Jaipur

Jaipur Jal Mahal, India This palace was built in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in 1799; only the top five floors and the terrace can be seen above the water. It currently houses a museum. Martin Siepmann/ age fotostock

Jaipur, the rose, is still appealing despite its heavy traffic, incessant noise and pollution. Walk along the rectilinear avenues, almost all dotted with stalls, specialised bazars per trade and terraces, wonderful lively areas. In the south, Jauhari Bazar, the jewelry and fabric market is one of the most attractive parts of the town. Get into the City Palace, a vast palatial complex. It has most of the town's tourist curiosities with its splendid façade of the Wind Palace, first reserved to women of the royal circle, the Astronomical Observatory where there are monumental instruments such as the 88 feet high sundial and the City Palace itself, a blend of Moghol and Rajasthani architectures.
