    Advantages Advantages World Heritage Site, beautiful, impressive, must see, etc.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Crowds, conmen, oppressive atmosphere

    There have been few occasions in my life when I have felt envious of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, but the day I visited the Taj Mahal was one of them. A celebrated photograph shows her sitting alone in front of the world-famous edifice, which was built as a monument to love, its grounds having been cleared for her visit. The photo was widely interpreted at the time, just after the collapse of her marriage, as a moving testament to her solitude. Queuing among the crowds around the entrance to the Taj, fending off the beggars and touts, I could only interpret it as a moving testament to ... more

    Advantages Advantages An unforgettable experience

    The Magnificent Taj Mahal. I know my words will never match the beauty or depth of feelings aroused when you actually are standing in front of the Taj Mahal but I hope that I can convey a little about it to help you understand how what a real wonder it is and how significant this building is. This is probably the most famous place in India and is the one place that most people would conjure up in their minds when asked about India. The incredible and awesome Taj Mahal. How and why it was built. It follows one of the most incredible but sad love stories of all time. Shahjahan the Mogul Emperor ... more

    Advantages Advantages ROMANCE

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time your first view for the less crowded times.

    After reading several reviews I thought it is time to recall our visit to the Taj which is from memory so may be sketchey on detail, but there is all the necessary historical facts on other very good reviews , so this is just an old lovers memories. Jane (My very own Queen Mumtaz Mahal) and I were coming up to our Silver Wedding Aniversery in March 1995, so we wanted a very special destination for a Holiday to celebrate, we both had a hankering for India so a two week Holiday was booked to Goa with a mini tour included of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. (The Golden Triangle). We had 7 Nights in Goa ... more

    Advantages Advantages A beautiful attraction

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A potentially stressful experience

    Although the Taj Mahal is breathtaking and beautiful, my review of it is not positive. This is because of the immense stress I felt while visiting this beautiful tourist attraction. Although my parents are both Indian, I spent all of my years in Britain until finally visiting India with them in 2007. We mostly stayed in the Punjab, but we also travelled to Agra, outside Delhi, to see the Taj Mahal, which we were all very excited about. When we got there, we were told at the entrance that we couldn't take any drinks into the area with us, so we gave up our water bottles despite the stifling 40 ... more
