The 24-Hour Destination: Jaipur
One illustrative day. Hours, traffic and your own pace will change it.
Early morning: Amer Fort, ideally at opening time before tour groups arrive.
Mid-morning: the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar observatory, both in the old city.
Lunch: a local restaurant; ask for the regional dishes.
Afternoon: the bazaars of the walled city, for textiles, jewellery and blue pottery, buying from makers where possible.
Evening: a walk near the Hawa Mahal at golden hour, then dinner.
What to skip if short on time: extra palace museums; see one fort and one old-city monument.
Costs, timings and fees are not listed here and must be confirmed locally.
