Foodie tips

Get more out of every meal.

Tip

October to March is the best season; Agra reaches 40C and above from April to June

Tip

Pay petha shops by weight and ask for a tasting before buying; plain, angoori and kesar are the traditional types

Tip

Eat bedai-jalebi before 11:00; most counters run out by midday

Tip

Taj Ganj rooftops give the best Taj views but often serve plain tourist-menu food; eat the local sweets elsewhere

Tip

Book guided tours through the operator's own listing or an established platform and agree the price before starting

Tip

Sealed bottled water only; check the seal at restaurants
