Nightlife
The nights are usually very peaceful in Agra. Despite heavy tourist inflow , metropolis culture is yet to invade Agra. But amidst peaceful and serene environ, hot and happening spots can be located. The Tequila at Mansingh Palace on Fathabad Road (Contact No: 2331771 (8 Lines) Fax: 2330202) is mecca for those who are addicted to nightlife. A quite evening or late night walk around Taj Mahal complex is the most preferred option. The great mausoleum looks beautiful in the nighttime and sure leaves an impression. For a good night out the city provides cinemas, coffee shops, restaurants and bars. Downtown Club is one of best known bars in Agra.
Kidding Around
There is history in every corner of Agra. To add a dash of fun quotient, we suggest you take the ride to the Taj Mahal on the tongas - small horse drawn carriages. The tongas are decked up with bright designs and so are the horses. The kids will just love the ride.
