A Weekend in Delhi: The 2-Day Itinerary
Delhi is a compact town, which suits a one-day visit: you can cover a lot without rushing. Below is a morning-to-night plan built from real listings in Delhi, NCT: actual parks, museums, restaurants and venues, plus live events where the calendar cooperates. Follow it in order and the day takes care of itself.

Day 1: the essentials
The first day is about orientation: see the town, eat well, get your bearings. Day two is for lingering.
2005 Delhi Bomb Blasts
2005 Delhi Bomb Blasts is one of those Delhi landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
Ahinsa Sthal
Don't skip Ahinsa Sthal. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Ahir Dham
Ahir Dham is one of those Delhi landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Evenings
Both nights deserve a proper ending. If the calendar cooperates, a live event beats a bar; if not, dinner somewhere lively does the job.
