Start your journey in the morning by exploring the world's most iconic symbol of love, Tajmahal. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, Tajmahal is considered one of the most stunning masterpieces of art. Spend the day admiring the magnificent imperial architecture of the monument with its intricate white marble details and its beautiful garden.
Agra Fort, the UNESCO World Heritage site, is the perfect destination for your second day. With its impressive red-stone architecture and significant history, Agra Fort is another must-visit landmark in Agra. Once the seat of power of the Mughal Empire, the fort boasts breathtaking palaces, courtyards and mosques.
End your trip with a spectacular sunset view at Mehtab Bagh, one of the lesser-known and quieter monuments in Agra. This serene garden complex located on the banks of the Yamuna River provides you with the most magnificent and peaceful views of the Tajmahal. Take a leisurely stroll across the lush lawns enjoying the serenity of this serene retreat.
If you have more time, visit Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 40 km from Agra. This deserted city tells a story of the Mughal empire's glory and its decline. The excursion will take about half a day, involving several hours of driving, and entry fees must be paid.
If you have less time and are interested in Agra's history, visit only the Tajmahal and Agra Fort.
