About Agra

Home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a monument to undying love, the celebrated Taj Mahal is India’s most famous landmark. Known as ‘the crown of palaces’ it was commissioned in 1632 by the notorious Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favourite wife. A grandiose structure it attracts thousands of visitors every day and Agra is therefore rife with touts. However it is not to be missed and our pick of the best places to stay in Agra provide a tranquil stay away from the clamour of hectic city centre.

A mandatory stop on any itinerary to India it can seem like there is little else to do in Agra other than a visit to the Taj and as a result of this most visitors only spend the night.
