Agra is usually referred to as the city of the beautiful Taj Mahal. However, other attractions of Agra deserve a creditable mention on your tour of Agra. With the Rajputana Getaway, you will not miss any of the tourist attractions in Agra.

The Agra Fort is the prime attraction of Agra. Also, known as the Red Fort, it is 2.5 kms from the Taj Mahal. Declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, the fort features a whole city in itself.

The Agra Fort was taken over from the Lodis by Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century. Facing River Yamuna and built in red sandstone, Agra Fort's walls are about 21 meters high. The Delhi Gate and the Amar Singh Gate, also known as the Lahore Gate, were the two entrances to the Agra Fort.

This tourist attraction of Agra houses numerous marvels of Mughal architecture. The Anguri Bagh is a beautiful verdant garden. The Diwan-e-Aam was a conference hall meant for addressing the general public. And the Diwan-e-Khas was for hosting dignified guests.

The Khas Mahal is made of pristine marble and adorned with incredible paintings. The kings' wives and mistresses lived in the Rang Mahal. The Sheesh Mahal was the dressing room that had walls decorated with mirror-like glass mosaic.

The Musamman Burj was that pavilion of the Agra Fort where Mughal queens Nur Jahan (Jahangir's wife) and Mumtaz Mahal (Shah Jahan's wife) had lived. Shah Jahan, imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb, breathed his last in the Musamman Burj, gazing at the Taj, his beloved wife's mausoleum.

The Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, is another noteworthy tourist attraction in Agra. The mosque has a wall built in red sandstone and three domes of white marble.

An Agra tour will be incomplete without a visit to the other tourist attractions of Agra. The elegance of Mughal artistry will leave you spellbound.
