Tourist Attractions in Agra
Agra has a long tradition of heritage splendor. Tourist attractions in this "City of Mausoleums" stand as witnesses to royal eras that have left their mark on the history of this ancient land mentioned as 'Agraban' in old Hindu scriptures.
Tourist attractions such as the Agra Fort, Chini ka Rauza, Itmad-Ud-Daullah's Tomb and Sikandra unravel countless history secrets as you pass from one heritage corridor to another.
Tour the Taj Mahal in Agra - the most important of all tourist attractions not only in Agra but also in the world. A humongous mass of white marble chiseled delicately such that it gives the impression of a soft white cloud settled on the banks of the shimmering Yamuna.
Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the sensational Taj Mahal is a 'promise' kept by a true lover. Shah Jahan vowed to erect a memorial that would remain incomparable in elegance and beauty till the dooms day. Centuries have passed and the Taj Mahal is still the most fabulous mausoleum in the world.
Tour Emperor Akbar's Tomb at Sikandra while on tours to Agra tourist attractions with Destination India Tourism packages. This stately monument with minimum ornamentation exudes a grandiose aura that befits one of Emperor Akbar's stature.
Among the intriguing tourist attractions in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is a 'must visit' and like Taj Mahal is a Unesco world heritage site. A walled city that was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar as a tribute to the saint Salim Chisti who blessed the emperor with an heir to the throne.
See palatial mansions such as the Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal, Jodha Bai's Mahal, Jama Masjid and Dargah of Salim Chisti.
