Jaipur Blues: what You need to Know About The City
Jaipur
is the capital of Rajasthan. Also known as the pink city of India, Jaipur is
one of my favorite cities in the country as it is one of the most colorful. See
in this post what to do in Jaipur, how to get around and the values of the
main attractions staying in a hotel or Service Apartments Jaipur.
Jaipur, the swirling city of India
As
soon as you arrive in the city you will notice that all the buildings inside
Jaipur's historic center is painted pink (actually a terracotta tone).
However, the story of the uniform color of the buildings goes back to the
maharaja who held absolute power at the time.
Activities
The Hawa Mahal (or the “Palace of Winds”) is a great starting point for those
wishing to experience Jaipur's attractions. With nearly a thousand windows, the
building was part of the Royal Palace, another important tourist spot in
Jaipur. Fun fact: the building was built so that the women of the family of
Marajá could observe the city without being seen.
Walking
around the city, be sure to visit the Albert Museum, which features a
collection of artifacts that tell part of Rajasthan's history.
Just
seven miles from the city is Amber Fort, for many the city's biggest
attraction. The complex, built-in 1592, impresses with its grandeur and
architecture. It is a place to get lost without worrying about the hours. You
can easily have the taste of all these accommodating in a Service Apartment in Jaipur.
Gastronomy
Good
restaurants make Jaipur a culinary destination. Niros (Mirza Ismail Road) is
one of the references. The house offers Chinese dishes and snacks in a refined
environment and great service.
Spice
Court (Jacob Road) works by combining local dishes and cultural performances.
Space is very welcoming, besides providing a differentiated experience to
the visitor.
For
those who prefer something more natural, Dasaprakash (Kamal Mansion) is a great
alternative. The establishment specializes in vegetarian Indian dishes. Worth
trying, even those who do not have this custom.
Shopping
Jaipur
specializes in jewelry, shoes and metal crafts. All the pieces are very
tasteful, and the number of stores is another differential. Choosing the best
place is a complicated task, but the tip is only one: know how to bargain.
Indians like to trade values, so they always offer parts with very high initial
values. If the shopkeeper offers a cold drink, accept and sit on a stool to
talk to. It is the local tradition.
