The Agra City Guides cover the questions every visitor brings: how to see the Taj Mahal before the crowds arrive, which quieter tombs are worth a morning, where to find a proper bedai breakfast and what to do in the evening in a city that goes to bed early. Each guide is a short list with a point of view, giving you the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place. It opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Panchhi Petha
Naulakha, Sadar Bazaar
The Sadar Bazaar shop that Agra people treat as the true home of petha, the glassy sweet made from ash gourd. Taste the dry kind, the syrupy angoori and the saffron and paan versions before you choose a box. From the food guide.
Aram Bagh
Ram Bagh, Firozabad Road
Babur laid out these riverside terraces in the 1520s, and they rank among the earliest Mughal gardens in India. The fountains are dry now, which keeps it peaceful for a long winter stroll by the Yamuna. From the things to do guide.
Prem Mandir, Vrindavan
Raman Reti, Vrindavan
A white marble temple that glows after dark, with an evening fountain show set to music and gardens that tell Krishna’s story. The gentle choice in Vrindavan if the old-town crush feels like too much. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Agra
Day one: the Taj Mahal at opening time (it is closed on Fridays), Agra Fort after it, a bedai breakfast or a rooftop lunch in between and the sunset from Mehtab Bagh across the river. Day two: Itmad-ud-Daula, Chini Ka Rauza and Akbar’s tomb at Sikandra, then kebabs in Sadar Bazaar. For a slow or hazy day, head out to Fatehpur Sikri or the birds of Bharatpur, or let the children burn off energy in an indoor play centre.
