Travel Tips of Agra
If you are planning a visit to Agra, you have to be well acquainted with
certain aspects of this historical city. The city remains crowded with
tourists for most part of the year, and thus it is preferable to make the
hotel reservations before reaching to Agra. Having reservations and
advance booking saves your time and prevents fussy situations. Your taxi
driver may misguide you if you don't have hotel reservations beforehand
and take you to a seedy hotel from where he gets a cut. So, one of the
important travel tips in Agra is to book hotels in advance.
Also summers are quite hot in Agra, so make sure you choose a season you
are comfortable while traveling to Agra. Light woolens for winters and
cotton garments are recommended for rest of the seasons. Bring your own
camera to take home some good quality pictures. One of the most important
travel tips in Agra is to never buy cameras at local shops. Bring your own
swimming trunks. Keep your money, passport and accessories safely to
prevent theft.
Do not try local cuisine in Agra if you are not too sure about it. Try to
follow one of the most important travel tips, viz don't eat it, if you
don't know its ingredients. Try to have plenty of fresh fruits and avoid
meat from open stalls. Do not eat open and cold food. Never drink water
from any street vendor as they not always have purified it. Always buy
food from reputed shopping markets. Eat fruits which you can peel
yourself.
You can use non A/C or AC taxis to complete a one day journey or you can
use private buses. Air conditioned/non air-conditioned taxis and luxury
coaches are available through tour operators for sight seeing. Un-metered
auto-rickshaws, cycle rickshaws and tongas are also available at
negotiable rates. But the cycle-rickshaw is the best way of transport
around Agra. The rickshaw boy makes his way through the narrow crowded
roads that can never be accessed by cars. He can be your best guide and
give you some handy travel tips in Agra, which you can use.
