Must-visit places and experiences
The Taj is Agra’s main moment, especially at sunrise when the dome turns pale pink and the Yamuna sits quietly behind it.
Agra Fort is a full-on Mughal power zone with massive gates, red sandstone corridors, and palace sections that make you understand how important Agra was.
Mehtab Bagh is the chilled-out Taj experience. It sits across the river, so you get wide views without fighting the main Taj crowds.

Travel guides, tips, and stories
To experience the Mughal era at Taj Mahotsav 2026, visit Shilpgram between February 18 and 27. The festival opens with a grand procession of decorated elephants and camels that mirrors royal traditions. Wander through stalls of marble inlay and zardozi embroidery before enjoying evening qawwalis that echo the soulful music of the past. This ten-day carnival brings the history of the Taj to life through art and flavor.
Taj Mahotsav runs for ten days each February at Shilpgram near the Taj Mahal, bringing artisans, performers, and regional food from across India. Visitors watch marble inlay, embroidery, pottery, and weaving in real time, attend folk and classical shows, and experience Agra as a living craft city shaped by skill, tradition, and everyday makers.
Agra is known for marble inlay work, leather goods, and handicrafts. Buy from fixed-price shops or reputed stores to avoid overpricing.
