City Palace or Sawai Jai Singh's Chandra Mahal (Moon Palace)
A delightful blend of Mughal and traditional Rajasthani architecture, the City Palace sprawls over one-seventh of the area in the walled city. It houses the Chandra Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace Museum.
The City Palace is a historic landmark. The carved arches are supported by grey-white marble columns studded with floral motifs in gold and coloured stones. Two elephants carved in marble guard the entrance, where retainers whose families have served generations of rulers are at hand to serve as guides.
The palace interior houses a Museum containing select collection of various types of Rajasthani dresses, a fascinating armoury of Mughal and Rajput weapons; swords of all shapes and sizes, with chased handles, some of them inlaid, enamelled, encrusted with jewels and encased in bold and magnificent scabbards.
It also has an art gallery with a fine collection of paintings, carpets, royal paraphernalia and rare astronomical works in Arabic, Persian, Latin and Sanskrit, acquired by Sawai Jai Singh-II for his study of planets and their movements. Open: 9.30 am to 5pm.

The Maharani's Palace
Strangely enough the palace of the Queen, now houses the huge display of the Rajput weaponry. And amongst the hundreds of weapons on display here, is one of the most remarkable and deadly piece -- the scissor-action dagger. A fine piece of mechanics: the weapon when thrust into the body, spreads its blades, tearing away the insides completely at the time of being pulled out of the body. A gruesome weapon to use. The armory collection is certainly not for the weak hearted.
The other interesting parts of the Queens Palace are the walls and ceilings with frescoes and gold inlayed art.
As you go further you come to the Diwan- E- Am, which used to be the hall for public audience. This is now a vibrant art gallery showcasing the best Hindu art like precious and ancient hand written Hindu manuscripts, delicate miniature paintings in Rajasthani, Mughal and Persian schools on various themes including the Ramayana and Mahabarata. The palace has well maintained gardens all along, complete with a full range of fountains and well laid out pathways. The palace is open for visitors from 9.30 am to 5.30pm daily.

Statue Circle
This is a traffic roundabout In Jaipur. The Statue Circle is not only the most famed circle, but also the most crowded. It is the favorite lounge of Jaipur and a place for evening out, with 'Meals on Wheels' standing by. Strangely it acquires its name of Statue Circle after its figurine rather -- the statue of Sawai Jai Singh the founder of modern day Jaipur who stands there holding out astrological diagrams to exemplify his proclivity for astrology. The lighting and the colorful fountains cheer up the roundabout and its surrounds. You do not have to make a special visit to this circle, you will pass this circle almost everyday!

The Amber Fort itself is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture made in red sandstone and white marble.

The Jai Mandir is here too, go there to check out the famous Sheesh Mahal, the intricacies of the inlaid panel and dazzling mirror ceilings are worth the visit. Your trip here would be even more exciting if you can catch a ray of light playing magic in these rooms. A good time to go here is early mornings.

Jaigarh Fort
The western skyline is dominated by the extensive parkotas (walls),  watch-towers and gateways of jaigarh. It is one of the few military structures of mediaeval India preserved almost intact containing palaces, gardens, open and covered reservoirs, a granary, an armoury, a well-planned cannon foundry, several temples, a tall tower and a giant mounted cannon-the Jai Ban - the largest in the country.

Nahargarh Fort

The fort has a unique cluster of 12 identical suits for queens with a suit for the king himself at the head. During the peaceful days, the fort used to be an excursion point for the royal family.
