About Agra
Agra is a city located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh in India, known for being home to the iconic Taj Mahal. The currency used in Agra is the Indian Rupee. The city is rich in history and culture, with architectural marvels such as the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Agra is also famous for its handicrafts and traditional artwork, making it a paradise for souvenir shopping. The bustling streets and vibrant markets offer a glimpse into the local way of life.
When to visit
The best time to visit Agra is during the winter months from October to March when the weather is pleasant and cool. Summers in Agra can be extremely hot and humid, making it uncomfortable for sightseeing. Monsoon season, from July to September, brings heavy rainfall which can disrupt travel plans. It is advisable to avoid visiting during peak summer and monsoon months to fully enjoy the attractions in Agra.
Getting around
Getting around Agra is relatively easy with options like auto-rickshaws, cycle rickshaws, and taxis available for hire. The city is well-connected by roads and has a good network of public transportation. Walking is also a popular way to explore the narrow lanes and hidden gems of Agra. Hiring a local guide can be helpful in navigating the city and learning more about its history.
Traveller tips
When visiting Agra, remember to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites like the Taj Mahal. It is advisable to carry a water bottle and stay hydrated, as the weather can be quite hot during the day. Bargaining is common in local markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices. Be cautious of scams and touts around popular tourist attractions. Lastly, try the local street food but make sure it is from a reputable vendor to avoid any stomach issues.
