Where to Stay in Delhi with Family on a Budget
If you’re looking for budget-friendly areas in Delhi for family stays, here’s a breakdown of the most suitable neighborhoods—balancing affordability, comfort, access, and safety:
1. Paharganj
- Pros: One of the cheapest places to stay, close to New Delhi Railway Station and Connaught Place.
- Cons: Safety issues—higher risk of scams, petty crime, and not ideal for families with children. Several travelers and guides caution strongly against staying here with kids. But we stayed in Paharganj for one of our trips as I wanted to explore the iconic restaurants of Paharganj, and we didn’t face any issue.
2. Karol Bagh
- Pros: Affordable to mid-range hotels, excellent shopping, well connected by metro, lively but less chaotic than Paharganj. Suited for families seeking convenience and local culture. Average budget ~₹1,500–₹4,000.
3. Saket
- Pros: Located in South Delhi, offers a quieter, greener, and more modern environment. Close to malls, cultural venues, and budget lodging like Red Maple B&B.
- Cons: Slightly pricier compared to Karol Bagh, but still reasonable.
4. Lajpat Nagar
- Pros: Residential, vibrant but safe. Excellent market, mid-range guesthouses, good connectivity. A more authentic, local feel.
5. Mahipalpur
- Pros: Close to the airport—great for early/late arrivals, budget hotels with modern amenities. Convenient for families with transit in mind.
- Cons: A little far from central attractions—may require more commute.

Red Fort
Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, is a historic fort in the heart of Old Delhi. It is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been a symbol of power and grandeur for centuries.
Built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (who also built the Taj Mahal) in the 17th century, the Red Fort has served as a residence for Mughal emperors for almost 200 years. Today, it stands as a testament to India’s rich cultural heritage and is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Delhi.
The Red Fort is made of red sandstone and is a marvel of Mughal architecture. The fort is surrounded by high walls and is entered through the imposing Lahore Gate, which is adorned with intricate carvings and beautiful calligraphy. As you enter the fort, you are transported back in time to the grandeur of the Mughal era.


The fort complex is spread over a vast area and includes several buildings, courtyards, and gardens, typical of Mughal architecture. It took me half a day to explore just the Red Fort Complex.


Red Fort Visiting Time and Entry Fee
| Visiting Time | Nearest Metro | Entry Fee |
| 9:30 am-4:30 pm | Lal Qila [Violet Line] | Indian: Rs. 35 Foreign: Rs. 550 Separate Charges for Museum Visit |
| Closed on Mondays | Estimated Time Required | |
| 2-3 Hours |
Ashley’s Tip for Delhi Family Travel: I would suggest you carry an umbrella, hats, sunscreen, and bottled water as there will be a lot of walking involved in exploring the Red Fort. If you are visiting the Red Fort with young kids, plan to take breaks btween each heritage building in the complex to avoid getting exhausted with all the walking.
Qutub Minar

Qutub Minar is another tourist attraction in Delhi with historical significance. This ancient tower or minaret, located in the southern part of the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India.
The tower was built in the early 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi. The construction of the tower took several decades and was finally completed by his successor, Iltutmish. The tower is made of red and grey sandstones is adorned with intricate carvings.
At over 72 meters high, Qutub Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world! It is a beautiful example of Indo-Islamic architecture and is surrounded by several other important historical monuments. One unique attraction I would like to mention is the Iron Pillar of Delhi, which is believed to have been built in the 4th century AD.
The tower has five distinct stories, each separated by a balcony. The first three stories are made of red sandstone and the top two stories are made of marble. The tower is decorated with intricate carvings and inscriptions from the Quran, making it a beautiful example of Islamic art.

Qutub Minar Visiting Time and Entry Fee
| Visiting Time | Nearest Metro | Entry Fee | Estimated Time Required |
| 7:00 am-5:00 pm | Saket [Yellow Line] | India: Rs. 35 Foreign: Rs. 550 | 1-2 Hours |
Ashley’s Tip for Delhi Family Travel: Visit Qutub Minar both during the day and at night. During the day, you can better appreciate its architecture and nuances and at night, when the Qutub inar is lit up, it creates a mesmerizing sight.
Humayun’s Tomb

Humayun’s Tomb is one of the most iconic landmarks of Delhi and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the heart of the city, this beautiful monument is a splendid example of Mughal architecture and is considered one of the finest tombs in India.
The tomb was built in the 16th century by the Mughal emperor Humayun’s wife, Bega Begum, after his death. It was designed by the Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, who combined elements of Persian and Indian architecture to create a unique monument.
The tomb is made of red sandstone and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and water channels. The complex also features several other important structures, including a mosque, a bath, and several other tombs.
Of all the Mughal tombs and monuments in Delhi, Humayun’s Tomb was my favorite. It’s grandeur was beyond anything I saw and I heard a tour guide say that it was this monument that inspired Shah Jahan to built Taj Mahal in Agra.


Humayun’s Tomb Visiting Time and Entry Fee
| Visiting Time | Nearest Metro | Entry Fee | Estimated Time Required |
| 6:00 am-6:00 pm | JLN Stadium [Violet Line] | India: Rs. 35 Foreign: Rs. 550 | 1-2 Hours |
Ashley’s Tip: There will be a lot of walking to explore Humayun’s Tomb and all the other monuments in the complex. It is best to visit in the evening if you are not too keen about the photos. If visiting during the forenoon or afternoon time, carry umbrellas, sunglasses, and plenty of water. We (my husband, son, and I) were there in the afternoon in late March. It was hot and sunny, and we where exhausted by the time we finished exploring the entire complex.
India Gate

One of the most important places to visit in Delhi is India Gate, a war memorial that was built to honor the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
The monument was designed by the British architect Edwin Lutyens and was completed in 1931. It is made of red sandstone and stands at an impressive height of 42 meters. The arch-shaped structure is adorned with beautiful carvings and features the names of over 13,000 soldiers inscribed on its walls.
Following the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, a structure consisting of black marble and four eternal flames was established at the heart of India Gate. This structure, now called Amar Jawan Jyoti (Flame of the Immortal Soldier) serves as the tomb of the Indian soldiers and martyrs.
A key event that takes place at India Gate is the annual Republic Day parade. The parade, which takes place on January 26th, is a grand celebration of India’s rich cultural heritage and is attended by thousands of people from all over the country.

Lotus Temple

The Lotus Temple, also known as the Bahai House of Worship, is one of the most unique and iconic landmarks of Delhi. The temple is a place of worship for people of all religions and has become a symbol of unity and diversity in India.
Lotus Temple was completed in 1986 and was designed by Iranian architect Fariborz Sahba. It is made of white marble and is surrounded by beautiful gardens.
The most striking feature of the Lotus Temple is its shape, which is designed to resemble a lotus flower. The temple has 27 petals that are arranged in three rows and are made of marble. The petals are arranged in such a way that they allow natural light to enter the temple, creating a magnificent visual effect.
The temple’s interior is equally impressive, with a large central hall. The hall is completely empty and is used for silent meditation and prayer. The temple’s design is intended to create a sense of unity and harmony among people of all religions and backgrounds.

Ashley’s Tip: Safdarjung Tomb is right across the street from Lodhi Garden. You can just walk to the point.
Jama Masjid

Jama Masjid is one of the most iconic and impressive mosques in India, located in the heart of Old Delhi.
The mosque was built in the mid-17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is an excellent example of Mughal architecture, featuring beautiful arches, domes, and intricate decorations.
The best part of Jama Masjid is that it is open to everyone. You can visit Jama Masjid, Delhi irrespective of your religion.
You are required to dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering. You can deposit your shoes at a counter by the stairs for a nominal charge for their safekeeping.
Nearest Metro Station: Jama Masjid (Violet Line)
Ashley’s Tip: The street right outside Gate 1 of Jama Masjid is a famous food street. You can get some of the best Mughlai dishes and local snacks here.


Gurudwara Shri Bangla Sahib

Shri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara is one of the most iconic and significant religious sites in Delhi. It is a Sikh temple located in the heart of the city, near Connaught Place. The Gurudwara was originally built as a small temple by Raja Jai Singh in the 17th century, and has since been expanded and renovated several times.
The Gurudwara is known for its splendid architecture, with a large golden dome that can be seen from afar. Here you will find the temple surrounded by a large sarovar (pool) which is believed to have healing properties. The Gurudwara is open to people of all religions and backgrounds, and you are welcome to take part in the daily prayer and worship services.

Nearest Metro Station: Patel Chowk (Yellow Line)
Ashley’s Tip: You are required to cover your head inside the Gurudwara. Once you get to the stairs to the Gurudwara, you will find large baskets with kerchiefs that you can use for free.

Purana Qila
Purana Qila, also known as Old Fort, is a historic site located in Delhi, India. The fort was originally built by the Mughal emperor Humayun in the 16th century and has since been expanded and renovated by various rulers over the years.
The fort is spread over an area of 2 km and is surrounded by a moat on three sides. It is made of red sandstone and has three main entrances, each of which is decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures. The fort also features a number of beautiful gardens and water bodies, making it a popular destination for picnics and leisurely walks.
An interesting feature of the fort is the Archaeological Museum, which is located within the fort complex. The museum features a large collection of artifacts and exhibits related to the history and culture of Delhi and the surrounding region. Some of the highlights of the museum include pottery, sculptures, and coins from ancient times, as well as exhibits on the Mughal period and the Delhi Sultanate.
Ashley’s Tip: While visiting Purana Qila, do check out National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy, a handicraft museum just 1 km from the Qila. You can learn and experience the traditional handicraft from all over India here.
Agrasen Ki Baoli
Agrasen Ki Baoli is a historic stepwell located in the heart of Delhi, India. It is believed to have been built in the 14th century by the legendary king Agrasen, who is considered a symbol of prosperity and generosity in Indian mythology.
The stepwell is made of red sandstone and features a series of steps leading down to a deep well. It is a beautiful example of ancient Indian engineering and architecture and is considered one of the most impressive stepwells in the country.
In addition to its impressive engineering, the Agrasen Ki Baoli is also steeped in history and legend. According to local folklore, the stepwell was once haunted by spirits, and was only exorcised after a group of holy men performed a sacred ritual at the site.
Ashley’s Tip: Agrasen Ki Baoli is quite close to Connaught Place making it accessible. But if you are visiting Purana Qila, you can see a similar stepwell there and you can skip Agrasen Ki Baoli.
