Visit the City Palace, a sprawling complex of palaces, gardens, and courtyards, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Mewar dynasty. Admire the intricate architecture, paintings, and artifacts. Take a boat ride on Lake Pichola to see the palace from a different perspective. Kids will love the puppet show and vintage car museum.
Take a stroll in the serene Saheliyon ki Bari, a beautiful garden with fountains, lotus pools, and marble elephants. Built for the queen's maids, it's a popular picnic spot for families. You can also visit the nearby Folk Art Museum to learn about Rajasthani culture through puppets, masks, and paintings. In the evening, head to Bagore ki Haveli for a cultural show.
Experience royalty at Jagmandir Island Palace, a stunning palace on an island in Lake Pichola. Take a boat ride to reach the palace and enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills. The palace has marble pavilions, gardens, and a restaurant serving delicious food. You can also go for horse riding or bird watching at the nearby Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary.
If you have more time, you can include a visit to the Monsoon Palace, which offers stunning views of the city and sunset. You can also explore the narrow lanes of the Old City, shop for souvenirs at Hathi Pol Bazaar, or savor the local cuisine at Ambrai Ghat. If you have less time, you can skip the Folk Art Museum or the horse riding/bird watching activities. Avoid visiting during the peak tourist season (October to March) as the crowds and prices can be high. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water and sunscreen as the weather can be hot and humid.
