SOME TIPS:
1. Best time to visit is either morning or evening. In the morning time, there is less crowd.
2. Buy shoe cover before entering the main gate.
3. Want to take perfect pictures? take it from the main gate. Because as you go near it, you can not take the whole structure/ complete Taj Mahal in a photo/picture even you have a wide-angle lens camera.
4. Bring sunglasses with you because in sunlight white marble will shine and in such a situation, sunglasses will protect eyes.
5. Bring ID proof to get the ticket.
6. Tripod stands and drone cameras are not allowed.
7. Can also visit places near TajMahal on the same day, such as Agra Fort or Red Fort, Itmat ud dullah's tomb.
8. To take the perfect picture with the Yamuna river go to Mehtab Bagh(situated on the opposite side of the river bank). The Yamuna is also one of the rivers flowing in India.
9. Wear colorful clothes for perfect photographs because with white marble background it will be a great contrast.
10. No tour guide is needed.
11. Rs. 5 and Rs. 50 concession on booking tickets online for Domestic and Foreign tourists respectively.
