Once the renowned Mughal capital, this city only 220 Km. from Delhi is the ultimate desire of every tourist foreign or Indian to visit. Here stands the exquisite mausoleum Tajmahal, which is an eloquent commemoration of Emperor Shah Jahan' s labour of love for his Queen Empress Mumtaz Mahal. The magnificent Taj spaces volumes of sheer romance which still exists in the air in and around Agra. Legends of by gone ages, the aroma of spicy food and the colour of local traditions alongwith the throbbing live of the shops and bazaars testify this city to be the very soul of India. Besides, the Mughal empire has left behind other historic monuments of great beauty such as the tomb of Akbar at Sikandra with its valuated gateway and curious structural design, the Mausoleum of Itma-ud-Daulah with its jewels in stone, the Massive Agra fort and nearby Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned city of red sandstone.
Located amidst this ancient splendour is Mansingh Palace Hotel named after Rajput Emperor Sawai Mansingh, a very close associate of Mughal Emperor Akbar, where the essentially Indian hospitality reaches out to envelope you come stay at Mansingh Palace and experience Agra.
