Locating cheap flights to Agra -- the city most known for the Taj Mahal -- is possible for those travelling to the area. This city is in the northern portion of Uttar Pradesh, about 193 kilometres from Delhi. To access the city, most travellers purchase direct Agra flights, which takes them into the Kheria Airport (IATA) in Agra; however, this airport is only seasonally available. The two main airlines providing service to this airport are Air India Regional and Kingfisher Airlines.

Another option is to fly into Delhi and then to travel by hired car to Agra. Though this may be a long drive, it may be necessary if the Kheria Airport is closed. The Kingfisher and Air India Regional airlines also fly into Jaipur and Delhi.

Once you book your Agra flights, the next step is to plan how to get around in the city. Electric buses are one option. These are called tongas. If you want to go to the Taj Mahal, this is the best option, because cars are not allowed there. Another option is to use the auto-rickshaws. You may also wish to rent a bicycle. Bicycles are readily available for rent and provide an easy mode of transportation.

It is also possible to walk through much of the area. Walking down Sadar Road (also known as Mall Road) is the perfect way to experience the culture of this city. For those who want faster service and air conditioning, taxis are available throughout the city. The most affordable option, after walking and biking, are the electric buses.

As it is home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, Agra offers plenty for visitors to experience. Nothing is more stunning than the Taj Mahal. The other two sites are the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Additionally, plan to visit the gardens of Soami Bagh and Ram Bagh. A number of temples exist throughout the area as well. Those worth visiting include the Balkeshwar Temple, Kailash Temple, and Mankameshwar Temple.

Visitors may want to see the Sikandra where the tomb of Akbar sits. Visit at sunset for stunning views. The Baby Taj, more formally known as Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, is also worthy of exploring. It was designed for the empress's father, Ghiyas-ud-Din Beg. It has a beautiful garden and white marble design. You should also consider visiting Jama Masjid, a large mosque built in 1648.

With cheap flights to Agra available, you may have some extra left over for shopping. There is plenty to purchase here. The Sadar Bazaar is by far the best location for both food and shopping. Mughal Bazaar is a more tourism-centric market and less desirable overall. You'll find a range of restaurants throughout the area. Be sure to try chaat, a type of spicy cuisine, and the many different types of sweets available.

As for the nightlife, you will find a few late-night restaurants and clubs available. As an elegant and beautiful city, there are many cafes and dance halls to visit. Before you leave Arga, be sure to spend an evening near the Taj Mahal for a spectacular view and a lasting memory of the area.
