Marvellous piece of Architecture. In India there many places with great architecture. This monument is worth visiting. Better to book online tickets and avoid long queue. Early morning is best time to visit less crowded and peaceful. Drinking water is available inside gate no need to carry bottles avoid plastic.

Here, you will get the image of the monument reflected on the water. However, it is a crowded spot so you have to wait for your turn to be able to position here, and quickly take your shots once you're in front as others also want to be in this prime spot.

Cherish your moment there, an iconic heritage site. No wonder it's among the wonders. Go to the site during proper day light and spend time till evening to enjoy the sunset moment. The normal entry ticket costs 50 per head, whereas to the podium it will be 150. Of course it's worth visiting and look at the artworks from close eye distance. Keep your token handy, as it is required while exit.

As expected a truly incredible experience. It was magnificent and worth hiring a guide to explore the entire area. Recommend using the restroom before entering the grounds as they are very limited there and not great. Make sure to look at the detail In the marble with all of the exotic stone inlays (by hand) in the dome.

Always a stunning place to look upon, with a mesmerizing and breathtaking view, no matter how many times you have visited. Recently, a main mausoleum ticket has been introduced, costing ₹150. For those visiting for the first time, they might consider buying the ticket, but I suggest not to. There's nothing inside worth spending an extra ₹150 for , the main entry ticket is for ₹50 (also don't buy those shoes cover outside, you can get them for free at the main mausoleum entry and you only need them for main mausoleum )

How can you not visit one of the 7 Wonders of the World?! This palace is simply amazing and beautiful. I have no words for this beautiful structure. Beyond its beauty, there is a powerful story of the history, involving family, murder, imprisonment, death, and memorial after death. Despite seeing a lot of other visitors there, it didn’t feel crowded. And once you entered inside to see the replica of the tombs, you entered in single file that seemed to move along quickly. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and overall it was fairly clean. Getting back was a trip! Waiting for the golf cart transport with the other visitors, there was no proper order or manners-so you gotta be quick if you want a seat on the transport back!

It is just phenomenal when you look up-front...... It is even more beautiful when you look up close. The pictures can never define it's beauty. It is truly one hell of a wonder.... And we went at the golden hour .... The sunset made it look even more magnificent.... Ps: Don't visit on Friday as it remains closed on Fridays

I don't think there's anything new I can add to its praise. It's a wonder for a reason. It's good to avail a tour guide to understand how awesome this monument is. A few tips would be to buy shoe covers only if you were to visit the museum inside Taj and if bought online tickets would be discounted by 5 Rs. Preferably visit in the early morning to avoid crowds.

No matter how many times you have visited this wonderful monument, every time it feels so different and so amazing and it really would be a monumental regret of your life to not have visited this monument once in your lifetime. It's like this monument has a life of its own and you too will feel it when you are near to it. No wonder why many dream of visiting this wonder everyday. I wish I get a chance to visit this beauty again!

No doubt it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. Spectacular, Beauty created with great architectural skills. Hire a guide there and you will get so much more to know. It will take around 1hour 30 minutes for a full tour with a guide. It has been created so thoughtfully ages ago that you can't imagine. The symmetry in architecture, the 2D designing giving 3D illusions, the carvings of gems and the way they glow in light, I was so amused to see all that which I didn't know earlier. I admire the beauty but more than that the architectural skills. Must visit atleast once in a lifetime..

Well managed but for the first timers, it can be tricky to take autos from the car parking as autos are only allowed till a certain point. It is best to take government run battery buses from parking to entry point. From there just a 2 minute walk and one can buy entry tickets before getting in the queue. A big racket and ruckus about shoe covers, so please buy them in advance !

Very nice maintained world heritage monument. Recommended to arrive at Taj early morning from 5:30 - 6:00 am when the queue is not there. Wheelchair are available free. Battery cars take you from the parking for a nominal fee of Rs 20/- per person.

Historical Monument of India and one of the seven wonders of the world. It is still charming though many years have passed. There is brilliance and accuracy in every portion of the monument. The area is taken care very well. The garden is Maintained well. There are plenty of visitors visiting each and every day from different places and countries. Thanks to the authorities for the timely maintenance and protection given to it.

Nice and impressive building. We couldn’t make the most of it due to the fog during the 2 days we stayed in Agra. So crowed. The access to the building from the city is a chaos. This should be considered and improved for one of the wonders of the world.

It’s a must visit destination in india It is an architectural marvel and an enduring symbol of love. Its stunning white marble facade, intricate carvings, and symmetrical gardens attract millions of visitors annually. While some may find it crowded, its historical significance and breathtaking beauty make it a must-visit destination. However, preservation efforts are essential to maintain its grandeur for future generations. I would recommend hiring a guide as it will help you in entry and will click your good pics as they know the trending pics also

Visited my first ‘7th Wonder of The World’ and I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it was. We had a guide who was very knowledgeable about all aspects. There are a lot of vendors who try to sell you items which are probably not authentic. Don’t fall for the photographers too who will charge you an arm and a leg. A must see!

What can I say. Probably the most perfect building in the world. A must visit if in India. Been lucky to have seen it twice now. Wow. Never fails to impress. Would recommend you hire a guide to get full experience and history. The architecture is near perfect - I’ll leave it to you to spot the minor imperfection. The grounds are immaculate and the whole atmosphere is transcendal. I can’t think of another site on this planet with a richer atmosphere.

Once in a life time, Must Watch One of the 7th Wonder in the World

Very nice place feeling is good. Absolutely stunning and marvelous; must-see in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long for you (40 hours for me to get here from Florida) it is worthwhile getting to see this fantastic structure. I highly recommend you pay for a guided tour as it will be educational and efficient. The great photography was a bonus! Indescribable the setting and the architecture as well as the love story here. Hire a local photographer for their digital copy then you don’t have to worry about getting nice photos. They know the nice shots for you. You could get a paper copy as a choice. Go to the other side across the river as well to see from a different view. It looks different depending on the time of day.Spectacular! Great history and amazing architecture! Must see whilst visiting North India. Absolutely loved it. Although if you are non Indian tourist, you have to be careful with local tour guides and shop owners not to try to charge you few times more for services and items.

Title: One of the seven Wonders of the world. Reason: It's epic construction and the detailing done on it. Suggestion: Must go in your lifetime but it's worthwhile for a one time visit only.

A very nice location with good vibes. It is one of the greatest locations in the world, and you should see it at some point in your lifetime. Even if the journey is long, you should consider taking a guided tour. It is an amazing structure to see. The great photography was an unexpected bonus! The location, architectural design, and the love story are incredible. You can hire a local photographer to obtain high-quality pictures. They will help you take pictures of your choice. You can also purchase a hard copy. You can look at it from another perspective by crossing the river. It is different at various times of day. It is an amazing history and an amazing structure! It is something that can be appreciated while visiting North India. It was marvelous. While it may be hard for non-Indian tourists to find local guides and shopkeepers who will not try to overcharge them for services and items, it is very worthwhile.

One of the 7 wonders of the world for a reason and that reason can only be experienced and not explained. This was my 2nd visit and once again got mesmerized by its beauty, salute to efforts put into carvings. the gems and stones used glitters in sunlight even after 400 years. Must visit place. Highly recommended!!

I would say after seeing it with your own eyes only you will understand why it has been included into the list of world wonders. It is really really beautiful. Very huge, Majestic, Architectural and engineering Marvel. I have never seen something so beautiful and elegant. Hope you like the pictures that I have captured. You can watch the complete vlog on "Shiva Asal Vlog"

Lived up to it's expectation as a wonder of the world. The story behind the mausoleum is very sad but demonstrated a different world. We went on the anniversary of the kings death which meant we could see extra things and this was lucky for us! Stunning!

Insanely beautiful and awe inspiring. The love story is also beautiful and tragic. Sunrise viewing was stunning, and walking around enabled tourist free photos. Highly recommend life changing experience.

Have never seen anything as beautiful as this monument. Recommend recommend recommend. Pro Tip : do take a guide. Their story telling makes Taj even more beautiful and intriguing. There are good English/ Hindi/ Russian/ Spanish speaking ones.

It's a beautiful place and a beautiful structure. The view of yamuna is amazing on the backside, properly maintained and garden view is also great. A must visit place with friends or family. Just one thing which was not okay that washrooms are not properly maintained other than that it's a great area and great place. I really enjoyed being there 👍🏻

What can I say, it's the most amazing place I have ever visited. The story behind the Taj Mahal and the craftsmanship is incredible. I went as part of a tour, I would definitely recommend getting a tour guide as they can tell you all about the history. We got there just before 8am and there were no wait times at all and this was a Saturday. There are photographers who will take your picture if you want them to but otherwise your tour guide will know all of the best spots to have them. I truly hope I get to visit again!

What to say about Taj!! Timeless, stunning and breathtakingly beautiful.. Do hire a govt authorised guide and explore this place. Visit in early morning hours and see this marvel in the golden hour.. It opens at 6 am. Its worth the efforts.. Would like to come here again and again❤️

Without a doubt, the beauty of this place takes your breath away. It's recommended to go at dawn to see the sun rise there. Just be prepared to be patient because it's very crowded, and everyone wants to take photos too. I bought the tickets on the official India website, and it was quite easy; you don't need to go with a guide. You can read all about the place before, during, or after. Make sure to buy the entrance to the place along with the mausoleum. There's a long list of things you can't bring in; try to go with just your phone, wallet, and nothing else if possible

The Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, made a powerful first impression with its immense size. Photographs simply can't capture its true scale. Seeing it in person left me in awe. Having read about it since childhood, standing before it felt surreal. Its beauty is incredible and absolutely worth experiencing. This historic monument is stunning, and words cannot fully convey its magnificence. Definitely make the trip to visit the Taj Mahal.

Don't hire photographers and guides. Service not good. They'll eat your money. Instead take your own camera. Peta sweet is very famous here but again bargain. Ask rates in 3-4 shops and then buy. Of course an iconic place. Enjoy

Absolutely beautiful. We arrived just before sunrise, spent 3 hours there (max. time allowed per ticket) and of course it was a highlight of our trip. No queues at 5 am (on a weekday) to buy the tickets or entry. Staff were wide awake and helpful. A free bottle of water and shoe covers are given free. You will be approached by guides and professional photographers, a polite refusal is fine. Carry as little as possible in your bag to get through security smoothly. Watch out for the monkeys in the outer compound. Once inside the main area, amateur photographers will try to guide you to the best photo spots and take pictures for you with your phone. We had a little old man do it for us (free at first, he never asked for money) at first we reluctantly accepted his help, and were SO glad we did. He knew all the best spots and angles. He took awesome pics and short videos so at the end we tipped him gladly. Inside the mausoleum was worth the extra admission. The attendants inside will suck you in with rapid fire information, then ask for a tip. There is a museum to the left of the main area but it only opens at 9am. It was an effort to get up so early but well worth it to avoid the crowds and see the magnificent Taj Mahal in the early morning light. Pity about the fountains and ponds being empty. Some renovation and getting them working would have made the main area even more magical and created a nice cooling effect. But this was a small thing. We were so glad we came.

Place is seems to be good when it comes to architecture. Needs to take care of by government more than before. Entry ticket is 50 rs for outer red stones but you you have to take 250 tocket if you want to walk on white marble. Yes you can take wheelchair services. No need to carry bags and extra carry. Just deposit to lockers. Huge parking is there and 500 mt walk from parking to taj entry. Yes there is washroom inside at the right corner of this property. Friday is closed.

7th wonder of the world! A busy tourist place. Beautiful monument with a sad history . Tourist guides and photographers are available. Tourists should bargain with them . Some have propensity to cheat. Online booking helps to skip lines. We visited at around 2 pm on a weekday. It was not so busy. It took us around 1 hour to see the entire monument. Security is tight here. Tourists are not allowed to carry big bags . Only small bag with water bottles, purse etc is allowed.

the one of the wonder monuments which we must visit at least once in our life. It's truly a world wonder. Try to visit at opening time , so we can avoid being too crowded and have a peaceful atmosphere.

Taj Mahal itself is a very magnificent place to visit. Unfortunately, the way to go there (the pathway from East Gate smells of pee. Plus once you arrive, a lot of tour guides will follow you and keep insisting you to take them as your guide, even if you already said no so many times. It really ruined the mood. And the vibes of the place. It should be a magical place because a part of the world wonders, but too many local people who always push to offer something (guides, photographer, postcard etc) will really annoy tourists who are already tired from walking and the honks from the road, and want to just enjoy the place. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a more organized system for the guides and photographers.

A historical fort having incredible architecture and ambience. A vast area of fort is with Indian Defence. Better to visit the fort with a Guide who can explain the historical aspects of the fort. The entrance, ambience, Courtyards and other structures are really grand. The red stone and marbles used for construction of the fort, give a royal feeling.

Agra Fort is one of the largest forts in India. We are only allowed to explore 20% of the area. And yet, those 20% are already big enough for us to explore, which is remarkable 🤩 And yes, it's a very nice place for a photo shoot 📸 We booked a tour guide in advance, and it was worth every penny as they told us the story and history of the Agra Forts and more. Tips: Do wear comfy shoes, t-shirts, bring small towel and mineral water. Avoid visiting in the afternoon as it will be getting hot there.

The Agra Fort is one of the biggest forts in India. While the exterior is impressive, there isn't much to see inside. However, the walls and rooms are in good condition and well maintained. If you're interested in learning about the rich history of this place, you can hire a guide available at the entry gate. Tickets can also be purchased online for your convenience. Exploring the fort with a knowledgeable guide will enhance your experience and appreciation of its historical significance.

We went on a weekday in the evening and it was very crowded, it take more than 20 minutes to enter completing the ticket checking. The fort is beautiful and huge. Once you enter you get to take beautiful pics, considering it's huge, people scatter quickly and we get a peaceful view but don't expect too much of peace 😂

The Agra Fort is a must-visit for its rich history, stunning architecture, and cultural significance. It offers a glimpse into India's heritage with its intricate designs, museums, and captivating sound and light show. Accessible and informative, it's an ideal destination for history and architecture enthusiasts alike. Overall Clean and beautiful place. There will be crowd while purchasing tickets, but still worth to wait , as when you get inside you will be pleased. A must-visit for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in exploring India's cultural heritage and also it is easily accessible by public transport and offers guided tours for visitors. It has facilities like information centers, restrooms, and souvenir shops, making the visit convenient and informative.

Must visit for every history lover! What a stunning fort!! Do hire a authorised guide while exploring this place. Then the experience of viewing this historical fort will be different.. Every stone has a tale to tell here..

Mugal monument with lovely architecture and garden. Huge area and every nuke and corner is filled with Sand stone and Marvel work. Garden are maintained beautifully. During winter gardens are mesmerizing. You can spend hours there but won't feel bore. Nice place for photography.

If you like walking in historical buildings or place then this is the best place for you. Very heavy work has been done on it and very beautiful flowers and leaves have been made on its walls. Because the fort of Agra is very big, so during its journey you may get very tired but you will also have a lot of fun.

One of the best fort in India. The architecture of the fort is very beautiful due to presence of red rocks. We have to walk for 40-60minutes to cover entire area inside. Security checking is there in the entrance. Carry bags are not allowed inside. Locker facility is available near to the entrance. Always preferred to go in winter or in monsoon season.

Great place to visit. Can see the mugal emperors judging court,rooms,balcony,masjid etc...Guide is needed to understand all these. If they written all the information all people can understand every place' purpose easily. There is no good food/hotel available outside the Fort.

The places is very well preserved. You might not need a guide if you read about the place beforehand and keep a map of the fort handy. Keep an umbrella if you’re visiting in summers, it gets really hot. Tickets are cheap, like ₹40 or something. Beware of Auto-rickshaw-wallas, they’ll try to trick you into paying a lot if you aren’t careful.

This is one of the biggest fort in a India about 70 acres now a days just a 20% of the fort is open for visitors. Entry fees is 35 rupee if you book online ticket. It's good if you have a guide with you he told you each and everything like a story inside there is a lots of mahal and garden if you want to visit then must carry water with you for exploring all fort min 2 hours you required. If you plan to visit this must come with family it's one of the memorable trip.

Very beautiful fort. Must visit. I prefer taking a guide every time i visit a historical place. It gives me knowledge of why the place is designed in such way or hidden places and much more history.. I would recommend the same to others. But only take government authorized guide. General charges to guide are 450 to 500 approximately or written on board sometimes.

Wow, just awesome. It's located right in front of Agra fort railway station. Auto and taxi ride are very cheap, but they will trick into booking hotels, going to good restaurants or buying pethas. They all work on commission, never fall into their trap. There are many palaces in the fort, you will surely enjoy it.

Entry fee 50rs relay beautiful. You can bargain for a guide up to 200rs 20rs soft copy photography. Require a lot of time if you want to visit the whole place as it is a pretty huge lot of buildings. With historic meaning.

The red fort of Agra is just amazing as it was shown in movies. The story of Red fort will just kept you bound. The beauty of this monument is mesmerizing. The fort is so big, it is divided in to multiple sections according to the kings name. Every little corner is actually designed so calculatively. If you see a single pillar, then also you will feel the art and work they have done over here. If you are visiting it, then you should go for guide also. They will tell you the details of every single corner. It was an amazing experience.

Amazing place to see.Combination of Hindu & Islamic Culture. It's a huge fort. Highly maintained. The architecture, the vibe will take you in the ancient times. Ticket Available online. You should definitely visit here once if you are in Agra.

Thankfully it has been well preserved. Unfortunately, there are no signs to direct movement of visitors. The information boards are very brief and lack details. It would be beneficial if historical information of each structure/building is displayed.

Once you go inside u feel like what you are is next to impossible but trust me when u see it. It's very nice and large fort, very well maintained and very clean too like a newly built. Lots and lots of foreign tourists everywhere getting amazed what they are seeing....

Best place to see in Agra. Exterior is impressive and so does the internal parts of the fort. Eighty percent of the fort area is under the control of Army rest twenty percent is open for visitors. Hiring a guide is recommended as they will tell you about the history and architectural features of this fort.

No caption is required for this place. It is the Agra Fort. The great Fort was built by Mughals during their dynasty. Childhood dreams were fulfilled. Please bring your family members & enjoy this historical place. You will be amazed with their thinking, planning, and architect. Posting a few photos for my beloved friends. Detail whereabouts this place is easily available from online.

No need to describe this place for anyone. The sheer massiveness of this place and the story attached with it is enough to make you visit this place. It's a wonder how people with no modern technology built such huge forts and it's still standing. The fort is open everyday. You can visit the fort at any time. The fort opens at 6 in the morning. You can buy an online ticket before hand if you like. But this place doesn't get that crowded so you can choose to opt for buying tickets at the counter also. It's rs 50 per person for Indians. If you want to know about the place in detail you can opt for guides. But bargain with them as the rates can be very steep at times. Being there makes you think about the historic events that have happened there.

Very beautiful. I have visited on Friday and the rush was less. Easily you can spend 1-2 hrs exploring the entire fort. Some of the part of the fort are under maintenance which were closed. Entry fee for Indians is 50 and foreigner is 650.

Excellent example Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty till 1638. Great ambience but there is some restrictions but all over the view was great 👌👌👌

Nicely preserved fort, with structures from red sandstone and white marble. It is pretty big so avoid visiting in the scorching heat. Preferably carry water bottles. Also it is recommended to avail services of the tour guides to streamline the trip to the fort.

One of the famous tourist attractions of Agra, The Agra Fort is a masterpiece of its own. Made up of red stone, this place is huge. Probably the best time to visit Agra fort is in the winter/Rainy season. Agra being hot, you will not be able to enjoy this gem of a place. Buy tickets online to avoid the queue and carry a water bottle or 2 because it is huge and might take you 3-4 hours just to see this place. Parking facility was also available nearby

An absolute must visit, you can walk around all day and enjoy the different sights. Unique architecture, lots of details and so much to see. I recommend really taking your time here and investigating every corner. There are plenty of great picture opportunities as well. Play with the squirrels as well!

This place is Marvelous, and their architectural complex is too elegant to believe. If you want to visit this place , I recommend you try to go on Friday because of tickets are free on Friday and rest day it's cost is 60 rupees

This was a cool experience and really neat to hear the stories around the fort. For not much you can hire a guide to walk you through the full experience of it. It’s worth taking the time to fully understand all of the history and what it’s about. It was very busy the Saturday we went.

Public Transit Accessibility: Cab will be best. But in some days Metro will be live Entry Fee: 40rs (for Indians) / for foreigners it differs Value for Money: Yes Kids Friendly: Yes Parking: Yes (both car and bike) Drinking Water: Yes Toilet: Yes Comment from my experience: We easily spend 2hrs. It gave good Vibes to see old ideas. Best place for photoshoots. Please avoid taking personal guides and photographers.

Great historical place and very well maintained. highly recommend a guided tour for this one as they tell you each and every details who’d are relevant . Kindly buy water bottles in advance and also there is a person who lets you hold squirrels in the hand and feed them

Its huge. 🤌🏻 You need approx 2hrs to finish the entire tour! Beautiful fort I've ever seen way better than Jaipur's forts! ❤️✨ Though they should maintain and preserve angoori garden more, can plant trees there tor restore the beauty.

The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has such a rich history. It was fascinating to explore the beautiful palaces, courtyards, and intricate architecture. We will be able to see the stunning views of the Taj Mahal from there.

Wandering through the Majestic Agra Fort, a stunning example of Mughal architecture that reflects India's rich history. The massive red sandstone walls 🏰 and intricate carvings on every surface tell stories of a grand past. . From the towering Amar Singh Gate to the detailed artistry on the walls, the blend of Islamic, Persian, and Indian styles creates a visual feast. . As a photographer 📸, capturing these timeless details feels like stepping back into history, showcasing the fort's grandeur and intricate beauty. . In Agra’s embrace, a fortress stands high, A canvas of history beneath the vast sky. Red walls and carvings, tales etched in stone, Whispers of an era, in every groove shown.

It was such an experience finally to have seen the enormous Fort. It is captivating and relatable to the grandness and history of India. Worth every penny of the 600 rupees as a foreigner. Lots of scope to try out photography skills. A good 2 hours is easy to see most areas. Calm and welcoming and memorable.

Don't visit at noon. The evening will be the greatest time to visit the fort. You may take drinking water with you but not other food items. If u have a bag then there is a locker room. I would suggest not to take anything along with you. It closes by 5.40 and sometimes they open till 6 Pm. The view of the Taj Mahal from the fort is incredible!

Well mai jab yahan aaaya tha tab sirf 40% hi tourists ke liye allowed tha 60% was not allowed to explore due to reasons like construction, privacy, legalities, danger etc mai pagal tha jo Taj Mahal dekh kr ye dekhne aya tha Bhai ye 40% ke liye bhi tumko pura din Dena padega warna thak ke mere jaisa haal ho jayega; aur most imp yaha 5 litre Pani sath leke chalna meri vaat lag gayi thi Pani ke chakkar me. Well fort ke baare tarif jeetni bhi kare Kam hi padegi so ye sab chhodke info dekho 👇👇👇 The Agra Fort (Qila Agra) is a historical fort in the city of Agra, and also known as Agra's Red Fort. Mughal emperor Humayun was crowned at this fort in 1530. It was later renovated by the Mughal emperor Akbar from 1565 and the present-day structure was completed in 1573. It served as the main residence of the rulers of the Mughal dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. It was also known as the "Lal-Qila" or "Qila-i-Akbari".[1] Before being captured by the British, the last Indian rulers to have occupied it were the Marathas. In 1983, the Agra fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its importance during the Mughal Dynasty.[2] It is about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 mi) northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city. It was later renovated by Shah Jahan.

It is a must visit, It has alot of history and artefacts are beautiful. I would recommend hire a guide as he/she will tell you alot of stuff. Guide will make it more interesting for you and it should not be missed while visiting Agra.

Agra Fort! It's absolutely amazing! The architecture is stunning, and the history behind it is so fascinating. I loved exploring the different palaces and courtyards. It's definitely a must-visit if you're in Agra! 🏰✨

1.Must visit place in Agra have a ticket amount of just 30 rupees. 2. Have usually very less crowded place 3. Good place to spend quality time. 4. If you are interested in History must visit place the design on place is mesmerizing.

A very lesser known historical monuments in vicinity of Agra fort in the heart of Agra city. The monument is actually a tomb which is still very intact. The place is kept quite neat and clean and is very well maintained. This monument is taken care by Archaeological Survey of India, Agra circle. Hats off.

You can visit this place and cover Methab bagh after this, this place is really fit for its name "baby taj". Just scan the code and enter the premises. Less crowded place and nice white marble architecture, just preserve these monuments have respect for these architecture and landscape. Enjoy your trip to Agra.

This tomb was built by Noor Jahan for her Father and Mother. It is situated at river Yamuna. This building is constructed in white marble with beautiful inlay work and surrounded by majestic landscape garden charbagh.

Historical structure with shinning white marble, The Real masterpiece of domeless class. Whenever you visit the place you are amazed with the architecture and grandeur of the place. Place is well maintained with green surroundings and with proper cleanling. Good place to spends hours easily over here... Suggest everyone must visit ,whenever they come 👌

Really one of the underestimated monument of agra....and if you are interested in the architecture of mughal era this monument has very good and delicate carvings(pietra dura). Must visit and observe this rich heritage

At a distance of 8 km from Agra Cantonment Railway Station and 3 km from Agra Fort, Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum located on the western bank of the Yamuna River near the Yamuna Bridge Railway Station in Agra. The tomb is also known as the Jewel Box or Baby Taj as it looks like a smaller version of the Taj Mahal. It is one of the popular tourist places in agra. This historical monument is quite beautiful but sadly not maintained at all. Agra Tourism Department and ASI which charges tourist should really do some serious maintenance work. Only extremely positive point was the monument details were also put there in Braille. Only tourist spot where this was done in Agra...

Also known as Baby Taj. As the name indicates, the structure shows some iconic features of Tajmahal. The view from the 4 sides of this building is same as the front. Rear gate opens upto the river. Very calm and beautiful atmosphere. Near to Agra fort. To avoid entering with food items, strict bag checking done at entry gate .

Itmad-ud-Daulla in Agra, known as "Mini Taj Mahal," is a small gem. Its detailed architecture rivals the Taj Mahal. The calm atmosphere and history make it a must-visit. This hidden treasure gives an intimate experience, perfect for those who want Mughal splendor on a smaller scale. A delightful addition to the Agra itinerary.

Baby Taj 💖 Seeing this was equally as stunning as the Taj - it’s less crowded, calmer and a definite To Do. I could’ve sat here all day and just looked at the intricate artwork. The tiles - the patterns - the colours 😍 I still can’t believe how they built these amazing buildings 😍 Just wow - incredible 😍

This is open from sunrise to sunset. It is made up of white marble so some say it as a mini Taj Mahal and it has four doors. Back door is facing Yamuna river and the view is beautiful. You can sit here and enjoy the view. The art work on marble is beautiful and amazingly well done. Inside this, there are 4-5 graves are there which are present in four different corners of this monument. Rest this place is beautifully maintained by authorities.

The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula is dedicated to Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the father of Nur Jahan. Itimad-ud-Daula was his title. This mausoleum situated on the banks of river Yamuna was constructed in 1626_28 AD. There are many things in this mausoleum, known as Baby Taj, which were later adopted while making the Taj Mahal. People say that at many places the carvings here look more beautiful than the Taj Mahal. Another attraction of this mausoleum is its dome made in the Central Asian style. The gardens and paths here enhance its beauty even more. This mausoleum is the first mausoleum built in India which was made entirely of white marble. Pictures of trees, plants, animals and birds are engraved on its walls. Here and there the pictures of men can also be seen which is a strange thing because in Islam it is forbidden to use human beings as an object of decoration. Because of its beauty, this tomb is known as the Jewel Box.

We visited here during our 2 day weekend visit to Agra. I would suggest you to add this to must visit monuments. We had very pleasant time here as you will not find too much crowd here as compared to Taj Mahal. You will not need any guide here, you can just explore the beauty of the monument on your own. You can buy the tickets on the counter.

Itmad-ud-Daula, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," is a gem of Mughal architecture nestled along the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. This exquisite mausoleum holds historical significance as the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, for whom the Taj Mahal was built. You must visit this place whenever you are in Agra. Most of the people forget to visit this place. If you are a photo lover, you must take some time to take videos and photos. The whole place is accessible. Wheelchairs are available at the ticket counter at free of cost.

To be honest I found this to me more ornate and exotic compared to the Taj Mahal. This has great examples of geometric pattern ornate inlays. Do miss this gem . This one one of the main highlights for me in Agra. Follow me for travel tips on Insta @shivoham.08

The Taj Mahal was inspired by Itmad-ud-daula , 30rs ticket. Along with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628, represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and Akbar's tomb in Sikandra – to its second phase, based on white marble . Located on the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The tomb is a must visit , less crowded, parking facilities available.

Best thing about this place is that it is a better option than Taj Mahal - less crowded, better view, serene and green. Just that it's not that maintained may be because less people visit it and more contribute to the crowd of Taj Mahal. Before going there, make sure to book tickets in advance online. Costs just 20 bucks.

Good place for rest in sunny hot day .....It is also a good place to see the Taj Mahal from the river side

Mehtab Bagh offers a serene escape with stunning views of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River. Its mesmerising gardens and tranquil ambiance provide the perfect setting for relaxation and photography. The Taj Mahal at sunset from Mehtab Bagh is an unforgettable experience. This is a good place to visit if you’re planning for Agra.

Garden was not maintained, But definitely a good view of Taj Mahal. Nice place for a photoshoot as this place was not that crowded and nice backdrop of Taj Mahal. You’ll have to buy online ticket here. Some small stalls are also there outside the garden to buy cold drinks or packet food.

Translated as 'Moonlight Garden' it is located across the Yamuna river directly opposite to the Taj Mahal. It's construction has been attributed to both Babur & further beautified by Shah Jehan. When I visited in March 2017, the flowerbeds were being readied for planting. Very few if the available plants & trees were flowering at that time, but one can imagine what the garden would be like in full bloom. Both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort are visible from here. For some reason many businesses in the North usurp the names of popular places to enhance their business This is a review dir MEHTAB GARDEN

Its a beautiful garden with a good view, you can take a walk in this touristic place and enjoy spectacular Taj Mahal view, it is located across the river. If you have a good zoom camera, you can watch the details of Taj mahal from distance.

First time I visited in 2016, and last visited in Sep 2022. I feel, the view of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab bagh is very different and you will feel the love for the monument and will enjoy the moment. I have visited Mehtab bagh twice but still I can go multiple times in different seasons.

Hmm .. There is nice landscaping and view of Taj mahal from this garden apart from that there is nothing

You can get the best view of taj from here. Its not crowded and the best time to visit mehtab bagh is sunset...

Coming from Garden City myself I wasn't impressed at all with the garden. What floored me was that I got my first glimpse of Taj Mahal from here, and it was mind blowing. Got a few good clicks here.

Best place to enjoy tajmahal view during sunset.The calmness of the gardens & the sounds of birds all around, make the place magical.lots of local birds in the garden.less crowdy. Well maintained garden.we can sit in the garden for long time without any disturbance. Tickets was 25rs per head.no waiting line.Wheelchair accessible entrance is there.The garden is also called moon garden, as tajmahal is best seen during full moon from this garden.

Best spot to capture the view of Taj Mahal from the other side of the river. You'd feel like being on the other side of Effel Tower, looking at the structure. Come before sunset so you get to see different colors of Taj Mahal with the reflection of various sunlight. The garden itself is also very parky. Private vehicles are not allowed.

A beautiful well arranged garden and a great romantic spot to watch and admire the beauty of tajmahal from the banks of yamuna.

Don't go there. Its a waste of time. Visit only if the weather allows or pleasant! Garden isn't even maintained properly. The only crowd is for taj mahal view and photography!

Great views of Tajmahal. The place where a black Taj Mahal would’ve been constructed if Aurangazeb didn’t imprison Shah Jahan. Agra Development Authority has constructed another View point, both have the same views. The parking is little far from the Garden and tickets are available online until 45 mins before sunset. The park is closed after sunset. The area is little shady afterwards. So better plan your logistics beforehand. I luckily got an auto but otherwise it would’ve been riskier.

When we went to see the Taj Mahal on Friday, we came to know that it would be closed..then a tourist told us that you can see the Taj Mahal from the beautiful garden..we were very happy to see the Taj from there

A beautiful well arranged garden and a great romantic spot to watch and admire the beauty of tajmahal from the banks of yamuna. I went in winters and hence river was all dried up. And there were no flowers. In the season m sure, it would be spectacular. Loads a loads of amla/indian gooseberry trees are here. Ticket is 20₹ and no food is allowed inside. If you carry any food, they will keep it in with them and will return it once you leave the bagh. From the parking area, no car is allowed to go further. It’s 5/10 min walk. Battery rickshaw also works which charges 10₹ per head.

MUST VISITED SPOT.... With out watching this place Taj Mahal view is incomplete...

Recommended Visit if you are in Agra. Mehtab Bagh (also called. 'Moonlight Garden') is a charbagh complex in Agra, North India. It lies north of the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort on the opposite side of the Yamuna River. The garden complex is perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal on the opposite bank. During the rainy season, the ground becomes partially flooded. Beautiful and less crowded view of Tajmahal and not to miss the Birds all around. Must visit if you are a nature lover. You can even sit back and relax on ground and mesmerize the beauty of TajMahal.

A trip to Agra is incomplete if you don’t visit Mehtab Baug! But I did not visit Mehtab Baug in my recent visit as I already visited it once. Instead I went for the Taj View Point which offers a more closer view of the Taj Mahal by a meter or 2. Mehtab Baug is a great place to walk around and explore the garden but doesn’t anymore serve it’s purpose of giving a great view of the Taj Mahal

Jama Masjid,Agra is a 17th- Century Congregational mosque built by Jahanara Begum, Padshah Begum (First lady) of the Mughal Empire, during the reign of her father, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is the Principal mosque in the city of Agra, and lies close to Agra Fort.

Jama Masjid at Agra also known as 'Friday Mosque' is a seventeenth-century structure and is one of the largest mosques built by the Mughals in India. Constructed under the reign of Shah Jahan in 1648, Jama Masjid is dedicated to his favourite daughter Jahan Ara Begum. This splendid monument is visible from the Agra Fort with the Agra Fort Railway station right between the two structures. The Jama Masjid is built mainly of red sandstone and white marble that stand as a testimony to the magnificent Mughal architecture. It has a fountain at the centre and is supported by four kiosks in the courtyard. The interior walls have scriptures in the Persian style praising for Shah Jahan and Jahan Ara. The inlaid panels of work here are quite similar to that of Taj Mahal and are common to all the monuments and structures built by the Mughals in Agra. Every Friday, special prayers are conducted at this mosque which is attended by thousands of devotees. The Tomb of Salim Chisti is a part of the mosque compound. Architecture of Jama Masjid Jama Masjid is the second most visited place after in Agra after the Taj Mahal. A few steps high, it has various domes, out of which the prayer dome is the largest. Buland Darwaza is forty meters high and is built of red sandstone. It is semi-octagonal in pattern and contains three massive domes at the top. These domes are followed by three smaller domes and twelve tiny domes at lower levels. The impressive arches at the courtyard are supported by pillars covered in red sandstone. The domes are decorated by an inverted lotus and are ornamented by a Kalash at the top. The designs on top of these domes are made of alternating stripes of marble and red sandstone. There is a Madrasa in the central courtyard, where small kids are taught Islamic language and culture. The interior walls have been made up of white marble singing the praise of the ruler in Persian inscriptions. Entry to the Jama Mosque is possible through five entrances. The gateway is embellished with small layers of sandstone. The Iwan (a rectangular hall walled on three sides) has a central arch with several geometric patterns. History of Jama Masjid The Jama Masjid was built by Shah Jahan for his favourite daughter Jahan Ara Begum. Its construction began in 1648 and took six years to complete with the efforts of five thousand workers. The mosque had a large open area in its front, known as the Tripoli Chowk. This octagonal chowk existed between Jama Masjid and the Delhi Gate of Agra Fort. However, this Chowk was destroyed during 1871-1873, to give room to Agra Fort Railway Station. The gateway otherwise known as the "Buland Darwaza" to the mosque was added after Shah Jahan's comprehensive victory in the Kandesh military campaign. A lot of the engravings are in Persian.

Built in 1560 during the Mughal period in Agra, the Jumma Masjid served both the emperor and the public on Fridays. Princess Jahanara, Shah Jahan's daughter, commissioned its construction, reflecting the rich history of the mosque that stands as a testament to the cultural and architectural legacy of that era.

Gud place to visit, there is a crowded market around it ,as know that agra is hub of shoe ,Here we can see shoe market . It's is Jama masjid is one of the largest mosques in India.

For Biryani lovers :Agra Biryani Hotspot serve the best Biryani nd other dishes so don't forget to try it. Thank you for reading 😀

I walked for 20 minutes from Agra Fort to this mosque, said my prayer, cooled off and enjoyed the beauty of this rather less visited mosque. It was evident from the current state of the mosque that it gets less attention than Delhi Jama Masjid. But to me, it is equally beautiful, the ambience of the area, the little kids reciting the holy Quran at one corner, the shade of mosque in the scorching heat of the sun gave me such relief! But the interior should be maintained properly, the prayer mats were full of dust, flies were everywhere.. The concerned authority can look into it.

The mosque is impressive and beautiful. But some may find the area around little but rough.

I visited this place on a late afternoon. Very less visited and less crowded place. Mosque is quite big, neat and clean. There was peace and positive vibes when I entered here. People were offering prayers, small kabutar Khana was there too. Definitely a beautiful place. But this is located near to station and a local market. Area is over crowded. So visit during morning to avoid market crowd.

One of the biggest mosques of India, the Jama Masjid in Agra is known for its intrinsic designs and unique architecture. The gigantic mosque was built by Shah Jahan. The beautiful designs on the tomb and the red sandstone construction of the mosque with the Islamic architecture. Timings- 6:00 am to 6:00 pm

The Agra Jama Masjid, nestled within the historic Agra Fort, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Mughal Empire. Its proximity to the Agra Fort railway station makes it easily accessible to visitors. This magnificent mosque was crafted under the watchful eye of Jahanara Begum, the First Lady of the Mughal Empire, during the reign of her father, Emperor Shah Jahan. Stepping into the mosque, one is awed by its grandeur and sheer size, earning it a place among India's largest mosques. The historical significance and breathtaking architecture make for an unforgettable experience. However, I couldn't help but notice that some parts of the mosque require maintenance to restore its former glory fully. Despite the need for upkeep, the Agra Jama Masjid offers a captivating view into the past and remains a must-visit for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.

I never visited this place nor i am planning but for some it would be a place of worship. Been mentained by ASI

Built by Jahanara Begum, this mosque must have been a sight to behold from the Agra Fort in its heydays. Today flanked in front by the railway station, it has been surrounded from all sides along the boundry wall by shops. This kind of heritage is expected to be better looked after than this. It is a fully functional mosque even today.

nice place for visitors and silence place for prayer . fountain is looks great

Shish Mahal, which translates to "Palace of Mirrors," is a stunning architectural feature found within various Mughal-era buildings, including palaces, forts, and mosques. Here's more information about Shish Mahal: 1. **Design and Architecture**: Shish Mahal is characterized by its intricate mirror work, which adorns the walls, ceilings, and sometimes even floors of the structure. The mirrors are often set in colorful floral or geometric patterns, creating a dazzling effect when light reflects off them. 2. **Symbolism**: The use of mirrors in Shish Mahal is not merely decorative; it also serves symbolic and functional purposes. Mirrors were believed to reflect the stars and create an illusion of a starlit sky indoors, symbolizing the cosmos and the heavens. Additionally, the reflective surfaces helped to enhance the natural light within the space. 3. **Historical Significance**: Shish Mahals were often used as private chambers or audience halls by Mughal rulers and nobility. These luxurious spaces were where the elite would entertain guests, hold court, or engage in leisure activities. 4. **Examples**: One famous example of Shish Mahal is located within the Lahore Fort in present-day Pakistan. The Shish Mahal in the Lahore Fort was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century and is renowned for its exquisite mirror work and beautiful frescoes. 5. **Other Instances**: Shish Mahals can also be found in other Mughal monuments, including Agra Fort and Red Fort in Delhi. While not as elaborate as the Shish Mahal in Lahore Fort, these structures still showcase the Mughal love for intricate decoration and architectural grandeur. Overall, Shish Mahal represents the pinnacle of Mughal craftsmanship and artistic expression, showcasing the fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles.

It was got constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a part of his Summer Palace. Its walls and ceiling are inlaid with glass mosaic work, that flows in the dark and produces a surreal twinkling and glittering effect in the semi-dark interior of the palace. It is locked and inaccessible to the public as on date...

Sheesh Mahal is one of the architectural wonders inside the Khas Mahal in Agra Fort. It was commonly used as the Summer Palace by the Mughal princes as it was structured in such a way that it kept the Mahal cool from Agra’s heat. Water devices were installed with fountains and a waterfall inside the Palace. It was originally adorned with the finest glass pieces imported from Syria in order to reflect sunlight into the thick palace walls.

Sheesh Mahal is one of the most fabulous structures inside the Agra Fort. Located on the western side of the Musamman Burj (an octagonal tower lying in close proximity to Diwan-i-Khas), it is an incredibly beautiful sight to come across. This structure was one of the many additions made by Shah Jahan. Built between 1631-1640 AD, it also served as the imperial bath of the Emperor. The Mahal is also famous for having extra thick walls which were built to keep the interiors cool and pleasant. But it was close , no one could allow to enter in, only you can see is by the close net door with the help of your phone flashlight.

It was built by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan as a part of summer palace. Its most distinctive feature is glass mosaic work done on its walls and ceiling. These glass pieces have high mirror quality which glittered and twinkled in thousand ways in semi-dark interior. The glass was imported from Haleb of Syria. Shahjahan built glass palace also at Lahore and Delhi, but this is the finest of all.

In the past, this was an imperial bath. Mirrors were used both in its walls and ceilings. When illuminated, they would sparkle the entire hall. However, now, the majority of the mirrors are no longer there. Also, there is a metal barrier so you can only see the hall's interior from outside.

Good View of River and River bank along with a Taj Mahal

Sheesh Mahal, in Urdu language, literally means 'Crystal Palace'. However, with its pietra dura decorations and intricate mirror-work inlaid into the white marble walls and ceilings creating gleaming effect, the lavish room has come to be known as 'Palace of Mirrors', and sometimes the 'Hall of Mirrors'.Declared a World Heritage Monument by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), 75 per cent of the area of Agra Fort is in possession of the Indian Army, closing it for the tourists. In the remaining 25 per cent part, a majority of the monuments have been cordoned off by the ASI now.Within the Shalimar Bagh, Shah Jahan constructed "Sheesh Mahal" (crystal palace). The Shalimar Bagh had witnessed events of historical significance such as in 1658 AD the coronation ceremony of Aurangzeb took place at Sheesh Mahal.

We have visited two beautiful Heritage place in India..The Tajmahal and Agra fort..

Visiting this place is an amazing experience. This place is like stepping into a fairy tale. The walls and ceilings are covered with small pieces of mirrors, which sparkle and shine in the light. It feels magical, like being surrounded by stars. Walking through The Glass Palace, I was in awe of how beautiful everything looked. The mirror work is so detailed and pretty, it's hard to stop looking at it. It's a very special place that shows how creative and skilled people were in making such beautiful art a long time ago. The beauty of the glasses used centuries ago is still continue to retain its beauty. I really enjoyed my visit to The Shish Mahal. It's a unique place that I think everyone should see if they have the chance.
