We paid 300 RP per ticket. There is usually a snake charmer outside the entrance, so if you want to see one its a good place to look. There is an interesting costume display, and also an extensive armoury display. Make sure you look up at the ceilings in the armoury, as they are beautiful. Part of the palace is... More

Very interesting place with crazy expensive shop. Snake charmers are sitting next to the entrance Gates to the Palace interiors, where the real Maharaja lives are extremely interesting. Cafe is also delicious, except the poor kid dancing for a little money,

The city palace is located in the centre of the city. The architecture at that time they adopted makes us wonder and is interesting place to History lovers. Major parts of the palace are closed for public and most rooms are kept no photography boards even though we taken Camera tickets

After Udaipur where the palace was stunning, full of lots to see, friendly staff, we were a little disappointed with this place. There were no audioguides working, the staff were just not bothered, and there wasn't much to see. The architecture was interesting, but most rooms said no photography allowed. It was lacking something..

Not a place like Amber fort, where children/kids and even some youngsters can spend or be occupied by having different views and go around and around. Personally, our family felt little boring after having visited Mysore last year. No information about anything is published around the palace; one need to take a guide if the visit has to be informative.

A must to see when visiting Jaipur. The site is rich in history & guide is essential to know all the details. The palace structures, Gates, Mahals are all awesome & are living monuments of the glory enjoyed by the royalty. Please take time to appreciate the edifices. When we visited the palace, part of it was being decorated for... More

Worth the visit, stunning building, we had a good guide which helped. I think it is not so good for small children but stirs your imagination as adults. make sure on all visits that you carry water the heat is quite sapping. Gin and tonic when you return to the hotel. Once was enough. It's in our memory box.
