What are the best places to visit in Agra?

The few best places in Agra to spend time with your family are:

1. Taj Mahal




The Mughal Empire Shahjahan constructed the Taj Mahal to remember his beloved wife, Mumtaz. You can explore the beauty of this masterpiece. The ancient white marble looks so beautiful in the moonlight; the white marble looks like silver. You can experience the sunrise beauty here. It is less crowded and, at its beauty, has no words to express at the time of sunrise. The Taj Mahal shines like gold at that time. You can visit here from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm, but remember it is closed every Friday. You can buy tickets online or from the ticket counter.

2. Agra fort

The Red Fort of Agra is another name for the medieval fort known as the Agra Fort. At this fort, Mughal emperor Humayun was crowned. Later, in 1565, the Mughal emperor Akbar repaired it, and 1573, the current building was finished. When the capital was moved from Agra to Delhi, the location was the Mughal dynasty's primary home. It is located around 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) northwest of the Taj Mahal, its more well-known sibling structure. The entry gate to the Agra Fort is open from six in the morning till ten at night. The hours of operation for ticket booths are 7:00 a.m.–10:30 p.m.

3. Mhetab bagh

Mehtab Bagh, sometimes called "Moonlight Garden," is a series of char baghs in Agra, North India. It is located in the flood plains on the other side of the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort. The garden also had narcissus and fruit trees, white plaster paths, airy pavilions, lakes, and fountains. The riverside terrace design of the park was intended to be an essential element of the Taj Mahal complex. The vivid reflection of the magnificent Taj Mahal in the park's lakes on moonlight evenings is incredible. In addition to the numerous fruit trees, Mehtabh Bagh is now a horticultural treat with hundreds of colourfully blossoming flowering plants and medicinal herbs. You may enjoy a breathtaking nighttime view of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh. Mehtab Bagh's operation hours are from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

4. Itmad-ud-daula




The Mughal queen Nur Jahan constructed the Tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daula between 1622 and 1628, where her father, Itimad Ud Daula, was buried. This beautiful tomb on the Yamuna's banks is called the 'Baby Taj.' Built around 1625 AD. It opens from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm every day. Explore the pure white and elaborately carved tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, conform to the Islamic style of architecture with your family, and understand the history of the place.

5. Jama Masjid




The Jama Masjid is one of Agra's oldest mosques. Shah Jahan built the Jama masjid in 1648 in honour of his daughter, Jahanara Begum. Its name means Friday Mosque, which refers to the large congregation held each Friday. The Jama Masjid was built of red sandstone and white marble, the place's beauty. It also testifys to the magnificent Mughal architecture of the time. The place has a fountain at the centre, supported by four kiosks in the courtyard. On Friday, special prayers are conducted at this mosque, which thousands of devotees attend. The Tomb of Salim Chisti is a part of the mosque compound.
