Agra is one of Uttar Pradesh's notable destinations, with a mix of heritage, nature, and culture worth building a visit around. Here are the top places to explore.
Taj Mahal
The UNESCO World Heritage marble mausoleum built by Shah Jahan for Mumtaz Mahal, and one of the most recognisable monuments in the world.
Agra Fort
A massive red sandstone fort and UNESCO site that served as the main residence of Mughal emperors before Delhi.
Fatehpur Sikri
A remarkably preserved Mughal-era capital city near Agra, built by Akbar and abandoned decades later due to water shortages.
Mehtab Bagh
A Mughal garden across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal, offering a classic unobstructed view of the monument, especially at sunset.
Itmad-ud-Daulah
Often called the "Baby Taj," this ornate marble tomb is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal's architectural style.
