Visit the magnificent Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This red sandstone fortress was the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Explore its palaces, audience halls, and mosques. Allow at least 2-3 hours.

Head across the Yamuna River to Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden). This garden complex is perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal and offers a serene and breathtaking view of the monument at sunset.
