First view of the Taj - Agra
First view of the Taj

The city of Agra is home to one of the greatest romantic sights in the world- the Taj Mahal. It's a shame the city that encapsulates it is so filthy and poverty struck.
However, it is still worth the visit to see this amazing building, and it's surrounding gardens in the flesh.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:The Taj Mahal & the Agra fort
  • Cons:most other parts of the city
  • In a nutshell:worth the visit but don't stay too long.
  • Last visit to Agra: Nov 2003
