs are free or charge a minimal fee.
