The Mughal capital before Delhi, and home to the most famous building on earth. On a bend of the Yamuna, Shah Jahan raised the Taj Mahal, a mausoleum of white marble for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the summit of Mughal art. Upstream stands Agra Fort, the red sandstone stronghold of Akbar within whose marble tower Shah Jahan spent his last years imprisoned, gazing at the Taj. Read the city of the great tomb at your own pace.

What each tour covers

• Agra Fort: The Red Sandstone Seat of Empire: Read the whole Mughal empire as a single building, from Akbar's red-sandstone fortress walls to the white marble tower where his grandson Shah Jahan died a prisoner within sight of the Taj Mahal.
• Taj Mahal: An Emperor's Monument to Grief: The Taj Mahal is not a palace but a tomb, an emperor's grief for one woman turned into white marble. This walk reads it from its dark gateway to its riverfront terrace and gently sets the famous legends aside from the documented history.
