When to go to Agra?
White marble changes colour through the day, and this is where you notice it: the Taj Mahal is pink at sunrise and blinding by midday. Agra Fort answers in red sandstone, its audience halls and marble pavilions looking back along the river. Across the water, Itimad-ud-Daulah is a small jewel of inlaid stone, and Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned imperial city, lies out to the west.
The best time to go
For the best weather in Agra, aim for January to June, October to December.
