2. Taj Mahal is located in the historical city of Agra. Called as the "symbol of love", it was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Every year visitors numbering more than the entire population of Agra passes through the magnificent gates to catch a glimpse of this breath taking monument. Described by Rabindranath Tagore as “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity”, the Taj Mahal is considered as the finest example of Mughal architecture and is now a UNESCO world heritage site. Covering a land over 60 bighas, the Taj Mahal was constructed using white marble obtained from Makrana in Rajasthan.

3. Built by Emperor Akbar on the west bank of the river Yamuna, the Agra Fort dominates the centre of the city. The crescent-shaped fort has a 20-metre high and 2.4-km long outer wall that contains a maze of buildings that form a small city within a city. The Diwan-i-Aam (hall of public audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (hall of private audience), the octagonal tower known as Musamman Burj, Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (the mirror palace) and the Anguri Bagh (the Grape Garden) are the other places to see within the fort.

About New Delhi

New Delhi verbindt de statige lanen van de Indiase hoofdstad met de bazaars en Mogolmonumenten van Oud-Delhi: een stad van rijken en geweldig eten.

De geplande hoofdstad draait om een grote ceremoniële laan van de India Gate naar Rashtrapati Bhavan, het presidentieel paleis. Daarbij in de buurt ligt Humayuns graftombe, een voorloper van de Taj Mahal, in een formele tuin, en in het zuiden rijst de Qutb Minar op, een torenhoge minaret van zandsteen. De Lotustempel en het enorme Akshardham-complex zijn opvallende moderne bezienswaardigheden.
