Planning your trip to Agra
Best time to visit
The cooler months from roughly October to March are the most comfortable for sightseeing. April to June can be extremely hot, and the monsoon season is humid, though the crowds are usually lighter.
How many days you need
One to two days covers the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and a quieter viewpoint across the river. Fatehpur Sikri is a popular half-day extra. The Taj Mahal is normally closed to general visitors on Fridays, so check the current opening days before you plan.
Getting around
Most visitors arrive from Delhi by train or road in a few hours. In town, auto-rickshaws, taxis and hired drivers are the norm, and it helps to agree the fare and stops before you set off. Sunrise is a popular time to visit the Taj Mahal.
What to skip
It is common for drivers or helpers to steer visitors toward shops that pay them commissions. Buy tickets only from official counters or the official website, and feel free to decline extra stops.
