Visit Agra, India

Most famous as the home of the Taj Mahal, Agra is set on a bend in the sacred Yamuna River and has held a strategic defensive position throughout its history. Both the Taj and the highly impressive city fort overlook the river, as do a number of significant tombs and mausoleums from the Mughal period.

The Taj is the undoubted highlight, a magnificent structure that easily lives up to its exalted reputation. Modern Agra by comparison lacks the charm of the other great cities of India’s north, however its exquisite monuments make it an unmissable stop on any first time tour of the country.amous as the home of the Taj Mahal, Agra is set on a bend in the sacred Yamuna River and has held a strategic defensive position throughout its history.
