A Delhi Tourism citizen-charter document gives Dilli Haat, Pitampura hours as 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and admission as Rs. 15 for adults and Rs. 5 for children. Because the document is older, check the official site before you go. You can find more about the range of crafts and food in this Dilli Haat visitor guide.

Shalimar Bagh is a historic Mughal garden site whose remaining garden area is now a park managed by the Delhi Development Authority.

It was the most extensive of the Mughal pleasure gardens built north of Shahjahanabad. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb used Sheesh Mahal and the adjacent gardens as a country house, and he was crowned at the site in 1658. Sheesh Mahal is under Archaeological Survey of India control.

Visitor hours, admission fees and access rules are not stated, so check with the relevant authorities before you plan a visit. For background on the site, see Shalimar Bagh in New Delhi.
