Jaipur in India: Overview &amp; Initial Travel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three million people live in Jaipur, <strong>the capital<\/strong> of the State of Rajasthan. So if you have any romantic notions of a \u201cfairytale\u201d city, as it is often described, you should throw these ideas overboard as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaipur is <strong>loud, smoggy, chaotic<\/strong> \u2013 a large Indian city. Poverty is (as unfortunately often is the case in India) all around. Good to know: Jaipur is relatively touristy. Or better said: You won\u2019t stand out as a tourist in Jaipur. It also means you can look forward to really great infrastructure (nice hotels and restaurants).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaipur has one very special attraction. The house fa\u00e7ades in Jaipur\u2019s old town light up in a pink-orange colour. There is a story behind this: in honour of the visit of the Prince of Wales at the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century all of the buildings in Jaipur were painted pink. Since then, the old town has shone this special shade. The inhabitants are even required to preserve the cityscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days should I stay in Jaipur?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We ourselves stayed <strong>two nights<\/strong> in Jaipur and honestly found this to be a little too short. Although we could visit all the main attractions, we had to make some compromises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we recommend you allow <strong>three nights<\/strong> for Jaipur. That way you have two full days for sightseeing. If you prefer a more relaxing visit, you could stay even longer \u2013 there are plenty sights. And aside from that, we found it very exciting just to stroll a bit aimlessly in Jaipur and observe the hustle and bustle of the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24310\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-24310 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Erfahrungen.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Jaipur Experiences\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24312\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-24312 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Reisetipps.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Jaipur Travel Tips\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Jaipur Travel Guide: Top Things to Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Palace of Breeze (Hawa Mahal)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the <strong>most famous building<\/strong> in Jaipur and the city\u2019s landmark goes by the name the Palace of Breeze. Its architecture is unparalleled: the Palace of Breeze is built of red sandstone and stretches itself over five stories. The curious part: the building is more accurately <strong>just a fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> with staircase entrances on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is of course a <strong>story behind<\/strong> the bizarre architecture: the many windows (953 in total) were once used to give the <strong>harem ladies<\/strong> a glimpse of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Palace of Breeze is located directly on a <strong>busy street<\/strong>. So as romantic and enchanting as it looks in the photos: in reality the view is unfortunately accompanied by exhaust fumes and car horns. You can also visit the interior of the Palace of Breeze, however most just stop for a photo and then keep driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our tip:<\/strong> you get the best view of the Palace of Breeze from the rooftop of the caf\u00e9s directly opposite (Wind View Caf\u00e9, the Tattoo Caf\u00e9 &amp; Lounge). We would not go there to eat but the view is of course fantastic. Because you are positioned towards the west from here, you can also see the sunset from the caf\u00e9s \u2013 perfect for capturing a photo of the Hawa Mahal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24286\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-24286 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Palast-der-Winde.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Palast der Winde\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jantar Mantar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>observatory<\/strong> dates back to the <strong>18<sup>th<\/sup> century<\/strong> and really impressed us.

The gigantic fortress complex is made of <strong>sandstone and marble<\/strong> and is considered one of the most famous forts in Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amber Fort is terraced. A pathway snakes it\u2019s way from the bottom up to the entrance. At this point we request: please don\u2019t take a ride up on the back of an elephant. It really isn\u2019t necessary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a visit to Amber Fort you stroll through countless buildings, courtyards and gardens. The fort is fairly spacious. So make sure you allow enough time for your visit. The Amber Fort is very well-visited during the day (sometimes overcrowded depending on the time of year). Therefore, we recommend coming early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition: it is worth taking a stop off on the way to the Amber Fort at the moated castle called <strong>Jal Mahal<\/strong>, which rises majestically out of the lake. It cannot be visited, but is a great photo opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Info for visiting the Amber Fort<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Entrance:<\/em>&nbsp;500 Indian rupees<br><em>Opening hours:<\/em>&nbsp;8am until 5:30pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24317\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-24317 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amber-Fort-Jaipur.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Amber Fort Jaipur\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Our Restaurant Tip for Jaipur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we travel we rarely visit restaurants more than once. Not in Jaipur. We visited our favourite restaurant in the city, the <strong>Peacock Rooftop Restaurant<\/strong>, three times because we enjoyed the food so much and also really liked the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, this restaurant is located on a rooftop terrace with a nice view. The best part is the fantastic kitchen: all the dishes that we ordered were delicious. The vegetarian thali in particular is poetry. And: they have incredibly good coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to come in the evening, you are best to make a reservation. During the day you can normally find a table without booking. The best tables are on the top level of the rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24290\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"24290\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" wp-image-24290 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur-684x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restauranttipps-Jaipur.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Restaurant Tips Jaipur\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24292\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"24292\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" wp-image-24292 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps-684x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Restaurant-Jaipur-Tipps.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Best Restaurants in Jaipur\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hotel Tip for Jaipur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to stay the night in a typical <strong>heritage hotel<\/strong> during your trip in India, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/in\/pearl-palace-heritage-the-boutique-guesthouse-jaipur2.de.html?aid=874507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pearl Palace Heritage \u2013 The Boutique Guesthouse<\/a> is the right place for you. Most heritage hotels have a very authentic, often even kitschy charm \u2013 as does this hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>rooms<\/strong> in the Hotel Pearl Palace Heritage look like they are straight out of an <strong>oriental fairy tale<\/strong>: rather cluttered and kitschy, but really unique and decorated with great attention to detail. The facilities and cleanliness are top quality. In addition, the staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breakfast<\/strong> is served at the <strong>Peacock Rooftop Restaurant<\/strong> we mentioned earlier, which is located just a short tuk tuk ride away. The free shuttle also works well. Our conclusion: <strong>highly recommend<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can book the hotel here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/in\/pearl-palace-heritage-the-boutique-guesthouse-jaipur2.de.html?aid=874507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pearl Palace Heritage \u2013 The Boutique Guesthouse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. More Travel Tips: Arrival and Transport while in Jaipur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting there from Agra (Taj Mahal) or Delhi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will probably either travel to Jaipur from Agra (<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/en\/taj-mahal-sunrise\/\">Taj Mahal<\/a>) or from <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/en\/delhi-highlights-and-travel-tips\/\">Delhi<\/a>. It is most common to travel by train or with a private driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Train travel<\/strong> in India is cheap and quite an experience. You travel for about four hours on the train from Agra to Jaipur. It is close to five hours from Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ourselves went from Agra to Jaipur and had a <strong>private driver<\/strong>, which is of course the most comfortable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We like to use <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/train\/new-delhi\/agra\/?z=3918989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">12go.asia<\/a> to book train tickets as well as private transfers. Unfortunately it is not very easy to book a ticket for India while in Europe, because you often need an Indian telephone number to book. However, with 12go.asia you can do it without a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can book your transport here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/train\/new-delhi\/agra\/?z=3918989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Travel to Jaipur via 12go.asia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting around in Jaipur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reach many of the sights inside Jaipur\u2019s old city <strong>on foot<\/strong>. We recommend using motorised <strong>rickshaws<\/strong> for longer distances. We usually paid around 50 Indian rupees per ride \u2013 don\u2019t forget to negotiate upfront! You can find further information on transport in our more detailed travel guide: Travel <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/en\/india-golden-triangle-travel-guide\/\">Tips for the Golden Triangle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"24314\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-24314 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jaipur-Transport.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Jaipur Transport\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disclaimer: Invitation &amp; Affiliate Links<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The German tour operator erlebe covered most of the costs while there (accommodation, transport).
