How to get there and around?
 |
Agra is connected by air with Delhi, Khajuraho and Varanasi. Agra's Kheria Airport is 7 kms. from the city center. | |

An important junction, Agra is connected by fast trains with almost all important cities of North and South India. Shatabdi Express provides a convenient connection with Delhi and Gwalior. Agra has two major railway stations - Agra Cantonment (commonly referred as Agra Cantt) and Agra Fort. | ||||||||
 |
Reasonably good buses leave from Idgah Bus Stand for Delhi, Mathura, Bharatpur, Jaipur, Gwalior, Khajuraho, Lucknow and Ajmer. For Rajasthan, road connection is the best - Rajasthan Government buses depart from a small booth outside Hotel Sheetal, close to the Idgah Bus Stand | ||||||||
 |
Three-wheeled auto rickshaws and cycle rickshaws are available for local commuting but pre-fixing of fares is advisable. While polluting vehicles are not allowed near the Taj Mahal, battery buses are available. |
When to go?Agra is pleasant during winters. However, morning haze and fog restricts distant views of the Taj. Views are better during monsoons when the weather is clear. Summers are very hot and dry. Rainy season from July to September may witness some heavy showers which swell the river Yamuna. |
