While the scenes may seem archaic, the shopping is exactly where it's supposed to be so make sure you carry cash (safely tucked about your person).
Travel + Leisure "Located in Old Delhi, this market has only grown in size, scale and legend. Sometimes it feels like every single human being in Delhi is gathered here, mostly for illicit items or outright knock offs." Full review
Afar Magazine "Rickshaw rides are common in Chandni Chowk, but book a comprehensive rickshaw tour for an immersive experience that lasts longer than 15 minutes." Full review
