Place Connaught
Connaught Place is a prominent shopping destination and an odd hybrid of a Victorian arcade, a bazaar, and a retail mall.If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of pubs and cafés to visit and lots of A-Class movie theaters to unwind in.Janpath, one of the city's most famous flea markets, is not far away, and neither is the even closer Palika Bazaar.
Day 4: Agra
