About Agra

Agra exists for one building, and it does not disappoint. The Taj Mahal is best visited at sunrise, when the marble shifts from grey to pink to gold and the crowds are thinnest. Agra Fort, a short drive away, gives the same view from the emperor’s own balcony — where Shah Jahan spent his final years gazing at the tomb he built.

Best time to visit
October to March. Sunrise visits are worthwhile in any season.
Getting around
Usually visited as a day trip or overnight stop from Delhi, by private car (3-4 hours each way).

What our travellers say

All reviews
“They met us at the airport at 1am, took us to the hotel, and from then on we didn't think about a single arrangement for nine days. Worth every dollar.”
Sarah M. – 🇺🇸 Boston, USA
“Our flight to Jaipur was cancelled. Their coordinator had a car and a new hotel sorted before we'd even left the terminal. That's what you're paying for.”
James W. – 🇬🇧 London, UK
“Travelling with two kids in India sounded impossible. They planned it so well that it was the easiest family holiday we've had.”
Claire L. – 🇨🇦 Toronto, Canada

Agra travel tips

No — the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. It opens at sunrise, which is also the quietest and most beautiful time to visit.
