Delhi is a sprawling metropolis in North India that contains the country's capital, New Delhi. Life is abuzz and hectic here, with traffic going every which way.

Once the capital of the Mughal Empire, Agra, India is now a cultural capital replete with famous landmarks and striking architecture. Located on the winding banks of the Yamuna River, Agra sits in India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. The city’s most prominent draw is the magnificent Taj Mahal, the iconic white marble mausoleum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site visited by millions of people each year. Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shaj Jahan, the Taj Mahal is a grand testament to the stunning beauty of the Mughal Empire’s Indo-Islamic architecture. Decorated with intricate design, calligraphy, and precious stones, the mausoleum's surroundings include a verdant garden and glittering reflective pool. Agra's other notable sites include Agra Fort and Delhi Gate (both made of striking red sandstone), the Shish Mahal (also known as Glass Palace), Itmad-ud-Daula (affectionately called the “Baby Taj Mahal”), and Aram Bagh (beautiful Persian-style gardens). Agra is a must-see destination for any trip to India! |
