The City Palace: In the heart of the old city lies the royal residence of the erstwhile King of Jaipur. Built using a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles, the palace has carved arches, supported by gray-white marble columns, decorated with floral motifs created with gold and colored stones.
Jantar Mantar: This is the largest of Jai Singh’s five remarkable open-air stone observatories. Its complex instruments, whose setting and shapes are scientifically designed, represent the high point of medieval Indian astronomy.
Hawa Mahal: Built in 1799 A.D., the Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds is a major Rajput landmark. This five-storied building along the main street of the old city is a pink sandstone masterpiece with semi-octagonal and delicately honeycombed windows.
Ram Niwas Bagh: Built by Sawai Ram Singh II in the 1868 A.D, Ram Nivas Bagh is a lush sprawling garden with a zoo, an aviary, a greenhouse, a herbarium, and a museum and sports ground in the premises.
Albert Hall: Sir Swinton Jacob designed this fine example of Indo Saracenic style of architecture, in the Ram Nivas Bagh. The Hall is home to an exquisite collection of sculptures, paintings, objects d’art, natural history specimens, an Egyptian mummy and a beautiful Persian carpet.
Amber Fort: Overlooking the Delhi-Jaipur highway, the image of the Amber Fort is beautifully reflected in the lake below. Within the Fort lies the famous Jai Mandir (Temple) with its world-renowned hall of mirrors, Sheesh Mahal. The walls and the ceiling of the Mahal are covered with a beautiful array of mirrors, which reflects any streak of light, so as to illuminate the entire room.
Nahargarh Fort: Nahargarh fort, beyond the hills of Jaigarh, stands like a watchful sentinel guarding Sawai Jai Singh's beautiful capital. Some of the rooms provide the most spectacular view of the city below.
Jaigarh Fort: The western skyline is dominated by the extensive parkotas (walls), watchtowers and gateways of Jaigarh. It is one of the few military structures of mediaeval India that’s still almost intact. The fort contains palaces, gardens, open and covered reservoirs, a granary, an armory, a well-planned cannon foundry, several temples, a tall tower and a - the Jai Ban - one of the largest cannons in the country.
