Delhi is a huge metropolitan city which is the best out of all the other metropolises in India.

Its pros are wide roads, a good variety of food and a vibrant nightlife. Plus the metro rail ensures good connectivity to the NCR regions of Gurugram and Noida. It also has lots of historical monuments and temples which one can visit.

Its cons are pollution (it’s the most polluted metropolis of India), traffic (it gets really difficult to move around during weddings and festive seasons), crime rate is still pretty high (that is due to high population of 32 million compared to all of Australia’s 25 million or Canada’s 38 million).

Residence location – Select a location that is closest to your workplace. Traffic during peak hours is horrendous and must be avoided. If you can’t find a suitable location nearest to your workplace, then look for a location that will be opposite to the peak hour rush.

Metro Access – Select your residence and work location where Metro is easily accessible.

Food – Delhi has various options to tickle your taste buds. But if you like Indian street food, you should definitely visit Old Delhi.

Language – The majority of people speak English and Hindi. But you might see many people talking in their native languages such as Haryanvi, Punjabi, and others.

Safety – According to my perspective, Delhi is worse than the rest of the country. If you plan ahead of time you’ll save yourself a lot of risks and have a trouble-free life.

Travel/Connectivity – If you are a wanderlust person, Delhi is blessed. You can visit Rajasthan in the West or Himalayas in North just in 6 hours travel. Plus Delhi has a excellent connectivity with others country too.

Consular Access – As Delhi is the capital of India. All countries that have diplomatic relations with India have their presence in Delhi. So, if you are a foreigner and you miss your home culture. You will benefit from this proximity.

One of the biggest pros is one can have wonderful career opportunities here. And the worst thing about this city is Traffic and the pollution because of that traffic. And to add more Delhi is a hub for career oriented people.

It is polluted and dense. Crime rate is high. It is a city of varying economic diversity, and despite the negatives it has a cultural heritage being one of the most ancient cities of the world. It’s the capital of India, and has a thriving migrant population from people all across the country coming to visit it.
