About Sadar Bazaar
Sadar Bazaar is one of Agra's favourite places for an evening out. Located in the cantonment area, it's a clean, walkable market lined with shops selling leather shoes and bags, clothes, handicrafts, and marble souvenirs.
As the sun sets, the food street comes alive. Stalls serve chaat, tikki, bhalla, and paratha, and sweet shops sell Agra's famous petha. It's a great place to try local snacks in a relaxed setting.
Prices are usually fixed in the larger showrooms, while smaller stalls expect a little friendly bargaining.
