Agra

Home of the Taj Mahal, and the city we know best.

Quick Answer

What is Agra known for? Agra sits on the banks of the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh, about 230 km south of Delhi. It's home to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri nearby — and it's where this guide has worked for over fifteen years.
