Moreover, it is considered a World Heritage site as well. Tour around the site and take pictures of this famous monument of India.
As for the visitors traveling from Delhi to Agra, a visit to the Taj Mahal early on the tour will be quite beneficial for them because the rest of the monuments can then be visited on the same day.
Moving on from the Taj Mahal, visit Agra Fort, which is an exquisite red sandstone structure that holds historical significance for the Mughal Dynasty. Some of the features that you will find within the fort are huge courtyards, palace structures, audience rooms, mosques, and more.
