The Taj is indeed one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever visited. It is breathtaking. We were here as part of a group so didn't have to bother with tickets or the like. But what I advise any visitor to do is make the effort, set your alarm early and get as near to the front of the... More

Visited here at the end of April and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowds. The Taj is spectacular. Seeing the building at close range you see the full beauty of it which is lost in photographs. It changes colour through the day. Although there were hawkers we just kept our heads down and avoided eye contact as advised... More

Only worthwhile place in AGRA - rest are rip-offs and dirty. Ofcourse, you pay the NRI tickets and hence they keep everything clean inside.

The Taj Mahal is so beautiful that no description can do it justice. Best viewed at sunrise or sunset to see the play of light on the marble and inlay. Watch out for the "helpful" people who give you ideas for best photo ops and then expect to be paid. Remember to take as little personal items as possible. We... More

Must see when in Agra.We were there in low season. It is as stated by others, a place that you have to experience yourself. When arriving from Delhi, please take the expressway. Otherwise the trip is 5 hours iso 3. From the parking near the Taj you are directed to take a taxi/ horseride to the entrance. A walk will... More

I defy anyone not to be blown away by the Taj Mahal! Being there was a magical, unforgettable experience! A visit at sunrise is not only beautiful, you also beat the crowds and queues!

There will never be enough words to describe or do justice to how beautiful the Taj Mahal is. My recent trip to India was, for me, all about visiting this stunning place. I could not take my eyes off it. It will always be one of the most special holiday moments in my life....the day I visited the Taj Mahal.

Get away from the crowds and walk along the side paths in the gardens. The glimpses of the Taj through the trees is fabulous.

Highlights of a trip to India always include the Taj Mahal - right! I'm sure that's true. There is a reason. This is probably the most beautiful tomb ever built anywhere in the world. Visiting here and seeing a wild tiger were definitely the highlights of our own trip. There has been so much written about the Taj Mahal that... More
