The Taj Mahal presents a wondrous sight at different time of the day – at dawn, during the day, at sunset and even on a moonless night.
Fatepur Sikri: The exquisite city of Fatehpur Sikri is situated 45 kms from Agra and was built by Akbar the Great in 1569, in red sandstone, with its various palaces and mosques.
