Travel tips
- Enter the Taj at sunrise — cooler, quieter and the best light; carry your ID.
- The Taj is closed on Fridays — plan around it.
- Skip pricey cafés; eat at Sadar Bazaar for cheap paratha, bedai and Agra petha.
- Battery-bus/e-rickshaw from the gate is the cheapest way to the Taj entrance.
