Agra: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Agra and its famous Taj Mahal, or India's most visited place.
My suggestion
Don't limit yourself to just the Taj Mahal and take advantage of a stay in Agra to go and discover the city and its incredible markets.
Agra houses an architectural jewel, the iconic Taj Mahal. Named a wonder of the world in 1983 by UNESCO, it is a must-see for anyone traveling in India.
My suggestion
Visit the funerary monument in mid or late afternoon to be sure of being there at sunset. At that time of day, the sunlight really shows up the structure of the white marble.
Located 200 km from Delhi, Agra attracts more than three million visitors every year. They all come for just one reason: the legendary Taj Mahal.
My suggestion
Warning: the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. Further warning: Agra is a favorite spot for thousands of crooks and swindlers. It has to be said that with three million visitors, the pickings are good.
