There are two entrances: the main entrance, approached through Virendra Pol, and an entrance through Udai Pol near Jaleb Chowk. City palace is one of the top tourist’s sites in the city.
It is home to several grand structures like the Chandra Mahal (home to present Maharajah of Jaipur), Mubarak Mahal (housing a textile museum), Diwan-e-Khas (or Hall of Private audience housing the two largest silver vessels in the world (which are duly mentioned in the Guinness book), the Diwan-e-Aam (or Hall of Public Audience) and the gateway Ridhi Sidhi Pol (with four small doorways decorated with motifs depicting the four seasons). Another integrals part of the palace complex is Hawa Mahal standing away from the main complex. The hotels for tourists in Jaipur are quintessentially the perfect example of splendor and magnificence. So there won’t be any kind of problem to visit the amazing City Palace.
Auto rickshaw, cycle rickshaw and taxi are best means of transportation. Large auto rickshaws too run around the city. In order to hire an auto rickshaw for a whole day costs Rs 250.
