Agra Tourism

One of the cities that comprise the Golden Triangle of North India for tourists, Agra sees a lot of tourist traffic. And why shouldn't it? Backed by a rich historical culture, tourism in Agra is symbolized by the one and only Taj Mahal. The fact that is situated just 204 kms from Delhi has also given a major boost to the Agra tourism.

Situated on the Ganges plains on the western bank of River Yamuna, the city of Agra was founded around AD 1022 and has had the honor of being the Mughal capital for several dynasties. And modern Agra too carries the shining torch of its resplendent past with pride by preserving its architectural heritage with care.

Example of Agra's architectural supremacy can be seen in the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Itimad Ud Daulah's Tomb, Buland Darwaza and Chini ka Rauza to name just a few. Explore these buildings and be transported back into the time, to the grandeur and intrigues of the Mughal court.

Even though, most tourists complain of Agra being highly polluted, dusty and crowded, all these will look superficial the moment you stand in the presence of the imposing structures of Agra. Apart from monument hopping, you can also indulge in shopping while on a tour to Agra. Of course, it is more than guaranteed that you will come across plastic and marble souvenirs of Taj Mahal in practically all the shops. The plethora of hotels that suits the needs of all kinds of travelers further gives boost to tourism in Agra. Agra has a range of accommodation options- from luxurious to budget hotels in close vicinity to the city center.
