Things to do in Jaipur: forts, bazaars and a race
Jaipur rewards a full day. Forts in the morning, bazaars in the afternoon, food all the way through. Here is a simple list for first-time visitors and locals with guests in town, plus one plan for the evening.
What are the must-see places in Jaipur?
Amber Fort: the hilltop fort most visitors start with. Go early, before the heat and the crowds.
City Palace: courtyards and museums with royal costumes and manuscripts, in the middle of the old city.
Hawa Mahal: the pink sandstone "Palace of Winds", with its honeycomb of small windows facing the street.
Jantar Mantar: an 18th-century observatory of giant stone instruments, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Nahargarh Fort: wide views over the city, especially in the late afternoon.
Where should you shop and eat in Jaipur?
Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar are the places for jewellery, textiles and handicrafts. For food, try dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi and laal maas at a traditional restaurant or a busy local spot.
If you like crafts, look for a block printing or blue pottery workshop. Many let you try making a piece yourself, which makes a better souvenir than anything off a shelf.

Most monuments close by early evening. That is when The Pink Falcon Jaipur comes in: we are open until 10 PM every day at E-555, Narayan Vihar, Gopalpura Bypass Road, about 5 minutes from Mansarovar Metro.
