Next, explore the City Palace, a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture that houses museums and courtyards. Adjacent to the palace is the Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory with a collection of architectural astronomical instruments.
No visit to Jaipur is complete without seeing the Hawa Mahal, or "Palace of Winds," known for its unique five-story façade with 953 small windows. While entry is not permitted, the exterior is a popular photo spot.
