Major Attractions in Agra
Taj Mahal: The epitome of love, the Taj Mahal is a must-visit. Plan for early morning or late afternoon visits to avoid the crowds and enjoy the changing hues of the marble.
Agra Fort: A UNESCO World Heritage site, this historical fort offers a deep dive into Mughal history with its palaces, halls, and mosques.
Fatehpur Sikri: Another UNESCO World Heritage site, this deserted city is about an hour’s drive from Agra and offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Akbar's reign.
Mehtab Bagh: A perfect spot for a view of the Taj Mahal from across the Yamuna River, especially at sunset.
Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb: Often referred to as the 'Baby Taj', this mausoleum is a precursor to the Taj Mahal and offers beautiful gardens and intricate marble work.
