When to Visit

The Taj Mahal is one of the most recognizable buildings in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, which means it has been recognized for its cultural importance and universal value. Visiting the Taj Mahal from sunrise until sunset is recommended, but you can also go at other times of day as well. There are many different ways to visit including by bus tour or by bike tour. The Taj Mahal tour guide will be able to help you decide which is best for your travel preferences and time constraints.

How to Get There

The Taj Mahal is a popular tourist destination, so it's no surprise that you want to know how to go in. To get there, take a taxi or bus from Agra's railway station. From Agra Railway Station, it will take around an hour and a half by car or three hours by bus. Once you arrive at the entrance of the Taj Mahal complex, buy your tickets and enter through the East Gate.

What to Bring

Here are some items you'll want to bring with you on your visit to the Taj Mahal:
-A camera (or phone with a camera)
-A map of India and/or Agra
-A hat or umbrella if it's not summertime
-Comfortable walking shoes. The Taj is quite large and you'll likely walk around for a while before finding a good spot, so be prepared!
-Warm clothes in case it gets chilly at night.

What to Expect

Visiting the Taj Mahal is a great experience. There are many things you should know before you go, such as how to get there and what time of day is best. Knowing what time of day is best will help you avoid crowds. There are also tour packages available if you want someone else to take care of planning everything for you.

Tips for Visiting

Before you go, be sure to take a taj mahal tour and get advice from locals. Another pro-tip is not to bring a lot of luggage with you because there are no carts around for help like in some other countries. Finally, be respectful of other visitors when you visit. The Taj Mahal is an important symbol for India's culture and it should be treated as such.
