  1. A

    Rabindralaya Auditorium

    Opposite the two train stations, this auditorium hosts a variety of cultural shows, including classical music, dance and theatrical performances, all free of charge. It’s often used by schools, however, so is not always open to the public. Call ahead.

    Prinsep Bar

    For a quiet drink with a dash of history try this tiny bar, named after James Prinsep, who drew wonderful illustrations of Varanasi’s ghats and temples. A Kingfisher is Rs185, cocktails Rs200.

    Jaiwal Bar

    A pleasant change from soulless hotel bars, pocket-sized Jaiwal has a small outdoor seating area with an even smaller AC room indoors. Beers start from Rs80 and snacks are available.

    Strokes Sports Bar

    With metallic decor, zebra-print chairs, ultraviolet lights and a backlit bar, this must be one of the strangest places in India to come to watch the latest cricket match on TV.

    Amar Vilas Bar

    For a beer (Rs200) or cocktail (Rs450) in sheer opulence, look no further than the bar at Agra’s best hotel. A terrace opens out to views of the Taj.
