Taj Mahal (A flawless architectural creation)

Perhaps none of the other historical monuments have evoked as much awe and admiration from tourists and travelers alike, as the resplendent Taj Mahal-fondly called by people as the ultimate symbol of love, from a great Mughal Emperor to his beloved. So overwhelming is the spectacular beauty and presence of this marbled mausoleum that centuries later today, even the very place where it has been located-Agra-has been immortalized as the City of the Taj. The architectural excellence of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vibrant remainder of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vivid reminder of the capital in the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries.

Answer 6

The Taj Mahal is in the town of Agra, which is about 100 miles from Delhi.

What we did was stay in a hotel in Delhi (don't remember the name, but it was in Connaught Place, D Block, and I would recommend it only if you are looking for the absolute cheapest you can find - there was bird poo all over the room because the windows are always open).  Then we hired a car+driver (don't attempt to drive yourself!!!) to take us to Agra in the morning, wait for us, then take us back to Delhi in the evening.  Any hotel can arrange this, and it was probably only about $20 US.  Of course with the price of fuel being much more than it was back then (2001) it may cost more.
