Taj Tops List of Must-See Sites!

1/9/2017

 Of the thousands of places to visit worldwide, The New York Times chose 52 top sites for 2017...and Agra--home of the Taj--is #3!

Here's the listing, written by contributor Ratha Tep, followed by photos of the Taj and Agra's Red Fort, another amazing site, from our November 2016 tour.

3. Agra, India
Beyond the Taj Mahal, new attractions beckon.


Navigating the stunning, sprawling Taj Mahal will get easier when an orientation center opens this year, but 2017 also promises new reasons to venture beyond: Nearby streets have been repaved; the Agra Pavilion, a glass-walled dining complex, will host more than a dozen vendors and restaurants; and the Mughal Museum, a collaboration with the architect David Chipperfield and Studio Archohm, has broken ground. In addition, India’s fastest train and longest expressway now cut travel time from Delhi and Lucknow.
