Before you get any ideas, let me be clear, Noida is not a holiday destination. It is just a spot you can visit while on your trip to New Delhi. No one actually goes to Noida for a holiday. A major fact unknown to many is that ‘Noida’ is not the christened name of the city. NOIDA actually stands for (New Okhla Industrial Development Area), which makes it just an abbreviation of its actual name The planned city does not have much to offer to visitors and sightseers as it is more a commercial and business zone with offices as opposed to buildings with tourist attractions.
Noida can easily be approached from New Delhi via taking the metro or a cab. Delhi to Noida cab will take you just about an hour, which of course depends on the time if your travel as well. Peak hours traffic will surely increase up the minutes of waiting. The metro in Delhi is the cheapest and fastest means of transport you can expect to find. Packed with working professionals and college students day in and day out, you can reach Noida by just a change of metro trains after a brief ride of about half an hour, depending on your source of origin.
There are a few sights to see around Noida and plays host to some landmark sporting events. The Noida half marathon and the Formula one race are the standouts among the few. Noida plays home to the Buddh International Circuit, which was one of the race tracks for the world acclaimed racing sport, ‘Formula 1’. It was inaugurated in 2011 and hosted the very first race that very year. Due to site maintenance and being unable to cope up with the tax demands of the Government the race course is currently suspended which is why the Buddh International circuit is not included in the 2016 Formula one race calendar. Sports enthusiasts in India are praying and hoping it resumes again soon since 2011 was a long prayer answer for them but the dream and happiness were short lived as it lasted only for a couple of years. Formula one is not the only world event that was held in Noida. In 2010, the World Commonwealth Games were held in the very same course used for the formula one tracks.
