If you love stamps and meuseums, this place is for you. Take the metro to patel chowk and walk to Dak bhawan. It's a quiet place and one can browse through journey of Indian stamps. There's nothing interactive here so not suitable for children. There is no sale of stamps here. For this you can visit The Philatelic Beauru in Head post office, Sansad Marg. It is just in the adjacent building.

Must visit for all philatelist. Has an exhaustive exhibition on all things with regards to stamp plus you can purchase first day covers and many stamps for sale. A little of the beaten path but can easily be found through Google maps. One of the highlights of my Delhi trip.
