Guide to Agra, India

Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Located about 200 km south of the Indian capital New Delhi.

Why go? Visit the icon of India - the Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal, Agra, India

Highlights:

• Taj Mahal: Although it seems like a typical tourist trap - the Taj Mahal is truly impressive and worth a visit.
• Fatehpur Sikri: 40km west of Agra, it is a well preserved deserted city which is easily reached on a day trip from Agra.
• Agra Fort: an interesting fort in the center of Agra city.

Accomdoation

I found a nice place, pretty cheap, around the corner from the Taj.
