Together with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is a part of India's Golden Triangle. These famous cities are some of the most visited tourist destinations and each has something for you to discover. Often called the pink city, Jaipur's streets are wide and laid out well, which is quite the novelty for an Indian city. This makes exploring a lot simpler. However, it is important to keep in mind that Jaipur is a very busy and packed city. The sheer number of people and buildings often overwhelm visitors. Thus, it is best to go exploring during non-peak times. Although some people crave to be part of this hustle and bustle, you should be prepared to be in traffic for a (long) while.

What does Jaipur have to offer? There are many fantastic sites for you to discover. The royal City Palace is an impressive white building located along Lake Pichola. Its exterior features towers, balconies and terraces while the indoors are decorated with paintings, marble and silver. Located inside the Palace are a number of sites.
