The ‘Land of Taj Mahal’ and the City of Pethas’, Agra is inarguably one of the most-visited travel destinations in India. Be it the historical sites that take tourists back to the rich Mughal history, bustling streets, vibrant shopping markets to buy some amazing stuff, and the lip-smacking fares to treat your taste buds with indelible tastes, Agra offers a memorable vacation in all senses.
Often treated as a day trip away from the capital city – Delhi, Agra is surely a delight for every history lover. Popularly known as the land of Taj Mahal, Agra was once the seat of the Mughal rulers. The city holds an important place in the tourism map of India with a plethora of historical sites. However, the highlight of the city is the one and only attraction – The Taj Mahal. Besides Taj, Agra Fort, Itimad-Ud-Daulah Tomb and Mehtab Bagh are other tourist places in Agra that lure history buffs. The city has three world heritage sites which include Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, and the quite predictable, Taj Mahal.
Apart from heritage tourism, this city in Uttar Pradesh is also famous for its vibrant markets and delectable food. It is the Petha (an Indian sweet made up of ash gourd) for which the historical city of Agra is famous.
The city offers a wide variety of Pethas such as Pan Petha, Kesar Petha, Cherry Mango Petha, Angoori Petha, Orange Petha and Shahi Angoor Petha are just a few names in the list. Furthermore, Agra is also an important business trade centre in North India. A number of small-scale industries of paper, leather, etc. are well flourishing in the city.
