Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal, offers more than just its famous landmarks. Here are some savvy tips to enhance your stay.
Fast Fact: Did you know? About 65% of Agra's hotels boast views of the Taj Mahal, like The Oberoi Amarvilas Agra, which features stunning vistas right from your room.
Local Hack: Ask for "Tandoori chai" during your stay-the unique tea served in clay cups is a local favorite and often provided for free at many hotels.
Hidden Gem: The Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (also known as the Baby Taj) is just 10 minutes from the main hotel district. Its intricate marble work and tranquil gardens offer a peaceful alternative to the tourist crowds.
Smart Tip: Booking late in the week? Sunday nights usually see hotel rates drop by 20% as leisure travelers check out.
