A walk through history, Agra is the mystical abode of all things past. Though magnificence of the Taj Mahal attracts tourists to Agra from all over the world, this city is also peppered with forts, tombs and mausoleums that make for an attractive itinerary. Nicknamed Baby Taj, the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is worth a visit. A visit to the ruined city of Fatehpur Sikri, Agra Fort, and Akbar’s Tomb also deserve a place in your itinerary. Fatehpur Sikri built by Emperor Akbar requires you to keep aside a day for visit. The Agra Fort should be explored for its antiquity and display of architectural finesse. A city of dualities, Agra has also been quietly undergoing a metamorphosis of its own as new hipster neighbourhoods are cropping up throughout its length and breadth. Besides the Taj Mahal, tourists also flock to the Mehtab Bagh, which is neatly aligned with the Taj, for an enchanting view of the iconic monument on full moon nights.
