India Rajasthan Jaipur

City Palace, Jaipur

A royal residence in Rajasthan's capital known for its historic architecture, museums, and blend of Mughal and Rajput styles.

Tips from the community

A compound overflowing with lush gardens, sprawling courtyards, and buildings, Jaipur’s City Palace is quite literally an (Instagram) oasis in the middle of the Pink City. A mix of Rajasthani and Mughal over the centuries, there are seemingly endless photos to be taken here — from the shimmering palace doors displaying the seasons to the rainbow Peacock Gate, pink Diwan-I-Khas room, and the famously blue Chhavi Nivas. If you want to snap photos that look like you have the palace to yourself, head here first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon.

Even though Jaipur is known as India’s pink city, there’s one particular destination that’s overflowing with brilliant shades of emerald green. Jaipur’s City Palace has multiple gates that are all gorgeously ornate, and the fourth one is basically Instagram famous by now.
