About Agra

Agra rose to prominence as a Mughal capital in the 16th century under Akbar, who built its great red fort. In the 17th century Shah Jahan commissioned the Taj Mahal here as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The city's tombs, gardens and nearby Fatehpur Sikri make it one of the richest Mughal sites in India.

TravelDaddy verdictSee the Taj at sunrise, then linger for the rest.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
