Top Places to Visit in Agra
Agra is home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites — the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri — making it one of the most important heritage tourism destinations in the world. Here is what every Delhi to Agra taxi traveller should plan to see:
1. Taj Mahal — The Crown of Palaces
Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1653 as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world and India’s most iconic monument. Made entirely of white Makrana marble with semi-precious stone inlay (pietra dura), the Taj changes colour subtly through the day — rosy at dawn, milky white at noon, golden at sunset.
Entry timings: Sunrise to sunset (closed Fridays). Best time to visit: Sunrise — you’ll get the most spectacular view, fewer crowds, and cooler weather. Our driver will drop you at the West Gate (closest parking).
2. Agra Fort — The Red Fort of Agra
Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 and expanded by Shah Jahan, the Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a massive red sandstone complex that served as the main royal residence of the Mughals until 1638. Don’t miss the Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), Musamman Burj (where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb), and the stunning view of the Taj Mahal from the fort.
3. Fatehpur Sikri — Akbar’s Ghost City
Located 40 km from Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is a UNESCO-listed ghost city built by Emperor Akbar in 1571 as his capital, then abandoned just 14 years later due to water shortage. The red sandstone complex includes the Buland Darwaza (one of the tallest gateways in the world), the Jama Masjid, the tomb of Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chishti, and the Panch Mahal. Most travellers add Fatehpur Sikri to a 2-day Agra trip or extend their day-trip from Delhi.
4. Itimad-ud-Daulah — The “Baby Taj”
Often called the Baby Taj or “Jewel Box”, this exquisite white marble mausoleum was built by Empress Nur Jahan for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg between 1622-1628. Many architectural historians consider it the prototype for the Taj Mahal — the pietra dura inlay technique was perfected here before being scaled up for the Taj. Smaller crowds, peaceful gardens, and lovely Yamuna views.
5. Mehtab Bagh — Sunset View of the Taj
A Mughal-era garden directly across the Yamuna river from the Taj Mahal, Mehtab Bagh is the best spot for the iconic Taj sunset photograph. The Taj glows golden in the late afternoon light, and crowds are minimal here. Highly recommended if you have an afternoon to spare.
6. Sikandra — Akbar’s Tomb
Just 13 km from Agra on the Delhi-Agra highway, Sikandra is the final resting place of Emperor Akbar the Great. Built between 1605-1613, the tomb’s architecture beautifully blends Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain and Christian motifs — reflecting Akbar’s syncretic vision of Din-i Ilahi. A convenient first stop when arriving in Agra from Delhi.
7. Jama Masjid & Sadar Bazaar
The Jama Masjid of Agra, built by Shah Jahan’s daughter Jahanara in 1648, is one of the largest mosques in India. The adjoining Sadar Bazaar and Kinari Bazaar are perfect for shopping — pick up Agra’s famous marble inlay handicrafts (mini Taj replicas), leather goods, sweets like petha (the iconic sweet of Agra), and Mughlai handicrafts.
8. Mehtab Bagh, Chini Ka Rauza & Ram Bagh
If you have a full day in Agra, also visit Chini Ka Rauza (the tile-decorated tomb of Afzal Khan, Shah Jahan’s prime minister) and Ram Bagh (the oldest Mughal garden in India, laid out by Emperor Babur in 1528). These hidden gems offer a peaceful escape from the Taj crowds.

Best Time to Visit Agra from Delhi
The best time to take a Delhi to Agra cab is between October and March, when the weather is cool (10–28°C) and ideal for outdoor sightseeing at the Taj. Avoid May and June — temperatures cross 45°C and walking around the marble monument becomes extremely uncomfortable. Monsoon (July-September) is pleasant but expect occasional showers.
Friday closure: The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday. If you have only one day in Agra, do not pick a Friday.
Special days: The Taj is open for night viewing on 5 nights around the full moon every month (except in Ramzan). Tickets must be booked at least 24 hours in advance at the ASI office. Ask us about night-viewing taxi packages.
