Bazaars 1 Janpath flea market, Connaught Ln, Janpath (metro: Janpath 6 0.3 km N, bus: 500, 505, 522, 522A-1, 522A-2, 522A to 'Indian Oil Bhawan'). is a bargain-hunter's dream and just a two minute walk from Connaught place. Think of it as a vast flea market, where you can get all kinds of knick-knacks and clothes. Janpath is not a place for those unwilling or unable to bargain ruthlessly. Also, as in any flea market, quality will vary greatly. There are also some bookshops. (updated Sep 2022) 2 Palika Bazaar, Palika Bazaar Rd, Connaught Place (metro: Rajiv Chowk 2 3/4 ).
