Off the Beaten Path in Agra

Free Off the Beaten Path in Agra with Roamee Pro

Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided off-the-beaten-path walking tour route in Agra. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Taj Mahal — a white marble mausoleum built by Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1653 for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, Agra Fort — a 94-acre red sandstone Mughal fortress where Shah Jahan spent his final years imprisoned, gazing at the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River, Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) — a delicate 1628 Mughal tomb often called the draft of the Taj Mahal, the first structure in India to use pietra dura marble inlay, plus hidden gems like Kinari Bazaar — a vibrant old-city market near the Jama Masjid selling marble crafts, embroidered shoes, and Mughal-era spice blends and Fatehpur Sikri — a perfectly preserved abandoned Mughal capital 40 kilometers west, with red sandstone palaces and the massive Buland Darwaza gate.
