Best time to fly

October to March is the best time to visit Agra, as the weather is cool and dry. Avoid the summer months (April to June) due to extreme heat. The Taj Mahotsav, a cultural festival, is held in February.

Getting from the airport to Agra

Agra's Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Airport (AGR) is about 13 km from the city centre. You can hire a prepaid taxi for around ₹400-₹500. Auto-rickshaws are also available but negotiate the fare beforehand.

Things to do in Agra

Visit the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of love. Explore Agra Fort, another UNESCO site showcasing Mughal architecture. Discover Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, often called the 'Baby Taj'. Wander through Mehtab Bagh for a stunning view of the Taj Mahal at sunset.

Food to try

Try the local Mughlai cuisine, especially the flavorful biryanis and kebabs. Petha, a sweet made from white pumpkin, is an Agra specialty. Street food like chaat and samosas are also popular.

Local tips

Bargain when shopping for souvenirs, especially at local markets. Be aware of touts and guides offering unsolicited services near the Taj Mahal. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites.
