Overview
A historic city in Maharashtra, Aurangabad is famous for its medieval monuments and rich cultural heritage. Since it was the seat of the Mughal Empire for a short tenure, Aurangabad has no dearth of forts, tombs and museums that will take you back to the Mughal era. The history of Aurangabad is, however, more than the Mughal reign. Explore the areas outside the city and you will be surprised to see structures dating back to the 2nd century and beyond. If you thought all the prominent places in Aurangabad can be covered in a day or two, we urge you to extend your vacation and explore places that are a little far away from the city too to make the most of your trip to the City of Gates.
