Things to do in Agra

Visit the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and symbol of love. Explore Agra Fort, a historical fort showcasing Mughal architecture. See Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, also known as the 'Baby Taj'. Wander through Mehtab Bagh for a stunning view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.

Try the local Mughlai cuisine, especially the Agra ka Petha, a sweet made from white pumpkin. Sample some spicy chaat at a street vendor for a burst of local flavour.

Local tips

Bargain when shopping, especially at local markets. Be aware of touts and guides offering services at inflated prices near tourist attractions. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites.
