Once capital of Jaipur and also known as Amer palace this place portrays a blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture. Though the fort is old and looking from outside you would know it yet the red sandstone and marble fort looks huge and splendid. The fort though is a small trek uphill but totally worth it. You can also go for the royal elephant ride. Its 11 Km from Jaipur and a must visit place.
Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh built this beautiful palace and also reigned and operated from the palace. City Palace is situated in the heart of the pink city. The architecture again shows a beautiful blend of Rajput, European and Mughal style. While in Jaipur you can not miss the City Palace as this is the landmark and the center point.

It also has a museum which portary’s the Raja having his meal, several women siting together, a thali ready to be served and various other statues that gives you an insight into the life those days.

People singing the folk songs performing various type of stunts, magician sweeping you off your feet and the handicraft to win your heart.
