Agra Fort

UNESCO world heritage site..marvel in red stones.. one of largest mughal fort in India..it's soo vast.. hindu islamic architecture marvel.. must visit in a life time😇 The drainage systems and the air conditionioning techniques used are unbelievable.. amazing to see fountains in that time. You should buy online tickets in advance.. the booking closes 24hrs or before. It's told in official website that ADA tax needs to be filled only once per day. But in all monuments,they busy money 10 per person against government norms. I only pre booked in taj mahal and forgot to buy all online tickets. On asking about the ADA tax already filled, the person in ticket counter argued with me and they proved nothing goes by law. This, if you buy online tickets in advance, you can visit every monument in agra with onetime ADA tax. Don't be confused by timing needed to cover taj mahal and as we didn't booked advanced ticket to other agra places.You can have good view of it in 3 to 4 hrs ..

Wonderful and beautiful, nicely maintained that looks brand new, hundreds of years old but without fadding colour. Lots things to know before visiting this fort, min 2 hours needed to cover the entire fort after entering. Must visit this place, close Agra metro station "Ambedkar Chowk".. buy ticket online before visiting.

Hello Traveller’s, There is a lot to explore here, if you just wanna see it then you can explore it on your own. But if you wish to explore it completely with all the places information then I would suggest you to hire a guide who will take you to all places and will help you in knowing about it in much detailed manner. Guides will be approaching you from the ticket counter side, would suggest you to bargain the price and get a best deal. Do carry a water bottle as it might be tiring exploring all the places.

Visited Agra and had an amazing experience! The city is rich in history and architecture, with the Taj Mahal being an absolute must-see—breathtaking and serene. Agra Fort is also impressive, showcasing beautiful Mughal architecture. The local hospitality was welcoming, and the food options were delightful. Some areas can get crowded, so visiting early in the morning or later in the evening is ideal. Overall, a wonderful place for history lovers and anyone looking to experience India’s cultural heritage. Highly recommended

Very impressive site especially considering that most of the fort is unavailable to a broader audience. Impressive building showing impressive skills implemented several hundred years ago. Although you can enter on your own I would recommend tanning up with an approved guide. Bring water as it can be hot to visit on sunny days
