Getting there
Most visitors fly into Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, roughly 177 km (about a three‑ to four‑hour drive) from Agra’s center, while Noida International Airport sits a bit closer at around 118 km. Jaipur International Airport is another option, roughly 222 km away. Trains from Delhi to Agra run frequently and take about two hours, making rail a popular alternative to the highway.
Who goes
Agra welcomes roughly two to three million tourists each year, drawing history lovers, families, and solo backpackers eager to see the Taj Mahal and other Mughal sites. The city is busiest from October through February when the weather is cooler, and it quiets down in the hot pre‑monsoon months of May and June.
Budgeting
A careful traveler can expect to spend around ₹1,200–₹2,000 per day (≈ $15–$25), while a more comfortable stay typically runs about ₹3,500–₹6,000 (≈ $45–$75). Lodging near the main monuments tends to be the biggest expense; opting for a guesthouse a few kilometers away and using local buses or shared auto‑rickshaws can shave a good portion off the total.
