| The Gateway Hotel
Agra, Uttar Pradesh. |
|
|
There is only one place in the world in which to see the Taj Mahal and that is Agra. The monument's splendour is simply undeniable and creates an air of romance throughout the city. The decadent and sophisticated culture of the Nawab still permeates Agra and gives the city a unique Mughal character that some say make it more Indian than New Delhi. In addition to the wondrous Taj Mahal, Agra is dotted with unique attractions like the massive Agra fort, the city's labyrinth of bazaars and nearby Fatehpur Sikri.

Sightseeing
Explore a new area. Be inspired by another culture. The Gateway Hotel wants to help you get as much as possible out of every travel experience. Here are some local attractions and intriguing destinations we think you’ll like.
01 Taj Mahal
No trip to Agra would be complete without a visit to this shimmering vision of domes and minarets. The world's best-known tomb stands testimony to the timeless love story of the 17th century Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and his queen Mumtaz Mahal.
02 Fatehpur Sikri
Once a capital, this mini-city located 37 km from Agra, is made of red sandstone and combines influences from both Hindu and Mughal architecture. This structure also houses Salim-Chishti's Dargah.
03 Agra Fort
Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 A.D, this huge fort is made of red sandstone. It houses the palatial enclosures Diwan - E - Aam and Diwan - E - Khas. It also has mussaman burj where Shahjahan was kept under house arrest by his son.
04 Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb
Noor Jahan erected this tomb in memory of her father, Ghiasud-Din-Beg between 1622-1628 A.D. The white marble structure was built before the Taj Mahal and is often considered equal if not better than the more-famed Taj.
05 Sikandra
Sikandra, 10 kms northwest of Agra, is the final resting place of Emperor Akbar. The red sandstone structure in a chahar-bagh (4-square formal garden) blends Hindu and Mughal architecture.
06 Mariyam's Tomb
This unique tomb in red sandstone was built in memory of Akbar's Christian wife Mariyam and exhibits some exceptional carvings.
07 Chini Ka Roza
Constructed by Afzal Khan's high official in the court of Shah Jehan, this structure decorated with glazed tiles clearly depicts Persian influence in architecture.
08 Swami Bagh
Visit the headquarters of the Radhaswami sect that was founded by swami Shri Dayal.
09 Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary
Also known as Keoladeo Ghana National Park, this is one of the finest water bird sanctuaries in the world. Spread over a 40 sq. kms. area of swampy, lightly wooded terrain, the sanctuary attracts many species of birds including the Siberian Crane in the winter months.
10 Mathura and Brindaban
Mathura, on the bank of the Yamuna River, is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The groves and ghats (bathing tanks) of nearby Brindaban, with its thousands of temples, still echo stories and songs that recount the exploits of this charming God. The Government Museum here is a superb repository of fine sculpture, terracotta images, coins and bronze objects that date from the 5th century B.C to the 12th century A.D.
