The city of Agra which is better known for the Taj Mahal is home to two other UNESCO World Heritage sites along with a rich Mughal legacy. It is also part of the Golden Triangle which also comprise of Delhi and Jaipur. A visit to India would seem rather incomplete without a visit to the Taj Mahal, and while it’s possibly the most conventional thing to do while in India, it’s worth every minute of the visit. Getting in to Agra is easiest and simplest by either rail or road, as they’re well connected, and the roads are in excellent conditions. While Agra does have an airport, it operates only seasonally, and the closest airport is the one in Delhi which is around 200 km. Agra is definitely one of the top family destinations and is frequently visited by people in Delhi as a quick weekend trip considering the close distance and excellent conditions of the roads there. To cater to the steady stream of travellers that visit Agra, there are plenty of hotels that have been set up that go from economical to luxurious. Booking in advance would be the recommended route to go with, especially if you’re planning a trip during the winter months as prices tend to sky rocket.

While in Agra, the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri are must visits. They each are UNESCO World Heritage sites and while the magnificence of the majestic Taj Mahal is incomparable, the beauty in architecture of Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri have their own grandeur. The only hindrance to spending an entire day just soaking in the history of these places would be the hawkers, the touts, and fake tour guides who are relentless. Apart from these three sites, there are also gardens, temples and churches where one can spend some time in. Shopping in Agra is also a treat, as it is well known for leather products as well as stone products such as miniatures of the Taj Mahal and jewellery boxes which are intricate and beautiful.
