While admiring some of the finest architecture in the world, you have a variety of pleasures available to you, including fine dining, great, inexpensive shopping, and world-class hospitality.

Agra is a large city full of life and energy. Depending on what you want to do, or if you plan on traveling outside of town, different areas of the city may appeal more to you. There are a number of interesting historical sites located a short ways from the city that are worth a trip over to check out. The nearby city of Bateshwar, for example, is accessible by bus and rail. Staying near your public transport hub may give you an advantage in terms of travel time to slightly more distant destinations.
