Agra Fort
A red sandstone Mughal fortress with a clear view of the Taj Mahal from its ramparts — the same place Shah Jahan spent his final years under house arrest. It's a half-day sight in its own right.
Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)
A smaller, earlier marble tomb often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal's inlay style, with a fraction of the crowds — a good stop for travelers who want the same craftsmanship without the lines.
Old Agra
The working, living side of the city — spice lanes, sweet shops, and marble inlay workshops. See our Old Agra City Walk for details.
Fatehpur Sikri
Akbar's abandoned red sandstone capital, about 40 minutes from Agra — a genuinely different architectural period worth a half-day trip. See the Fatehpur Sikri tour.
