One of our favorite ways to explore new cities is to pick a neighborhood and take ourselves on a walking tour. With 50+ vibrant murals adorning residential buildings and walkable streets dotted with old-growth trees, Lodhi Art District in New Delhi, India is the perfect area to spend an afternoon doing just that. We rounded up our favorite street art from the neighborhood below, in hopes to convince you to position Lodhi Colony high on your New Delhi bucket list.
Getting there: There isn’t a perfectly designed route to follow when exploring Lodhi Art District, but most of the murals are located near Meherchand Market making it a good starting point. Here is a map of all the murals and their locations. We broke for lunch at Guppy, a fun and quirky neighborhood restaurant with amazing sushi and service, and highly recommend you do the same.
There is something to be said about the cultural experience that can be achieved from taking in a new place by foot, without a real plan – and that something is pretty magical.
