Jaipur's most-visited monument — a hilltop Rajput fort-palace of pale sandstone and marble overlooking Maota Lake, famous for the mirror-inlaid Sheesh Mahal and the elephant-path approach up to its main gate.

Foreign adult entry is ₹1,000 as of the Jan 1, 2026 Rajasthan monument fee revision (up from ₹300-500 previously). NOT included: the elephant ride up the ramp (~₹1,800-2,500 per elephant, shared by 2 riders — many operators now offer a jeep alternative instead, ~₹500 round trip), and the evening light & sound show (~₹200 English / ~₹100 Hindi). A 2-day, 5-monument Jaipur Composite Ticket also exists for ~₹1,500-1,700 (foreigner) covering this fort plus Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, Albert Hall Museum and Nahargarh Fort — cheaper than paying each separately if visiting 3+.

A five-story pink sandstone screen wall of 953 small latticed windows (jharokhas), built in 1799 so royal women could watch street life below unseen — Jaipur's most photographed facade, best viewed from the street or a rooftop cafe across the road; the interior is a modest walk-through museum, not the main draw.

Foreign adult entry is ₹600 as of the Jan 1, 2026 Rajasthan fee revision (up from ₹200). Open all 7 days, no weekly closure. Many visitors skip entering entirely and just photograph the facade from ground level or a paid rooftop-cafe seat across the street, which is free.

The still-occupied former royal residence of the Maharajas of Jaipur, a sprawling complex of courtyards, the Mubarak Mahal costume gallery, and the Chandra Mahal (still partly the royal family's private residence) right in the heart of the walled city, adjoining Jantar Mantar.

Foreign adult 'Museum' ticket (courtyards + Mubarak Mahal + main galleries) is ₹1,000. City Palace is privately run by the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust, not the state government, so it was NOT part of the Jan 2026 state monument fee revision — its pricing moves independently. A pricier ₹1,250 'Royal Grandeur'/composite ticket adds access to more of the Chandra Mahal's ground-floor gallery rooms; a ₹600 evening ticket covers a shorter night visit.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010 — the largest of the five stone-and-marble astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in the 1720s-30s, including the world's largest stone sundial (the 27m-tall Samrat Yantra), accurate to about 2 seconds.

Foreign adult entry is ₹600 as of the Jan 1, 2026 fee revision (up from ₹200). Foreign students with valid ID get a discounted rate. Open 9:00 AM-7:00 PM, last ticket 6:30 PM.

A ridge-top fort on the Aravalli hills directly above the Pink City, built in 1734 and linked by wall to Jaigarh and Amber Fort; today it's Jaipur's most popular sunset viewpoint, with a rooftop restaurant/bar overlooking the whole city.

Foreign adult entry is ₹600 as of the Jan 1, 2026 fee revision (up from ~₹200). NOT included: a combined Sheesh Mahal + Jaipur Wax Museum ticket inside the fort, ~₹700 for foreigners, sold separately. Open 10:00 AM-5:30 PM.

A military fort on the hill directly above Amber Fort, built to protect it — home to the Jaivana, the world's largest wheeled cannon (cast 1720), and sweeping views over Amber Fort and Maota Lake below.

Foreign adult entry is ₹200 — this price was consistently reported unchanged across every source checked, including ones detailing the Jan 2026 Dept. of Archaeology fee revision that raised Amber/Hawa Mahal/Jantar Mantar/Nahargarh/Albert Hall to ₹600-1,000; Jaigarh appears to be managed separately (by the Jaipur Development Authority rather than the state Dept. of Archaeology) and wasn't included. This is an inference from what changed vs. didn't across sources, not a confirmed administrative fact — worth re-verifying at the gate. Camera fees: ₹50 still / ₹200 video, separate.

Rajasthan's oldest museum (opened 1887), an Indo-Saracenic building set in Ram Niwas Bagh garden just south of the walled city, housing miniature paintings, sculptures, an Egyptian mummy, and metalwork/pottery collections.

Foreign adult entry is ₹600 as of the Jan 1, 2026 fee revision (up from ₹300). Open 9:00 AM-5:00 PM and again 7:00-10:00 PM (illuminated at night). Foreign-language audio guide is extra, ~₹171.

An 18th-century five-story palace that appears to float in the middle of Man Sagar Lake (four of its five floors are underwater when the lake is full) — a striking photo stop on the Amer road, though only the exterior can be seen; it's closed to visitors.

Free. The palace interior is closed to the public for conservation/restoration and boating out to it is currently prohibited — there is no ticket to buy. Visitors view and photograph it from the free public lakeside promenade along Amer Road, open 24 hours.
