India Rajasthan Jaipur

City Palace, Jaipur

A royal residence in the heart of Rajasthan's capital, showcasing a blend of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles, and home to a museum.

Tips from the community

As a compound overflowing with lush gardens, sprawling courtyards, and buildings — Jaipur’s City Palace is quite literally an (Instagram) oasis in the middle of the Pink City. A mix of Rajasthani and Mughal over the centuries, there are seemingly endless photos to be taken here — from the shimmering palace doors displaying the seasons to the rainbow Peacock Gate, the pink Diwan-I-Khas room, and the famously blue Chhavi Nivas. If you want to snap photos that look like you have the palace to yourself, head here first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon.
