Agra Travel Guide
Agra is a city in the north India|Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, some 201 km from the Indian capital city of New Delhi.
Agra is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. There are three UNESCO World Heritage List|UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort in the city and Fatehpur Sikri nearby.
The city has little else to recommend it. Pollution, especially smog and litter, is rampant and travellers are pestered by swarms of touts and hawkers at every monument, mosque, temple or palace. That said, the sites are some of the wonders of the world and no trip to India is complete without at least one visit to the Taj.

Getting Around
Auto-rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws roam the streets and loiter outside tourist spots. Rs.50 is enough for most any trip on either. Agree fares clearly in advance.
Tonga's, electric buses and electric tempos are also available near the Taj.
