About
Quick facts: This city once served as the Mughal capital for less than 15 years before being abandoned due to water issues. The complex consists of various buildings that blend Islamic, Hindu, and Persian architectural art.
Highlights: One of the most unique rooms is the Panch Mahal, a five-story pavilion that looks like an architectural puzzle with small pillars that scatter light. This city is also famous for Jama Masjid, which has a courtyard spanning over 3 hectares with no pillars inside.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes because the area is quite large and involves a lot of walking.
- Come in the morning to avoid the crowds and the hot air.
- Do not miss Panch Mahal for a photo with beautiful natural lighting in the morning.
- Bring drinking water because food kiosks are limited inside the complex area.
