Agra, the home to the Taj Mahal, is no brainer for any tourist to figure out that it’s a must-visit place in the India Tour Package. You must have heard about or have visited the Taj Mahal, but have you heard about other places to visit in Agra? Probably not. That’s why I am here to help you make your following itinerary to the Taj City a little more vivid and diverse. In this blog, I will share my experiences of the top 15 tourist places in Agra that you must visit. Let me begin.
Taj Mahal: Who doesn’t know about this beautiful palace? It had always been the first place on my Agra Tour. So when I first saw the Taj Mahal, I uttered only one word, “incredible.” The site is breathtakingly beautiful, and you can’t forget to stop over when in Agra.

Jama Masjid: The Jama Masjid is an incredible beauty and a place that always gives me and my wife harmony when we visit. Everything is fantastic, from the minarets, prayer halls, relics, and gates of this mosque to the Quran verses inscribed on the walls.

- The fact that it can accommodate 25000 people always makes me wonder how it could have been built in such a way in the 16th century.
Itimad-Ud-Daulah: I liked how it is called the Baby Taj. It is believed to be the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. This grand mausoleum’s interiors are similar to the Taj, which makes sense. Overall, it’s a lovely place in Agra.

Akbar’s Tomb: The more I see the famous architecture of Agra, the more I fall in love with it. One such place is Akbar’s Tomb, his resting place built by himself. I read somewhere that the place is famous for its architecture and the geometric patterns in the sandstone structure. However, every word came true when I saw it in person.

Moti Masjid: Do you want to see the resemblance of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow without visiting Moscow? Then I will give you the Moti Masjid, located inside the Agra Fort. I do get amazement at the mosque’s structure. However, the arches are something else.

Fatehpur Sikri: You can say that Fatehpur Sikri is a city within the city. I read somewhere that it was designed to be the capital of the Mughals but was abandoned within ten years due to a scarce water supply. Whether this fact is actual or not, this place is magnificent.
