부동산 — Pentas hotel
Pentas Hotel is a solid, no-frills 3-star in the heart of Agra's backpacker belt, near the Sadar Bazaar. The lobby feels clean and functional, with marble floors and a reception that runs on polite efficiency rather than charm. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable base within a few kilometres of the Taj Mahal and don't mind basic rooms or the surrounding traffic noise.
Agra 연대기
Agra rose to prominence as the capital of the Mughal Empire under Akbar, who built the Red Fort in the late 16th century. Its architectural zenith came with Shah Jahan's Taj Mahal, completed in 1653, a white marble mausoleum that defines the city's global image. The British Raj later added cantonments and railways, leaving a colonial layer in Civil Lines. Today, Agra is a bustling, chaotic city of 1.6 million, where Mughal grandeur competes with modern urban sprawl, and tourism remains the economic mainstay.

Agra 주요 관광지
💡 Start at the mosque end around 9 AM when it’s less frantic. Buy a fresh lassi (20 INR) from a corner stall – the real ones use clay cups.
💡 Climb the 100-odd steps to the rooftop for a panoramic view over the old city and the Taj beyond. Donate 10–20 INR to the caretaker if you go up.
💡 Walk the path along the river embankment west of the fort entrance – it’s quiet and you’ll see locals fishing.
💡 Sit under the banyan tree near the central water channel – it’s the shadiest spot. Bring your own water, the on-site tap is unreliable.
💡 Arrive at gate opening (approximately 30 minutes before sunrise) for the best light and smallest crowds. The sunrise view from the east gate turns the white marble pink and amber. Book tickets online the day before — the foreign visitor ticket includes entry to the Red Fort Agra on the same day.
💡 Arrive at 5:30 AM for the best light and fewer crowds. Bring a torch – the path is unlit before sunrise.
