Tourism in East Asia

Agra, India


Agra is a relatively small city in India, but it is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.  It is not only the location of the famous Taj Mahal, but also of the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, a neighboring site with many forts and other ancient buildings.  All three of these beautiful and historic places are World Heritage Sites.
