Taj Mahal, Agra, India

Located about 200 km south of the Indian capital New Delhi, it's possible to do a day trip to Agra and see the major sites in a day, including visiting the icon of India - the Taj Mahal. However, the city has much more to offer and is worth having a few day to explore.

Highlights:

• 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.
