The monument is just 600 metres from The Oberoi Amarvilas.
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.
Dating back to 1565 CE, Agra Fort is a formidable military structure that was transformed into a palace by Emperor Shah Jahan, who was later, ironically, imprisoned here when his son Aurangzeb seized power. Built out of red sandstone and white marble, the fort is enclosed by an insurmountable double wall.
Fatehpur Sikri was built in 1571 CE and was the capital of the Mughal Empire for fourteen years. It is a fine example of a Mughal walled city, with well-defined public and private areas marked by imposing gateways, one of which is Buland Darwaza, believed to be the highest gateway in the world. Fatehpur Sikri can be visited en route to Jaipur in the Golden Triangle.
Itmad-ud-Daulah, also known locally as “The Baby Taj”, was the first Mughal tomb to be built entirely of marble and pietra dura semi precious stone ornamentation. Embraced by a large garden with intersecting walkways and beautiful water bodies, it is a wonderful place to slow things down and enjoy a gentle stroll.
Sikandra is a suburb of Agra, home to the Sikandra Fort, the Tomb of Akbar the Great, Lodhi Tomb and Kanch Mahal; all of which are fine examples of Mughal architecture dating back to the 17th century and some of the best places to visit near Agra, India.
