Agra Travel Guide

One of the worst cities in India, in my opinion. Get in, see the Fort and the Taj, and get out! The touts are the most vicious I've ever encountered. Yikes!

Agra has most famous building around- that is Taj Mahal! I visited that building on 27 December 2007.

Famous for the Taj Mahal Agra is most popular with tourists therefore being very crowded. Foreign tourists have to pay way over the odds to get into see the Taj Mahal than Indian tourists, so its worth knowing that fridays are free.

Most come here to see the Taj Mahal. Its worth knowing fridays are free. Usually foreigners have to pay above the odds, alot more than Indian tourists to get into see it. Agra is a fab place though and if you like monkeys yo'll be glad to know there is a lot of wild ones running around the streets! Bring some bananas, but be careful of your hand!

Visit Taj Mahal in either the early morning or at night, to avoid extreme glare so you can actually see what your looking at! 

Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal and the Red fort of Agra! A must see place in India. The Taj Mahal is the most wonderfull building I've ever seen!

When you get to the Tag Mahal go about 30 feet to the right...thats the best spot to take a picture.

free fri at the taj-best to go really early morn,like 6.30 as can get crowded quickely.

The Red Fort is an extraordinary red sandstone complex at Agra’s river. I really don’t know wish I liked more if Taj Mahal or Red Fort. Ok, I do know … I haven’t seen ever anything so beautiful as the Red Fort. Its situation, colour, building, water fountains inside, all makes this place unique. Red Fort is a city its self, an incredible rich in every aspect group of buildings and water places. It is said that the son of Shah Jehan recluse him here, and from here he look how the Taj Mahal was build. My God I want a jail like this one !!!! Red Fort is include in the bonus you fave ot the 5 more important monuments, you have to pay 250R more. The entrance was full, as at Taj Mahal, of seller and guides that didn't understood "No Thanks" I think you should visit Taj and Red Fort in different days becuase both are very big and you will be very tired if you visit both the same day.

Agra is definitely the destination for you if you wish to see the wonderful temple built by Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. It's actually majestic in it's size. You would need to walk barefooted on the upper tier of the temple and see the fascinating interior of the Taj Mahal.
