The 23 best places to go out in Agra (2024)

Marvellous piece of Architecture. In India there many places with great architecture. This monument is worth visiting. Better to book online tickets and avoid long queue. Early morning is best time to visit less crowded and peaceful. Drinking water is available inside gate no need to carry bottles avoid plastic.

Here, you will get the image of the monument reflected on the water. However, it is a crowded spot so you have to wait for your turn to be able to position here, and quickly take your shots once you're in front as others also want to be in this prime spot.

Cherish your moment there, an iconic heritage site. No wonder it's among the wonders.Go to the site during proper day light and spend time till evening to enjoy the sunset moment.The normal entry ticket costs 50 per head, whereas to the podium it will be 150. Of course it's worth visiting and look at the artworks from close eye distance. Keep your token handy, as it is required while exit.

As expected a truly incredible experience. It was magnificent and worth hiring a guide to explore the entire area. Recommend using the restroom before entering the grounds as they are very limited there and not great. Make sure to look at the detailIn the marble with all of the exotic stone inlays (by hand) in the dome.

Always a stunning place to look upon, with a mesmerizing and breathtaking view, no matter how many times you have visited. Recently, a main mausoleum ticket has been introduced, costing ₹150. For those visiting for the first time, they might consider buying the ticket, but I suggest not to. There's nothing inside worth spending an extra ₹150 for , the main entry ticket is for ₹50 (also don't buy those shoes cover outside, you can get them for free at the main mausoleum entry and you only need them for main mausoleum )

How can you not visit one of the 7 Wonders of the World?! This palace is simply amazing and beautiful. I have no words for this beautiful structure. Beyond its beauty, there is a powerful story of the history, involving family, murder, imprisonment, death, and memorial after death. Despite seeing a lot of other visitors there, it didn’t feel crowded. And once you entered inside to see the replica of the tombs, you entered in single file that seemed to move along quickly. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and overall it was fairly clean. Getting back was a trip! Waiting for the golf cart transport with the other visitors, there was no proper order or manners-so you gotta be quick if you want a seat on the transport back!

It is just phenomenal when you look up-front...... It is even more beautiful when you look up close. The pictures can never define it's beauty. It is truly one hell of a wonder.... And we went at the golden hour .... The sunset made it look even more magnificent....Ps: Don't visit on Friday as it remains closed on Fridays

I don't think there's anything new I can add to its praise. It's a wonder for a reason. It's good to avail a tour guide to understand how awesome this monument is. A few tips would be to buy shoe covers only if you were to visit the museum inside Taj and if bought online tickets would be discounted by 5 Rs. Preferably visit in the early morning to avoid crowds.

No matter how many times you have visited this wonderful monument, every time it feels so different and so amazing and it really would be a monumental regret of your life to not have visited this monument once in your lifetime.It's like this monument has a life of its own and you too will feel it when you are near to it.No wonder why many dream of visiting this wonder everyday.I wish I get a chance to visit this beauty again!

No doubt it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. Spectacular, Beauty created with great architectural skills. Hire a guide there and you will get so much more to know. It will take around 1hour 30 minutes for a full tour with a guide. It has been created so thoughtfully ages ago that you can't imagine. The symmetry in architecture, the 2D designing giving 3D illusions, the carvings of gems and the way they glow in light, I was so amused to see all that which I didn't know earlier. I admire the beauty but more than that the architectural skills. Must visit atleast once in a lifetime..

Well managed but for the first timers, it can be tricky to take autos from the car parking as autos are only allowed till a certain point. It is best to take government run battery buses from parking to entry point. From there just a 2 minute walk and one can buy entry tickets before getting in the queue. A big racket and ruckus about shoe covers, so please buy them in advance !

Very nice maintained world heritage monument. Recommended to arrive at Taj early morning from 5:30 - 6:00 am when the queue is not there. Wheelchair are available free. Battery cars take you from the parking for a nominal fee of Rs 20/- per person.

Historical Monument of India and one of the seven wonders of the world. It is still charming though many years have passed. There is brilliance and accuracy in every portion of the monument. The area is taken care very well. The garden is Maintained well. There are plenty of visitors visiting each and every day from different places and countries. Thanks to the authorities for the timely maintenance and protection given to it.

Nice and impressive building. We couldn’t make the most of it due to the fog during the 2 days we stayed in Agra.So crowed.The access to the building from the city is a chaos. This should be considered and improved for one of the wonders of the world.

It’s a must visit destination in indiaIt is an architectural marvel and an enduring symbol of love. Its stunning white marble facade, intricate carvings, and symmetrical gardens attract millions of visitors annually. While some may find it crowded, its historical significance and breathtaking beauty make it a must-visit destination. However, preservation efforts are essential to maintain its grandeur for future generations.I would recommend hiring a guide as it will help you in entry and will click your good pics as they know the trending pics also

Visited my first ‘7th Wonder of The World’ and I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it was. We had a guide who was very knowledgeable about all aspects.There are a lot of vendors who try to sell you items which are probably not authentic.Don’t fall for the photographers too who will charge you an arm and a leg.A must see!

What can I say. Probably the most perfect building in the world. A must visit if in India. Been lucky to have seen it twice now. Wow. Never fails to impress. Would recommend you hire a guide to get full experience and history. The architecture is near perfect - I’ll leave it to you to spot the minor imperfection. The grounds are immaculate and the whole atmosphere is transcendal. I can’t think of another site on this planet with a richer atmosphere.

Once in a life time, Must WatchOne of the 7th Wonder in the World

Very nice place feeling is good.Absolutely stunning and marvelous; must-see in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long for you (40 hours for me to get here from Florida) it is worthwhile getting to see this fantastic structure. I highly recommend you pay for a guided tour as it will be educational and efficient. The great photography was a bonus! Indescribable the setting and the architecture as well as the love story here. Hire a local photographer for their digital copy then you don’t have to worry about getting nice photos. They know the nice shots for you. You could get a paper copy as a choice. Go to the other side across the river as well to see from a different view. It looks different depending on the time of day.Spectacular! Great history and amazing architecture! Must see whilst visiting North India. Absolutely loved it. Although if you are non Indian tourist, you have to be careful with local tour guides and shop owners not to try to charge you few times more for services and items.

Title: One of the seven Wonders of the world.Reason: It's epic construction and the detailing done on it.Suggestion: Must go in your lifetime but it's worthwhile for a one time visit only.

A very nice location with good vibes. It is one of the greatest locations in the world, and you should see it at some point in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long, you should consider taking a guided tour. It is an amazing structure to see. The great photography was an unexpected bonus! The location, architectural design, and the love story are incredible. You can hire a local photographer to obtain high-quality pictures. They will help you take pictures of your choice. You can also purchase a hard copy. You can look at it from another perspective by crossing the river. It is different at various times of day. It is an amazing history and an amazing structure! It is something that can be appreciated while visiting North India. It was marvelous. While it may be hard for non-Indian tourists to find local guides and shopkeepers who will not try to overcharge them for services and items, it is very worthwhile.

One of the 7 wonders of the world for a reason and that reason can only be experienced and not explained. This was my 2nd visit and once again got mesmerized by its beauty, salute to efforts put into carvings. the gems and stones used glitters in sunlight even after 400 years. Must visit place. Highly recommended!!

I would say after seeing it with your own eyes only you will understand why it has been included into the list of world wonders.It is really really beautiful. Very huge, Majestic, Architectural and engineering Marvel.I have never seen something so beautiful and elegant.Hope you like the pictures that I have captured. You can watch the complete vlog on "Shiva Asal Vlog"

Lived up to it's expectation as a wonder of the world. The story behind the mausoleum is very sad but demonstrated a different world. We went on the anniversary of the kings death which meant we could see extra things and this was lucky for us! Stunning!

Insanely beautiful and awe inspiring. The love story is also beautiful and tragic. Sunrise viewing was stunning, and walking around enabled tourist free photos. Highly recommend life changing experience.

Have never seen anything as beautiful as this monument. Recommend recommend recommend.Pro Tip : do take a guide. Their story telling makes Taj even more beautiful and intriguing. There are good English/ Hindi/ Russian/ Spanish speaking ones.

It's a beautiful place and a beautiful structure. The view of yamuna is amazing on the backside, properly maintained and garden view is also great. A must visit place with friends or family. Just one thing which was not okay that washrooms are not properly maintained other than that it's a great area and great place. I really enjoyed being there 👍🏻

What can I say, it's the most amazing place I have ever visited. The story behind the Taj Mahal and the craftsmanship is incredible. I went as part of a tour, I would definitely recommend getting a tour guide as they can tell you all about the history.We got there just before 8am and there were no wait times at all and this was a Saturday. There are photographers who will take your picture if you want them to but otherwise your tour guide will know all of the best spots to have them. I truly hope I get to visit again!

What to say about Taj!!Timeless, stunning and breathtakingly beautiful..Do hire a govt authorised guide and explore this place. Visit in early morning hours and see this marvel in the golden hour.. It opens at 6 am. Its worth the efforts..Would like to come here again and again❤️

Without a doubt, the beauty of this place takes your breath away. It's recommended to go at dawn to see the sun rise there. Just be prepared to be patient because it's very crowded, and everyone wants to take photos too. I bought the tickets on the official India website, and it was quite easy; you don't need to go with a guide. You can read all about the place before, during, or after. Make sure to buy the entrance to the place along with the mausoleum. There's a long list of things you can't bring in; try to go with just your phone, wallet, and nothing else if possible

The Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, made a powerful first impression with its immense size. Photographs simply can't capture its true scale. Seeing it in person left me in awe. Having read about it since childhood, standing before it felt surreal. Its beauty is incredible and absolutely worth experiencing. This historic monument is stunning, and words cannot fully convey its magnificence. Definitely make the trip to visit the Taj Mahal.

Don't hire photographers and guides. Service not good.They'll eat your money.Instead take your own camera.Peta sweet is very famous here but again bargain. Ask rates in 3-4 shops and then buy.Of course an iconic place. Enjoy

Absolutely beautiful. We arrived just before sunrise, spent 3 hours there (max. time allowed per ticket) and of course it was a highlight of our trip.No queues at 5 am (on a weekday) to buy the tickets or entry. Staff were wide awake and helpful. A free bottle of water and shoe covers are given free.You will be approached by guides and professional photographers, a polite refusal is fine.Carry as little as possible in your bag to get through security smoothly.Watch out for the monkeys in the outer compound.Once inside the main area, amateur photographers will try to guide you to the best photo spots and take pictures for you with your phone.We had a little old man do it for us (free at first, he never asked for money) at first we reluctantly accepted his help, and were SO glad we did. He knew all the best spots and angles. He took awesome pics and short videos so at the end we tipped him gladly.Inside the mausoleum was worth the extra admission. The attendants inside will suck you in with rapid fire information, then ask for a tip.There is a museum to the left of the main area but it only opens at 9am.It was an effort to get up so early but well worth it to avoid the crowds and see the magnificent Taj Mahal in the early morning light.Pity about the fountains and ponds being empty. Some renovation and getting them working would have made the main area even more magical and created a nice cooling effect.But this was a small thing. We were so glad we came.

Place is seems to be good when it comes to architecture. Needs to take care of by government more than before. Entry ticket is 50 rs for outer red stones but you you have to take 250 tocket if you want to walk on white marble. Yes you can take wheelchair services. No need to carry bags and extra carry. Just deposit to lockers. Huge parking is there and 500 mt walk from parking to taj entry. Yes there is washroom inside at the right corner of this property.Friday is closed.

7th wonder of the world! A busy tourist place. Beautiful monument with a sad history .Tourist guides and photographers are available. Tourists should bargain with them . Some have propensity to cheat.Online booking helps to skip lines. We visited at around 2 pm on a weekday. It was not so busy. It took us around 1 hour to see the entire monument.Security is tight here. Tourists are not allowed to carry big bags . Only small bag with water bottles, purse etc is allowed.

the one of the wonder monuments which we must visit at least once in our life. It's truly a world wonder. Try to visit at opening time , so we can avoid being too crowded and have a peaceful atmosphere.

Taj Mahal itself is a very magnificent place to visit. Unfortunately, the way to go there (the pathway from East Gate smells of pee. Plus once you arrive, a lot of tour guides will follow you and keep insisting you to take them as your guide, even if you already said no so many times. It really ruined the mood. And the vibes of the place.It should be a magical place because a part of the world wonders, but too many local people who always push to offer something (guides, photographer, postcard etc) will really annoy tourists who are already tired from walking and the honks from the road, and want to just enjoy the place.Hopefully, in the future, there will be a more organized system for the guides and photographers.
