To visit the Taj Mahal, take a train or private taxi early to avoid Delhi's peak hour. There are many hotels in Agra and it's wise to stay overnight if you have the time, in order to fully immerse yourself in the grandeur of two of India's most spectacular sites.
The Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world and when you see it you'll understand why. Its breathtaking size overwhelms even the hordes of tourists that swarm through its gates every day. Built entirely of white marble in memory of the beloved wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, it is truly the most exquisite love letter ever composed. Bypass the hawkers and be sure to buy your ticket from the official office.
The great sandstone remnants of the Red Fort in Old Delhi are also a sight to behold. Extending for a whopping two kilometers, the walls of this fort were completed in 1648 at the height of the Mughal dynasty.
