With massive sandstone walls, Agra Fort holds a place on the World Heritage List and represents one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in the world. Visit the imposing fortress and walled city, begun in 1565, and marvel at its brick walls, complete with crenellations and defensive towers. You can wander the extensive complex and see a number of meeting halls, mosques, and other buildings used during the rule of Shah Jahan in the 17th century, as well as expansive green spaces and interior courtyards. Don't miss the fort's eastern walls, from which you can enjoy a sweeping view of the nearby Taj Mahal.

  • Not quite as magnificent as the nearby Taj Mahal but still such an incredible structure in Agra, especially with the red sandstone which makes it an incredible piece of Mughal architecture on its own....  more

  • The fort is spectacular...walking within the walls and seeing the splendor of the fort is worth your time and effort. Plan on spending a good two hours at the site.

  • A historical fort having incredible architecture and ambience. A vast area of fort is with Indian Defence. Better to visit the fort with a Guide who can explain the historical aspects of the fort. The entrance, ambience, Courtyards and other structures are really grand. The red stone and marbles used for construction of the fort, give a royal feeling.
  • One of the great and huge historic monument. It would be better if you take a guide because there are many historical buildings inside this fort, which he will be able to explain better. At least you need 2 hours to visit this fort. Morning time is the best for visit here. If you are a bird lover you will get to see so many parrots. Entry charges : 35/-
