The typical top ten attractions are listed below. You can find the detailed locations of these places on the maps above.
- City Palace - The main attraction of the old city of Jaipur is its City Palace. A complex of courtyards, gardens and buildings, the impressive City Palace is right in the centre of the Old City. The complex includes Peacock Gate.
- Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) - Jaipur's most instantly recognizable landmark, the Hawa Mahal, or 'Palace of Winds', stands to the east of the City Palace. It's best appreciated from the outside during the early morning, when it glows orange-pink in the rays of the rising sun. Hawa Mahal is a five-story facade of hundreds of latticed-stone screened windows, behind which the ladies of the palace could view the city without being seen. Visitors are permitted to climb up the winding ramp to the top.
- Jantar Mantar - Adjacent to the City Palace is Jantar Mantar. This medieval observatory is the largest of its kind in the world.
- Amber (or Amer) Fort - 11km north of Jaipur lies the first royal residence of the Maharajas of Kachhwaha. This magnificent fort is more of a palace, built from pale yellow and pink sandstone and white marble, and divided into four main sections, each with its own courtyard. The most memorable part of a trip here is standing at the fort's highest point and photographing the parade of elephants.
- Old City (Pink City) - The Old City is partially encircled by a crenellated wall punctuated at intervals by grand gateways. The major gates are Chandpol (pol means 'gate'), Ajmer Gate and Sanganeri Gate. Avenues divide the Pink City into neat rectangles, each specialising in certain crafts, as ordained in the Shilpa-Shastra. The main bazaars in the Old City include Johari Bazaar, Tripolia Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar and Chandpol Bazaar; see the walking tour or Shopping for more details of these bazaars.
