Some of the famous tourist sites of Jaipur are:
The Old City is a picturesque locale with neat and broadly laid-out pink avenues that give a magical glow to the city, especially in the evenings.
The Hawa Mahal is the best-known landmark of Jaipur. It is a sandstone screen from behind which ladies of the court could watch the proceedings on the road below, without being seen.
The Jantar Mantar is one of the five observatories constructed by Jai Singh. The Central Museum, situated in the Ram Niwas Gardens, has a large collection of costumes, woodwork, brassware, jewelry, and pottery.
The hilltop forts of Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Amber recreate the past with their vast courtyards, separated living quarters, and labyrinthine corridors that seal off the women's apartments from public gaze.
The City Palace, a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture is now a museum except for one section where the erstwhile royal family still lives. The city palace has an exclusive part devoted to arms and ammunition that was used by the royal family in the past.
The other places of interest are the Jaipur Museum, Albert Museum, Birla Mandir Planetarium, Sisodia Rani Park, Lakshmi Narain Temple, Kanak Vrindavan, Rajmahal Palace, Rambagh Palace (now a Luxury hotel), and other parks.
Popular excursion sites are:
The old town of Tonk dates back to the middle of the 17th century. The new town resurrects a forgotten era and is an amalgamation of painted mosques, mansions and colonial buildings. The Sunehri Kothi (or Golden Mansion) is known for its mirror work.
Sanganer is famous for its textile block printing, papermaking and Jaipur blue pottery, a must for the avid shopper. There are also several temples and an old palace to be found here.
The chhatris of Jaipur's rulers stand in Gaitor in reverential silence. The cenotaph of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, is the finest. Twenty carved pillars support its elegant dome, which is a dazzling structure in white marble.
Samode is a small village famous for its beautiful Samode Palace and Garden. The highlight of the building is the exquisite Diwan-I-Khas, which is covered with original paintings and mirror work.
Other important tourist places around Jaipur are Ramgarh, Abhaneri, Balaji and Karauli.
