But once you’ve broken through this initial barrier, you begin to see Old Delhi for what it is – an engaging picture of contemporary life set in the most fascinating of urban landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOld Delhi: 10 Easy Walks makes it easy for the traveler to navigate the streets and by-lanes of even the most tucked-away parts of the city. Going far beyond the bounds of a conventional guidebook, authors Gaynor Barton and Laurraine Malone provide useful information on getting to Old Delhi itself as well as moving around within it, with individual maps for each walk and historical notes on the landmarks you pass en route. This book walks the reader safely through Old Delhi as never before. Popular sites such as the Jama Masjid and the Red Fort have their own individual walks but so does the Lothian Road in the Civil Lines, and the bead shop heaven of Sitaram Bazaar in the southwest of the city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor regular visitors to the old city, Old Delhi: 10 Easy Walks is a useful resource, but for the wide-eyed traveler who is braving the unfamiliar streets for the first time, this is an unputdownable godsend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of this book is to encourage more people to explore Old Delhi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn one's first visit Old Delhi is a bewildering place, with its crowded pavements, fragile rickshaws and noisy buzz of people and traffic.
