Agra
Agra was the imperial capital of India before it shifted to Delhi, and its treasured remains bear witness to the legacy of its past emperors. The city is blessed with India's crown jewel, the white marble Taj Mahal, arguably one of the world’s most famous and breathtaking buildings. Visitors can also marvel at other fine Mughal architecture – the mighty Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.
