Agra is an ancient city of Uttar Pradesh situated on the banks of the river Yamuna. The city reached its full fame during the reign of Mughals. Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World is in Agra. I along with my family had a 4 days trip to Agra. It took 3 hours by road to reach Agra from Delhi. We stayed at Garden Villa Homestay. I really loved the hospitality of the people there.
The main tourist places we visited in Agra include:

Taj Mahal: This beautiful marble structure was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Taj Mahal is a speechless attraction of Agra. The beauty of the monument is beyond words.
Agra Red Fort: It is a UNESCO World heritage site located at about 2 kms from Taj Mahal. Inside the grand fort there is Shahjahan's palace, Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khaas, nagina masjid etc. The artworks and the carvings in the fort are very beautiful.
