The crown jewel of Rajasthan’s lake city
A magnificent fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, City Palace is a treasure trove of mosaics, mirrors, and royal intrigue.

A conglomeration of buildings added by various Maharanas, the palace manages to retain a surprising uniformity of design. The entrance is through Hathii Pol (elephant gate) along the main street of the old city, past the Jagdish Temple. The paintings, mosaics, and the architecturally brilliant facade make the visit a truly memorable experience.

Insider Insight
Enter through Hathii Pol and veer off the main path to explore the zenana (women’s quarters) for a quieter, more intimate experience. Book a private guided tour through the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation to gain access to lesser-known halls and royal memorabilia not open to the public.
One palace, many legacies—each stone tells a tale.
