Agra Fort Ticket Price, Timings & Travel Tips

🏰 Agra Fort Timings, Tickets, Tips & Travel Guide

Before there was the Taj, there was the Fort. Built of red sandstone and echoing with the footsteps of emperors, Agra Fort isn’t just a monument — it’s a palace, a prison, and a living timeline of India’s Mughal history. To walk through it is to walk through centuries of power, passion, and politics.

⏰ Agra Fort Opening Hours

The fort is open year-round, and it deserves more than a quick glance. Give it at least 2 hours — from its gates to the chambers where Shah Jahan was imprisoned, there’s plenty to absorb.

• Opens: 6:00 AM
• Closes: 6:00 PM
• Open All Days: Yes

🎟️ Agra Fort Entry Fees (2025)

Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and ticket prices are minimal compared to the experience it offers. The view of the Taj from the fort alone is worth the cost.
