इतिहास: आगरा का इतिहास राजवंशों और साम्राज्यों की शानदार ताने-बाने से भरा पड़ा है। मुगल काल के दौरान यह अपनी गौरव के शिखर पर पहुंच गया और उनके साम्राज्य की राजधानी बन गया। यह शहर शानदार आगरा किले और आकर्षक फ़तेहपुर सीकरी के साथ-साथ यूनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल और दुनिया के सात अजूबों में से एक उत्कृष्ट ताज महल का घर है।

भाषा: आगरा में बोली जाने वाली प्राथमिक भाषा हिंदी है, जो उर्दू प्रभाव से भरपूर है। पर्यटक क्षेत्रों में अंग्रेजी व्यापक रूप से समझी जाती है, जिससे यह अंतर्राष्ट्रीय आगंतुकों के लिए सुविधाजनक हो जाती है।
