Standing along the banks of the Yamuna River, Agra draws millions to its crown jewel – the magnificent Taj Mahal. This former Mughal capital blends ornate Islamic architecture with bustling markets and authentic street food. Beyond the white marble icon, visitors discover the impressive red sandstone Agra Fort and hidden gems like Akbar’s Tomb. The city’s centuries-old craftsmanship lives on through marble inlay work, leather goods, and vibrant textiles.
