1. Taj Mahal
One of the most profoundly beautiful and distinctive monuments in the world, the Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located on River Yamuna’s banks. This monument was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife Mumtaz Mahal. The stunning structure also houses Shajahan’s own tomb which lies next to his beloved’s inside an exquisite garden.
The whole building was constructed entirely out of white marble in the 17th century. Every year several million visitors from all around the globe flock through its magnificent gates just so they can catch glimpses of this breathtaking beauty. It is a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site that looks majestic amidst water channels, fountains, and archways.
2. Fatehpur Sikri
Fatehpur Sikri is a city located 40km from Agra and you can reach it with your private taxi from Delhi Wheels. Its architecture primarily consists of red sandstone and was founded in 1571 by Mughal Emperor Akbar. He used it as his empire’s capital for fifteen years before moving the capital to Delhi. It now stands as one of India’s UNESCO world heritage sites with its famous monuments including Jodha Bai Palace, Jama Mosque Buland Darwaza, Salim Chisti Tomb. All monuments are designed and set around in an imperial complex composed mainly of pavilions reminiscent of Arabian tent encampments.
Akbar’s magnificent Fatehpur Sikri is a blend of architectural excellence and religious beliefs. It has three palaces for each of his favorite wives. Each palace was designed using the prominent architectural style of the religion of the queen – Hindu, Muslim, and Christian. This Indo-Islamic masterpiece looks resplendent at sunset during its best time to visit.
3. Agra Fort
The Red Fort of Agra is an architectural masterpiece. It was built by Emperor Akbar in 1573 and is made entirely out of red sandstone. Listed among the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the city, it lies 2.5 kilometers from the Taj Mahal.

The first tomb in India made entirely of marble, the Mughal mausoleum Itimad-ud-daulah is often thought to be a replica of the Taj Mahal, and should not be missed during your trip with Delhi to Agra car rental. Built by Nur Jahan for her father Mir Gheyas Beg who was once considered one of Shah Jahan’s most trusted ministers, it stands as an epitome of love and devotion between two families.
The Itimad-ud-daulah Tomb is an Indo Mughal construction that symbolized the transition from the first phase of Mughal architecture to the second. If you take a birds-eye view, this magnificent mausoleum looks like a jewel box set into the garden with arched entryways and octagonal towers.
