  2. 2

    A once-abandoned Mughal capital built by Akbar, about 40 km from Agra, with the Buland Darwaza gateway, Jama Masjid and the tomb of Salim Chishti in remarkably preserved sandstone.

    Known as the 'Baby Taj', this marble tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg predates the Taj Mahal and shows early inlay work that influenced its more famous successor, usually visited without the crowds.

    A large 17th-century mosque near Agra Fort built by Shah Jahan's daughter Jahanara, still functioning and worth a stop while exploring the old city and its markets.

    Kinari Bazaar
    A crowded, old-city market street near the fort good for leather goods, marble handicrafts and petha (Agra's famous sweet), giving a slice of everyday Agra life.
Getting there

How to Reach Agra

✈️ By air

Agra has its own airport, Kheria Airport (Agra Airport), with limited domestic flights to a few cities; most travellers instead fly into Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, about 210 km away, and continue by road or train.

🚆 By train

Agra Cantonment (Agra Cantt) railway station is the main hub, well connected to Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and other major cities; Agra Fort railway station is a secondary station used by some trains, particularly to Rajasthan.

🚌 By road

Agra sits on the Yamuna Expressway and National Highway 19, roughly a 3 to 4 hour drive from Delhi and about 4 to 5 hours from Jaipur; frequent state and private buses run from both cities, and self-drive or taxi is common given the good expressway.

Q: Is it safe to visit Agra as a solo female traveler?
