Your Republic Day excursion will be incomplete if you don't visit India Gate. India's glory lies here with the names of the 70,000 undivided Indian Army soldiers who fought the First World War. With the Amar Jawan Jyoti burning with all its pride, India Gate looks spectacular in the evening when the entire structure is lit up with the arch of gate lit in the tricolour.

Recently, the premise of India Gate has seen an addition to its glory in the form of National War Memorial. This war memorial is built to honour the officers and soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces who laid their lives fighting for India in the wars that took place post-. It doesn't matter if you are visiting on Republic day or after, the enthusiasm and patriotic vibe around India Gate are always high.

5. Raisina Hills

Last but not least, one of the best places to visit on Republic Day visit is the Raisina Hills. Encompassing the magnificent Rashtrapati Bhawan, North Block, South Block, you will not have a better place than this to feel what patriotism contemplates.

Though the Rashtrapati Bhawan remains closed during the Republic Day week, you can still visit the area up to north and south block. You will get a glimpse of this beautiful structure from there, but if you want to visit beyond that area, you can always visit later once the Republic Day celebrations are over. When you visit the India Gate, you can quite somewhat see the dome of the Rashtrapati Bhawan with the Indian Flag waving high gloriously. In the evening, with the entire facade lit up, the premise of Rashtrapati Bhawan looks stunning when the colours of the National Flag make their way through the lighting phenomena.
