Uttar Pradesh attracts a large number of visitors both national and international. There are two regions in the state where a majority of the tourists go:

The city of Agra, which gives access to three world heritage sites: Taj Mahal; Agra Fort; and Fatehpur Sikri, the world famous 16th century capital city near Agra, built by the Mughal emperor Akbar, whose mausoleum in Agra is also worth a visit.
