PlanningTravel note
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays
Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The Taj is closed to general visitors every Friday for prayers. A weekend trip from Delhi that arrives Thursday night and plans the Taj for Friday morning loses its main event.
The lesson
Check the day of the week before you fix the Agra dates.
Advice for future travellers
Sunrise slots are popular; the east gate is usually the least crowded approach.
