Buzzing with the warm energies of bazaars and vividly imagined festivals, the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur (built in imitation of sandstone) is the beloved capital city of Rajasthan, and a favorite among all types of tourists eager to explore what has been understood as the ‘Golden Triangle’ of India in the world of travel. Jaipur is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets. The city is truly an architectural gem - opulent ornamentation has always been a part of its architectural heritage. Best to explore on foot, take a good look around The City Palace – located right at the heart of the city, it is presented to the world as the finest essence of Mughal and Rajputan architecture. Among the sights to see are locals dressed in traditional gear, a wealth of handicrafts, a royal legacy of (blush pink) palaces, and much more. Jaipur's famous bazaars sell Rajasthani jewellery, fabric, embroidered leather shoes, blue pottery, tie and dye scarves and other exotic wares. This exotic destination has been the backdrop of countless romances – in many Bollywood movies, fervent imaginations of poets and romantics, and in the honeymoons of real life couples seeking out a regal and exotic romantic getaway. There are several opportunities for exotic sightseeing and adventure in Jaipur. Here is a definitive list of the best things to do and see in Jaipur:
