Advantages: World Heritage Site, beautiful, impressive, must see, etc.
Disadvantages: Crowds, conmen, oppressive atmosphere

Agra Fort, also known as the Red Fort (though not to be confused with the fort of the same colour at Delhi), is usually thought of as the second of Agra's World Heritage Sites, although it predates the Taj Mahal by nearly a century. Built on an ancient site by the first of the Mughal emperors, Akbar, as his administrative headquarters, it is a vast complex enclosed within the massive sandstone walls that give it its nick-name, twenty ...
...to see the sights of Agra fully, and if you had a special interest in the history and architecture of it period it might be worth it, but it would entail staying in Agra, and it is not an attractive city apart from its ancient monuments.

Before we leave Agra's ancient monuments, there is one more that needs to be mentioned, which to my mind was the pick of the bunch.

A Symbol of Eternal Love and Peace.

Advantages: Be the one to explore this Wonder of World.
Disadvantages: None

...Taj is located in AGRA , a historical city and is flocked by millions of tourists from across the world every year. It is 203 Km (=127 miles) away from Delhi, capital of India. It is 232Km from Jaipur , another popular destination for international tourists. The city of Agra, that is the third biggest city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, is positioned on the banks of the river Yamuna and lies between 27.18° N and 78.02° E longitude. ...
...current climate of city of Agra before visiting because the temperatures can go to 45 degrees in peak summer and 1 degree in peak winter. During monsoon season , there can be very heavy rains and high level of humidity.

I have personally visited this place on 6 occasions and loved it everytime . I recommend it to every loving ...

Advantages: ROMANCE
Disadvantages: Time your first view for the less crowded times.

...mini tour included of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. (The Golden Triangle). We had 7 Nights in Goa then it was time for the mini-tour. It was on the Flight to Jaipur that I lost my fear of flying. Goa to Bombay not too bad the Air hostesses served Curry Meat or Veg. Plane landed at Bombay every one got off except for our tour party of 22 souls who became known as "THE SURVIVORS OF MODILUF FLIGHT 420 GOA TO JAIPUR". The plane filled up and took off for ...

The Taj Mahal

Advantages: One of Indias most famous buildings, most well preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world
Disadvantages: None

The Taj Mahal in Agra has to be one of the classic images of India and one of the World's major landmarks. I was once told you should only really go there with a lover, but I wasn't any less in awe just because i was in a group of 20, 17 year olds. It''s one of those places, along with the Great Wall of China, that I've always thought of as a place that you have to visit at some point in your life. Admittedly I ended up there quite by accident ...
...but there you go. Agra was the centre for the Mughal emperors until they moved their capital to Delhi in 1637. And the Taj Mahal is infact a tomb. Built in 1631 by Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan as a tribute to his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, after she died giving birth to their 14th child. The Taj Mahal looks over the River Yamuna and took 22 years to build from marble that was transported from Rajasthan (500 miles away). The whole building and the ...

Not a place to forget

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

It was 1998 when I went to India, and I honestly have to say it was the best eye opening experience of my lie. It is just an excellent place to visit, some the scenes are just breath-taking. It was an organised tour 14 days and cost us £500-00 for air-flight and an extra £130 or board which included meals. We did take some spending money and our money exchanged for rupees, with the pound being strong we got a good price, and we had quite a lot o ...
...Taj Mahl to Bombay itself. What I learnt really quickly that there were two countries in this world. One was the poor areas, the inner slums and the other was the luxurious five star treatment available if you had the money. I think we were somewhere in between. Seeing the sun rise in the morning was really something. However, remember to take some sun cream with you as it can get very hot and at mid day at times unbearable. The people are friendly ...

My trip to the Taj Mahal

Advantages: The sheer beauty of the mausoleum.
Disadvantages: None

It had been my dream to go to the Taj Mahal for so long. Its sheer beauty seemed to grab a hold of me everytime I saw a picture of it. My eyes were fixated and I found myself unable to tear myself away from the different pictures I came across. I desperately wanted to see the amazing mausoleum for real. Soon my time came as my family had decided to visit the North of India in order to see Agra, Jaipur and Delhi. I was so excited at this prospect ...
...for the Taj Mahal. When the day finally came for us to visit it, my cousins and I decided that we would close our eyes before entering the grounds so that the first thing we saw was the tomb in all its glory, not blocked by obstacles. The streets were so dusty and the weather was muggy. Despite feeling lethargic due to the sweltering heat, we carried on regardless. Once we had paid for our ticket, we walked into the grounds, our parents guiding us ...
