Shopping in Agra adds an exciting dimension to your Agra tour. Agra is a great place to shop especially for those who love to shop for handicraft items. Once the centre of arts and crafts during the Mughal era, Agra has retained its love for exotic handicraft items. The knowledge of exclusive items for which the city of the Taj Mahal is famous saves a lot of time in deciding what to shop and what not to shop. Agra is famous for its handicrafts items that include marble tabletops, soft stone lay work and hand made leather items. The small replica of the Taj Mahal makes one of the most popular souvenir items.
Agra has some of the oldest bazaars in India. You can rummage through the various bazaars of Agra that are abuzz with shoppers. Some of the markets that you can sieve through are Taj Ganj, Kinari Bazar, Sadar Bazar, Pratap Pura, Munro Road and Gwalior Road.
The miniature replicas of the Taj Mahal and fine work on marble are the most sought after items in Agra. Some of the handicraft items worth checking include marble items, boxes, tabletops, elephants and precious and semi-precious stones. Agra is also famous for its jewellery items. The Mughal style designs are quite popular among the foreigners and locals alike.
Carpets, durries, textiles and sandalwood items are also popular in Agra. If winding thorough bustling streets does not excite you, you can shop at many big showrooms and government-run handicraft shops.
