India 's capital city, Delhi is the second most widely used entry point in the country, being on the route of most major airlines. It is well linked by rail, air and road to all parts of the country. The remains of seven distinctive capital cities - among them Shahjahanabad and Qutab Minar - can be seen. Here, museums, art galleries and cultural centers attract the finest exhibitions and performances from India and Abroad. Shopping encompasses virtually everything that can be bought in the country. Hotels range from the deluxe to the more modest. Most fascinating of all is the character of Delhi which varies from 13th century mausolea of the Lodi kings set in sprawling park to ultra modern chrome and glass skyscrapers; and from imperial India 's Parliament House and the President's Palace to the never ending bustle of the walled city surrounding Jama Masjid. Delhi also makes the ideal base for a series of short excursions to neighboring places, all connected by road.,
