Taj Mahal
Bedste tid at besøge
Arrive right at sunrise (opens 6:00 AM) for soft pink light and the smallest crowds. October through March offers the clearest skies; summer brings intense heat and haze.
Budgettips
Foreign visitors pay about INR 1,100 for main mausoleum access, while domestic visitors pay INR 50. Skip the optional upper gallery ticket unless you want the raised view; the main platform already gives you the classic photo angle.
Anbefalet til

Om
Hurtige fakta: Omkring 7 til 8 millioner mennesker besøger hvert år, hvilket gør det til et af de mest besøgte monumenter i verden. Hele strukturen skifter nuance fra lyserød ved daggry til gylden ved solnedgang, takket være marmor, der skifter farve med lyset.
Højdepunkter: De fire minareter er hver især vippet let udad, omkring 2 grader, så de ville falde væk fra hovedkuplen i et jordskælv i stedet for at kollidere med den. På tæt hold er den hvide marmor indlagt med 28 typer halvædelsten, herunder lapis lazuli og jade, der danner blomster så detaljerede, at du har brug for et forstørrelsesglas for at se de enkelte kronblade.
Insidertips
- Wear shoes you can slip off easily, since you must remove them or wear provided shoe covers before stepping onto the marble platform.
- Check the moonrise schedule on the night viewing dates, those visits run five nights around the full moon and sell out weeks ahead.
- Visit the Yamuna river viewpoint behind the complex for a different silhouette shot that most tourists never find.
- Skip the Friday closure, the main mausoleum shuts for prayers and only the gardens stay open.
