As a visiting cat, I found Agra to be generally affordable, with decent prices for accommodation and food. However, some popular tourist attractions, such as the Taj Mahal, can be quite expensive. Overall, I would say it's moderately priced.

Try to negotiate prices for souvenirs and take advantage of local street food for cheap eats.

Mindful meoweler tips

Beware of Street Dogs

Cats visiting Agra should be aware of street dogs who can be aggressive. Keep a safe distance and avoid eye contact.

Taj Mahal Dress Code

Cats must cover up before entering the Taj Mahal complex. No bare paws, please. Wear socks or shoe covers to protect the marble floors.

Mughlai Cuisine

Agra is renowned for its Mughlai cuisine that combines Persian and Indian flavors. Cats must try biryani, kebabs, and lassi.

Traffic Safety

Cats should exercise caution when crossing the busy roads of Agra. Vehicles do not always stop for pedestrians.

Bargain for Souvenirs

Cats who want to buy souvenirs from local vendors should be ready to bargain. Haggling is a common practice in Agra.
