About Agra
Mughal Architecture, Riverside Gardens and Timeless Heritage
Agra is one of India's most visited heritage cities and is best known as the home of the Taj Mahal. The city flourished during the Mughal period and today preserves magnificent forts, tombs, gardens and traditional craft traditions.
Beyond the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh and Itmad-ud-Daulah offer deeper insight into Mughal history and architecture. Fatehpur Sikri, located outside the city, is another major heritage site often included in Agra itineraries.
Agra is also known for marble inlay work, leather products, handicrafts and local sweets such as petha. The city can be visited as a day trip from Delhi or as part of the Golden Triangle.
