A 10-minute walk from here brings you to Hawa Mahal , a red-and-pink sandstone structure.

City Palace in Jaipur

City Palace has stood at the heart of the Old City of Jaipur for nearly three centuries, shortly after Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II decided to relocate his court from the city of Amber. Protected by huge guard walls, the fairy-tale-like structure is still the home of the city's modern-day royal family and endures as one of the top places to visit in Jaipur.

City Palace is more than a sand-colored regal abode — it's a sprawling complex of buildings built around a series of landscaped garden courtyards overlooking Jaipur and Lake Palace. The entire property is a stunning display of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.

The current occupants reside in the most eye-catching building, the Chandra Mahal , an elegant structure with curved eaves and domed rooftops. Each of its seven stories features an entirely different style. The ground floor is included in the price of admission, but you'll need to book a private tour to go upstairs.

Other noteworthy places for sightseeing at City Palace include the Mubarak Mahal (Welcome Palace), which contains displays of dazzling costumes and textiles; the Armoury, a museum-like space dedicated to preserving finely crafted daggers and swords; Pritam Niwas Chowk (Peacock Courtyard), which has mesmerizing doorways painted to look like the feathers of its namesake bird; and Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), which showcases the palace's exquisite collection of miniature paintings.

After exploring the palace, check out the Friends of the Museum Bazaar . It has some of Jaipur's highest quality souvenirs (with equally high prices).

Address: Tulsi Marg, Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Jantar Mantar

At first glance, Jantar Mantar may look to be nothing more than a bunch of larger-than-life abstract sculptures. But this is not an art gallery — this attraction contains a special collection of astronomical tools started by Rajput ruler Jai Singh II to measure the heavens nearly 300 years ago.

Each of the 20 or so structures at this UNESCO World Heritage Site serves a distinctive purpose. The observatory's massive sundial, known as Samrat Yantra , is particularly striking. At 27 meters tall, it casts a huge shadow that accurately measures time down to two seconds.

The elaborate Jai Prakash also tracks the passing of time, using the shadow of a metal plate suspended above a sunken bowl-like structure. The ingenious Rama Yantra, a circular walled structure, can locate the precise positions of celestial objects. Other tools at the observatory can track stars and even predict eclipses.

Hot tip: It's worth hiring a private guide at Jantar Mantar if you want to learn how each of the structures works.

Address: Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Hawa Mahal

If you had any preconceived notions about how the buildings in Jaipur look, they probably came from Hawa Mahal (Palace of Breeze). A top place to visit in Jaipur, this structure has all of the distinctive architectural features that appear in postcards of the city, from the salmon-pink, honeycombed facade, built to resemble the crown of the Hindu god Krishna, to the geometric accents and rows of tiny windows.

The landmark was built in 1799 to allow royal ladies to watch festivals on the street without being seen by the public. Its 953 windows allow plenty of breezes to pass through, making it an ideal summer palace (and the perfect spot to get relief from Rajasthan's oppressive heat today).

Tourists can learn about the history of the sandstone structure at the palace's small museum — the ceremonial armor collection is particularly interesting. You can also wander the narrow hallways that run throughout the palace. Don't miss the colorful glasswork in windows and doorways, which cast an otherworldly glow on chambers throughout Hawal Mahal.

Address: Hawa Mahal Rd., Badi Choupad, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Amber Fort

Jaipur is home to one of India's most-visited forts: Amber Fort. Built in the year 1592, the sandstone and marble monolith stands atop a small hill roughly 20 minute's driving distance northeast of the center of Jaipur. This attraction is best known for being a pristine example of Rajasthani architecture.

Getting to Amber Fort typically involves a short uphill hike that's well worth the effort. It's decked out with intricate patterns of inlaid marble in nearly every color of the rainbow. The fort is laid out into four separate sections, each of which has a spectacular garden courtyard outside. While you'd never know it from above, you can actually explore the fort's underground tunnels , some of which have been restored.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site has a fascinating history of legends, betrayals, and romance — but the best way for tourists to hear these stories is to hire a private guide at the Amber Fort.

Address: Devisinghpura, Amer, Jaipur

Albert Hall Museum

When English writer Rudyard Kipling visited the Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur, he wrote that it was a "rebuke to all other museums in India from Calcutta downwards." That's high praise coming from the son of a curator, and fitting for this renowned institution.

The oldest museum in Rajasthan, the Albert Hall Museum boasts an extensive collection of art and historically significant artifacts. Come for the Egyptian mummy ; stay to see antique coins from different periods in India's history, charming permanent exhibits of miniature paintings, 18th-century costumes worn by members of different castes, and a peculiar collection of 19th-century clay figures demonstrating all the yoga poses.

Hot tip: Visit the museum at night, when multicolored lights brighten the exterior of the alluring building.

Address: Museum Road, Ram Niwas Garden, Kailash Puri, Adarsh Nagar, Jaipur

Birla Mandir

In a city that seems to be dipped from top to bottom in pink, the stark white marble Birla Mandir stands out — big time. The Hindu temple pays tribute to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and purity, and Vishnu, one of the religion's main deities. It's one of the best places to visit in Jaipur for tourists and Hindu devotees alike.

The marvelous structure exudes a quiet, peaceful vibe, offering just the right atmosphere to appreciate fine marble carvings, shrines to gods, and gorgeous sunset views. While you don't need more than 30 minutes to get a sense of the space, the experience will prove to be a restorative break from a day of sightseeing.

Address: Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, Tilak Nagar, Jaipur

Nahargarh Fort

When it comes to sightseeing around Jaipur, the views don't get better than what you'll find at Nahargarh Fort. Also known as Tiger Fort , this nearly 300-year-old attraction overlooks the entire city from atop the Aravalli Hills — a prime location for the structure to defend the city against enemies many years ago.

More than just a formidable barrier though, this fort also contains Madhavendra Bhawan , a summer destination for royalty. The sumptuous Rajasthani building features a dozen identical boudoirs for the queens, which all connect to the king's suite through mural-filled corridors.

Tourists can also explore the fort's wax museum and sculpture park. And if you're feeling hungry, swing by one of the fort's many restaurants to tuck into traditional Indian cuisine.

Address: Krishna Nagar, Brahampuri, Jaipur

Galta Ji

Sources of water can be few and far between in the desert state of Rajasthan. So it's no wonder that when people discovered a natural spring in a mountain pass in the Aravalli Hills , they honored it by building the Hindu temple Galta Ji.

Nestled between cliffs, the temple features a few sacred water tanks, some with modest fountains, as well as frescoes that tell tales about the Hindu god Krishna.

Galta Ji is also one of the best places to visit in Jaipur if you want to see monkeys . It's home to hundreds of macaques and langurs (hence its nickname, "The Monkey Temple"). Daring tourists might opt to buy a handful of peanuts at the gate to tempt the monkeys, but you're better off just watching the rambunctious creatures from a distance.

Indian bracelets with diamonds and jewels

When the founders of the beloved Indian jewelry brand Amrapali Jewels started collecting antique jewelry in the late 1970s, they realized that some of these one-of-a-kind treasures deserved to be preserved and displayed. And so the Amrapali Museum was born, instantly becoming one of the top places to visit in Jaipur.

The jewelry museum in Jaipur features two full floors of glistening jewels and objects from its 4,000-piece collection, showcasing the vast range of Indian craftsmanship.

The displays show just how seriously Rajasthani people take their gold, silver, and precious gems. Among the jewels, you'll see silver bands for horses' legs, a chariot fully covered in silver, embellished shoe covers, and a glorious crown for a groom from Himachal Pradesh.

While these pieces are for display only, there's an extensive range of necklaces, bracelets, and other wearables available for purchase at the Museum Shop.

For much of history, Rajasthan's most important handicrafts and works of art lived in private collections that were unavailable for viewing by the majority of the public. That all changed when the Government of Rajasthan opened the Museum of Legacies in 2017.

Housed in a two-centuries-old mansion, this tourist attraction showcases an assortment of Indian embroidery, giant Rajasthani puppets, Pichwai paintings, and much more.

Don't miss the magnificent marble latticework. The amount of swirling detail the artisans were able to carve from such a strong, hard stone is hypnotic.

Address: Kishanpole Bazar Road, Modikhana, Jaipur

Jal Mahal on Man Sagar Lake

One look at the Jal Mahal, and you might think you're seeing a mirage. The graceful palace seems to float atop the twinkling Man Sagar Lake — a calm sight compared to the rest of the frenzied city.

While it appears to have just one story, the Water Palace has four other levels submerged beneath a reservoir. The government no longer allows tourists to visit the site, but you can stroll a pathway around the lake to catch gorgeous views of the attraction. At night, it's lit up in all its glory, casting a golden, glowing reflection on the water.

Rajasthani puppets for sale in Jaipur

Jaipur is a mecca for souvenirs. Markets in the Pink City brim with everything from costume jewelry and precious gemstones to embroidered textiles, cobalt blue pottery, and Rajasthani puppets.

For a no-hassle shopping experience, head to the Rajasthali Handicrafts Emporium across from Ajmeri Gate. The government-run shop sells high-quality traditional handicrafts, like blue pottery decorated with yellow flowers, sets of wooden carvings depicting Rajasthani characters, and hand-printed saris. The prices you see on these items are fixed, so while you won't be able to negotiate a discount, you can also avoid the headache of bargaining.

Johari Bazar is a jewelry lover's paradise. The market glitters from top to bottom with dozens of shops selling everything from costume jewelry to fine silver and gold. No matter your budget, you'll find something beautiful to take home from here.

Finally, don't leave Jaipur without a quick shopping trip to Bapu Bazar. Located just a few blocks southwest of Johari Bazaar, the tourist-favorite market is chock full of handcrafted trinkets, locally made textiles, bedazzled slippers, and souvenirs galore.

Jaigarh Fort

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort is one of the best places to visit in Jaipur if you want a remarkable view and up-close access to historical artifacts. It's best known for housing the Jaivana Cannon, which was considered to be the world's largest cannon on wheels when it was built in the early 18th century.

Visiting the attraction gives tourists an appreciation for the fort's role in keeping Jaipur and the surrounding area safe from invaders. Spread over a range of three kilometers, the fort features thick sandstone walls and a series of subterranean passages. It's thought to be the strongest of Jaipur's forts.

Beyond fortified, though, the fort was also an opulent place when it was in use. You can still see its majestic palace complex and intricate architecture on tours today.

Panna Meena ka Kund

Another one of the popular things to do in Amer after visiting the Amber Fort is taking a 10-minute walk south to visit Panna Meena ka Kund, a stepwell that dates back to the 16th century.

Locals used to come to this spot to fill their pots with water for rituals and household chores. It was also the go-to place to cool off from the intense desert heat.

Today, the attraction's primary purpose is as a backdrop for tourist photos — and for good reason. Its golden yellow hue and labyrinthine steps, which look like they were plucked from one of M.C. Escher's artworks, make for postcard-worthy images . But as tempting as it might be to enter the beautiful attraction for a selfie, Panna Meena ka Kund does not allow visitors to go inside, so keep your photo shoot to the exterior only.

Akshardham Temple in Jaipur at night

Akshardham Temple might look like an ancient site, but don't be fooled — this attraction was built in the 21st century as part of a series of 10 temples dedicated to the Hindu god Narayana (a form of Lord Vishnu).

Still, the 23-acre religious complex is an impressive place to spend the afternoon. The white marble and pink sandstone temple showcases the intricacy of Hindu architecture with its stone carvings of Hindu deities, animals, and scenery. Step inside to see massive pure-gold statues and pristine paintings. There's also a peaceful garden courtyard brimming with lush plants and a musical fountain just outside.

Address: Vidyut Nagar, Vaishali Nagar, Chitrakoot, Jaipur

Elephant Festival in Jaipur

Attending an annual festival is one of the top things to do in Jaipur, and the city's calendar is chock full of events.

In January, you can watch colorful creations fly through the sky during the International Kite Festival and get books signed by famous authors at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

The city hosts its Elephant Festival, during which the tusked animals are painted with Indian motifs and dressed in extravagant costumes, in February or March (depending on the moon cycle). And the two-day Teej Festival, a celebration that honors the union of Shiva and the goddess Parvati, occurs in July or August.

However, the recent addition of many cool shops, bars, cafes, and creative spaces has made the city quite hip too. Read on to discover the best things to do in Jaipur.

Pink City Rickshaw Company

Fancy zipping around Jaipur on an electric Segway ? Or, going sightseeing in a classic restored Ambassador car , or custom-designed e-rickshaw driven by an enterprising lady from a low-income household ? Perhaps you're the sporty type and would prefer to explore the city on a cycling tour ? There are all kinds of memorable off-beat tours in Jaipur. They cover attractions such as the Old City, markets, food, and Jaipur by night.

Join an Old City Heritage Walk

Delve into Jaipur's Old City beyond its famous monuments on one of the early morning or evening immersive heritage walking tours conducted by Vedic Walks . Depending on which tour you choose, you'll get to visit communities of artisans such as bangle-makers and metal workers, gemstone workshops, ancient temples, a traditional Ayurvedic hospital, and old stables converted into a market. The tours depart at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., and run for about two and a half hours. Another option is this insightful Temples and Havelis Walking Tour conducted by Virasat Experiences. It uncovers some of the Old City's lesser known-architectural wonders and traditions of local communities.

Have an Encounter with Royalty

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built the City Palace as part of his new capital in Jaipur. It was completed in 1732 and has an expansive complex of courtyards. The royal family still lives there, in the graceful Chandra Mahal. Various parts of the palace are open to the public according to the type of ticket purchased. Standard City Palace composite tickets cost 300 rupees for Indians and 700 rupees for foreigners. These provide access to palace courtyards, galleries, Jaigarh fort, and the royal cenotaphs. A highlight is the palace's Pritam Niwas Chowk with its colorful painted doorways representing the different seasons. Other attractions include displays of royal costumes, old Indian weapons, paintings and photographs. Special tickets provide access (with a guide) to the royal family's private quarters, and start from 1,500 rupees for Indians and 2,000 rupees for foreigners.

The City Palace is situated in the Old City and is open daily from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. It reopens from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the evenings for a sound and light show, plus night viewing. Tickets for this cost 500 rupees for Indians and 1,000 rupees for foreigners. For an extra special experience, have dinner at the City Palace's Baradari restaurant while you're there.

Go Behind the Iconic Wind Palace

The intricate facade of the Hawa Mahal (Wind Palace) is possibly Jaipur's most photographed building. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh constructed it in 1799 as an extension of the women's quarters of the City Palace, to enable the royal women to look out over the main street below without being observed. Wind used to flow through the shutters, giving the palace its name. However, most are now sealed closed to help preserve them. It's possible to go inside the Hawa Mahal from the entrance around the back. Government composite tickets, costing 300 rupees for Indians and 1,000 rupees for foreigners, are available from Rajasthan's Department of Archaeology & Museums . These tickets are valid for two days and also include Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Jantar Mantar observatory, and Albert Hall Museum. Otherwise, the entry fee is 50 rupees for Indians and 200 rupees for foreigners. The Hawa Mahal is open daily from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Find out more in this essential guide to the Hawa Mahal.

Learn About Astronomy

Jantar Mantar's intriguing structures are actually a collection of astrological instruments. Each has a specialized astronomical function such as measuring time, predicting eclipses, and tracking stars. The most impressive one is the huge Samrat Yantra sundial. At a height of 90 feet (27 meters), its shadow moves roughly the width of a person's hand every minute. It's a profound display of how quickly time does in fact go! Jantar Mantar (literally meaning "calculation instrument") is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of five such astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, a renowned mathematician and astronomer. It was completed in 1738 and is located next to the City Palace in the Old City. The entrance fee, for those who don't have a government composite ticket, is 50 rupees for Indians and 200 rupees for foreigners.

Explore Amber Fort and Palace

TripSavvy / Alicia Erikson

Like something out of a fairy tale, Amber Fort sits atop a hill overlooking Maota Lake about 30 minutes north of the city center. Maharaja Man Singh I, who led Mughal Emperor Akbar's army, commenced constructing the fort in 1592. It was the home of Kachwaha Rajput rulers until Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II relocated their capital to Jaipur city in 1727. Inside is a series of lavish palaces, halls, gardens, and temples. Elaborate mirror work adds to the grandeur. Amber Fort is open daily from 8 a.m. until 5.30 p.m. Many people choose to remain there for the evening sound and light show that brings to life the fort's history, night viewing, and dinner at opulent restaurant 1135 AD (which was once the king's private dining room). The fort reopens, evocatively illuminated, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. The entry fee during the day for those who don't have a government composite ticket is 100 rupees for Indians and 500 rupees for foreigners. Plan your trip with this complete guide to Amber Fort.

See the World's Largest Cannon on Wheels

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built Jaigarh Fort in 1726 to protect Amber Fort. This fort holds great appeal for military lovers, as it contains the world's largest cannon on wheels. The cannon has never been fired though, and neither has the fort been captured. As a result, it has remained impressively intact over its long life. In fact, the fort is one of the best-preserved military structures of medieval India. Jaigarh doesn't have the delicate palace interiors of Amber Fort, and therefore appears as a real fortress. Climb Diwa Burj watchtower to get an outstanding view over the plains. The fort is situated above Amber Fort and can be reached on foot (if you're fit!). It's open from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. daily. Those who don't have a City Palace composite ticket must pay an entry fee of 50 rupees for Indians and 100 rupees for foreigners.

Admire the Remarkable Water Palace

Jaipur's remarkable Jal Mahal (Water Palace) appears to magically float on Man Sagar Lake near Amber Fort. Not a lot is known about its history but Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I is thought to have made it a lodge for royal duck hunting trips in the mid 18th century. The palace actually has four floors that are submerged below the water, with specially designed lime mortar to prevent water seepage. Unfortunately, despite being renovated, the palace not yet open to the public, so you'll have to be content with viewing it from the side of the lake.

Spend Sunset at Nahargarh Fort

Compact yet robust Nahargarh Fort (also known as Tiger Fort) is perched high on the rugged Aravali Hills northwest of Jaipur city. Sawai Jai Singh II commissioned it in 1734 to help strengthen the security of his new capital. It found fame in 2006, after scenes from the hit Bollywood movie Rang De Basanti were filmed there. The fort provides spectacular views over the city, particularly at sunset. Inside, the highlight is the Madhavendra Bhavan palace complex, which is the backdrop for the new Sculpture Park. There's also a wax museum, elegant fine-dining restaurant called Once Upon a Time, and a budget government-run restaurant called Padao. If you don't have a government composite ticket, you'll need to pay an entry fee of 50 rupees or Indians and 200 rupees for foreigners to access the palace part of the fort. Those who are feeling energetic can hike up to the fort from the Old City. The main palace part is open from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. daily. Refer to this essential guide to Nahargarh Fort for more information.

Relax at the Royal Cenotaphs

Despite being included in the City Palace composite ticket, the Gatore ki Chhatriyan cenotaphs at the foothills of Nahargarh Fort are overlooked by most tourists. This makes them delightfully restful most of the time. The superbly carved cenotaphs honor Jaipur's deceased kings, from Sawai Jai Singh ll to Man Singh ll. The most impressive cenotaph is dedicated to Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh ll. It's made out of white marble, has 20 pillars, and is decorated in carvings of Hindu gods and people. The cenotaph complex is open daily from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Take the Jaipur-Amber Road and turn off near Jal Mahal to get there. The entry fee for those who don't have a City Palace composite ticket is 40 rupees for Indians and 100 rupees for foreigners. Nearby Garh Ganesh temple is worth visiting too.

Go on a Heritage Water Walk

There are two little-known but important stepwells with amazing architecture around Jaipur (one at Nahargarh and the other near Amber Fort). You can learn about their functionality and the sacredness of water in Rajasthani culture on the informative walking tours conducted by Heritage Water Walks. The explanation of the ancient water catchment systems used to supply water to the forts is fascinating. The tours run for two hours. The cost is 1,000-1,100 rupees per person for Indians and 1,300-1,500 rupees for foreigners. Timings are flexible.

Pose for Photos Inside Patrika Gate

Jaipur's ninth and most colorful gate, Patrika Gate, graces the entrance to Jawahar Circle garden five minutes north of Jaipur airport. This recently constructed but traditional-style ornamental gate is named after the Rajasthani newspaper and media company, Patrika. Its interior walls are covered in splendid paintings depicting scenes from daily life and various regions in Rajasthan. Not surprisingly, it's one of the most popular places for photo shoots in Jaipur.

Get Up Close to Monkeys

The rather ruinous but holy Galtaji temple is nestled between two granite cliffs at the far eastern edge of the city. It's part of a larger temple complex, which also has three sacred pools of water. One of the pools has been taken over by thousands of monkeys that congregate there to swim and bathe. They're generally friendly and love to be fed. Unfortunately, the area is not well maintained. Be prepared to encounter dirt and trash, as well as people who will coerce you to pay money. Visit late afternoon, near sunset, when the monkeys flock to the temple. To get there, from the road walk up the hill to the white Sun Temple, and then follow the steps downhill into the gorge.

Take a Hot Air Balloon Flight

Jaipur is one of the most majestic spots for hot air balloon flights in India. Skywaltz operates two different routes. The main one is just north of Jaipur, surrounding Amber fort. The balloons drift over local villages, forts, and palaces. The other route covers the untouched area around Samode Palace and village. Starting points vary depending on wind speed and direction. The duration of the flight is about an hour, and the cost is from $190 per person. The season extends from September to April.

Shop 'Til You Drop

Thanks to Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who turned Jaipur into a commercial hub by inviting artisans and traders to settle there, the city is a great place to shop! You'll find an enticing variety of goods including precious gemstones , silver jewelry, bangles, clothes, perfumes, blue pottery, and textiles. The lanes in the Old City's bazaars are each dedicated to specific handicrafts. In Tripolia Bazaar, head to crowded Maniharon ka Rasta for lacquer bangles (Awaz Mohammed is an award-winning bangle-maker). Inexpensive jewelry is sold at Johari Bazaar, while Bapu Bazaar has textiles. Metal-workers occupy Thateron ka Rasta, Jhalaniyon Ka Rasta has spice sellers, and Khajanewalon Ka Rasta is the place for marble statues. M.I. Road is lined with upmarket branded stores. Here are some top places to go shopping in Jaipur. Alternatively, Virasat Experiences offers shopping tours to local markets. Do note that many stores are closed on Sundays.

Be Dazzled at the Wholesale Flower Market

Early risers shouldn't miss the fragrant wholesale flower market, known as phool mandi , which takes place just inside the Old City's Chandi ki Taksal Gate. It gets underway at around 6 a.m., with traders selling sacks filled to the brim with bright blooms such as marigolds and roses. The flowers are used by garland makers, as offerings in temples, and as decorations for weddings. Combine your visit with the neighboring fruit and vegetable market as well. If it's a Saturday, the Hatwara flea market pops up there too and is delightfully free of tourists.

View an Egyptian Mummy

Jaipur's Albert Hall Museum is housed in a magnificent old Indo-Saracenic building that was completed in 1187. It's Rajasthan's oldest museum and has an eclectic collection with many items from the city's past including portraits of kings, costumes, jewelry, woodcarvings, paintings, sculptures and pottery. However, the most notable exhibit is an Egyptian mummy, belonging to the Ptolemaic dynasty. Unfortunately photography isn't allowed. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and again for night viewing from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. when it's illuminated. The entry fee for those who don't have a government composite ticket is 40 rupees for Indians and 300 rupees for foreigners. Night entry tickets are 100 rupees per person irrespective of nationality.

Discover Rajasthan's Arts and Crafts

The Rajasthan government recently converted the Rajasthan School of Arts building in the Old City into a museum dedicated to the state's arts and crafts. The Museum of Legacies opened in 2017 and is housed in a mansion that was originally constructed in 1823 as the residence of Pandit Shivdeen (a minister in the court of Maharaja Ram Singh II). The building itself is one of the main attractions. Its five galleries are spread over three floors, and each displays a collection curated by a noteworthy individual in the arts scene in India. Indigenous arts are a feature. The museum also has a dedicated space for young artists to exhibit their works. It's open from noon to 8 p.m. daily except Mondays (closed). Entry is free.

The center has two permanent art galleries, six exhibition galleries, a library, and coffee house that portrays lesser-known aspects of astronomy through art work. It's open from 9.30 a.m to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.

Admire Gorgeous Antique Jewelry

Amrapali Museum is another new museum in Jaipur. This one opened in 2018 and is India's first museum dedicated to jewelry and jeweled objects. As its name suggests, it was founded by Amrapali, a renowned Indian luxury jewelry house favored by Bollywood stars. All the exhibits in this remarkable museum are from the personal collection of the brand's owners, which they've amassed over 40 years from the time they started sourcing jewelry and opened their business. There are some very unusual items such as silver anklets for horses, a Parsi necklace with a hidden message, a holy water flask, bejeweled tooth cleaners, and ruby-studded back-scratcher with conceal blades. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Tickets cost 600 rupees per person and include an audio guide.

Sample Rajasthani Cuisine

For all kinds of local street food in one spot, head to Masala Chowk -- an open-air food court in Ram Niwas Garden, close to Albert Hall Museum. Many of the city's much-loved street food vendors have stalls there. It's open daily from around 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. There's an entry fee of 10 rupees per person.

Chokhi Dhani serves up authentic rural cuisine in a recreated 12.5 acre Rajasthani village setting about 40 minutes south of Jaipur. It's quite touristy, with cultural performances such as puppet shows and folk dances, so is best suited to first-time visitors. Opening hours are 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Foodies may also like to discover the ingredients and essentials of Rajasthani cooking on this food walk in the Old City or culinary cooking experience in a local home, offered by Virasat Experiences.

India's roadside masala chai (spiced tea) is ubiquitous but not all tourists feel comfortable drinking it from a stall. You can enjoy delicious masala chai in a cool, clean environment at Tapri the Tea House. where roadside chai meets hipster hangout. Tapri Central on Prithviraj Road in C-Scheme is the original and best of the three Tapri outlets in Jaipur.

If tea stalls are more your style, try the uniquely flavored tea at Sahu Chaiwala , opposite Sai Baba Mandir on Chaura Rasta in the Old City. This family-run tea stall was established in 1968. They slow boil the milk on a coal stove. It's open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Gulab Ji Chai's long-running stall on M.I. Road also has a loyal following. Their chai is now available at the new and cute D'Good Cafe in Bani Park.

Have a Drink at Bar Palladio

Bar Palladio

Bar Palladio, at the historic Narain Niwas Palace Hotel, is possibly Jaipur's most photogenic bar. Renowned Dutch designer Marie-Anne Oudejans created its interiors, and they are stunning. The bar is an ideal spot for a post-sightseeing cocktail or gin, accompanied by delicious Italian food. It's open daily from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. In the evening, the atmosphere is magical, with tented garden pavilions and candlelight.

See a Bollywood Movie at Raj Mandir

A lot of people who go to see a movie at Raj Mandir on Bhagwant Das Road (near M.I. Road) do so to mainly to have a look inside. Its owner, a reputed Jaipur jeweler, wanted to create a cinema that makes the audience feel like they're a guest of a royal palace. The way it has been designed -- resplendent with spiral staircase, antique chandeliers, and a ceiling that changes color -- is certainly intriguing.

Immerse yourself in Jaipur's regal heritage by staying in an authentic palace hotel, or a less costly hertiage property. There are plenty to choose from. The magnificent Taj Rambagh Palace used to be the home of the Maharaja of Jaipur and is the pick of the bunch if budget isn't a constraint. It's worth treating yourself!

The windows of this palace have been designed in such a way that irrespective of the time or season of the year, cool breeze always persists inside the palace. Due to this reason, Hawa Mahal was the favourite summer holiday destination of the Rajput family and is today a popular place to visit in Jaipur.

Another purpose of this palace was to prevent outsiders from catching a glimpse of the royal women. The incredible lattice of windows were designed in a way that it allowed a clear view of the outside world to the insiders, yet restricted outsiders from being able to stare inside the palace.

Central Park

#11 – Amer Fort – Possibly one of the most important places to visit in Jaipur

Amer Fort

  • Gorgeous architecture
  • Important history
  • Splendid views

Why it’s awesome: The stunning Amer Fort (also sometimes known as the Amber Fort) is one of Jaipur’s most-visited and most important historical sites. Perched on a hill, the striking fort is built from marble and red sandstone. Surrounded by high ramparts and imposing gates, it’s easy to imagine how the defensive structure would have intimidated potential enemies in times gone by. Spread across four levels, the fortress was once home to Rajput Maharajas. The present structure dates back to the 1500s (with many additions and alterations made over the years), though it stands on the site of a much older fortress. Today, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

What to do there: Ride a jeep up the steep and winding road up the hill to reach the stunning Amer Fort, admiring the pale outer walls as you journey closer to the fortress. Do note that it is also possible to ride brightly painted elephants up to the fortress, but because of concerns of animal cruelty this is not something that we endorse—do your homework before deciding whether this is something you want to do, taking into account all ethical considerations.

Enter the vast complex through the Sun Gate to stand in the first courtyard where mighty military parades once took place. Climb the steps up to the main palace area, detouring to look around the Sila Devi Temple and the Public Audience Hall, pass through the ornate Ganesh Gate, and explore the former private quarters of royalty. Stroll through the elegant and well-tended gardens and be dazzled by the many opulent and lavish features.

Jai Mandir, with its gleaming glass, marble reliefs, and sparkling mirrors, is especially eye catching. Continue to the fourth courtyard and see where the royal ladies once lived, peering inside the many rooms that once housed wives and concubines. Don’t skip the Palace of Man Singh I; the oldest part of the complex, it is filled with exquisite details.

#12  – Mirza Ismail Road – A must-see for foodies

  • A major road in Jaipur
  • Known as the heart of Jaipur
  • Wide array of street foods and eateries
  • Several interesting landmarks

Why it’s awesome: Mirza Ismail Road, commonly shortened to simply MI Road, is one of Jaipur’s main thoroughfares. Running between Sanganeri Gate and Government Hostel, most of the nearby major roads eventually meet with MI Road. There are a couple of historic monumental gateways along the road, as well as a popular cinema, markets, and shops. It’s also a top spot for food fans, with a great selection of street food specialties and sit-down restaurants ranging from the quick and casual to the more upmarket and formal.

What to do there: Snap photos of the Sanganeri Gate, an impressive pink gateway that’s decorated with pale motifs and that spans the road, and the arched Ajmeri Gate, which is another vision of loveliness in dusky pink and cream tones. Try the popular dish of dal bati churma, which consists of a baked ball of dough coated in ghee and eaten with lentils.

Let your senses, cravings, and hunger pangs guide you as you sample various other local and national delights, such as kachori, golgappa, kaathi roll, keema baati, chicken tikka, and shrikhand. Leave plenty of space for ice cream and other sweet treats and a glass of lassi or warming cup of masala chai.

Also, remember that travelling safely means being extra careful with what you ingest while abroad especially in terms of street food. If in doubt, don’t eat it!

  • Small island in the lake
  • Beneath the spectacular Amber Fort
  • Scene of religious rituals

Why it’s awesome: Once the main source of water for the famous Amer Fort, Maota Lake played a vital part during the area’s development. A scenic natural spot, there’s also a small artificial island (Kesar Kyari Bagh) in the waters. The lake is a great place for pictures that combine natural scenery and historic buildings.  The yearly Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations see a large parade and a statue of Ganesh is ritually cleaned in the lake’s blue waters. The lake is free to visit, making it especially great for budget travellers.

What to do there: Take a picturesque stroll around the edges of the lake, admiring the pretty scenes that include the lake, the fort, and the island. Try to time your visit for earlier on in the day before the temperatures start to soar. Cross the walkway to the island and wander through the neat and verdant gardens. The gardens are said to have been created to give the royal ladies in the palace something pretty to look at.

#20 – Achrol Fort – One of the most underrated places to see in Jaipur

Achrol Fort

  • Old ruined fortress
  • Great trekking opportunities
  • Overgrown with a deserted feeling

Why it’s awesome: Achrol Fort is one of Jaipur’s forgotten historic fortresses. It was built in the 1500s. Left to the elements, it now sits in an atmospheric state of decay with nature winning the fight to reclaim its space. Overgrown and fairly wild, the ruins have thick but now crumbling walls, water reservoirs that are now stagnant, and towers that must have once stood proudly but now look rather forlorn. Somehow, the ruined state only adds to the charm. Few visitors make it to the old elevated fortress so those who do make the trip can explore in peace and quiet.

What to do there: Follow the uneven and rugged path up to the foot, taking care to avoid slipping on the jagged rocks and loose earth. Wearing sensible shoes is highly recommended! Hear whispers from the past as you walk around the ruins and imagine how mighty and impressive the fortress must have been in its heyday. Have a look around the havelli, complete with fading and chipped wall and ceiling paintings and carvings and other ornate touches on the outer walls.

#21 – Sisodia Rani Garden – One of Jaipur’s coolest historical sites!

Sisodia Rani Garden

  • Blend of traditional Indian and Mughal architectural styles
  • Picturesque gardens
  • No admission fee

Why it’s awesome: Sisodia Rani Garden was created on the orders of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1728. It takes its name from the queen that it was built for, the ruler’s second queen. The queen used to visit the garden to relax and enjoy being outdoors. The multi-level royal gardens are attractive with many interesting ornamental features and lush foliage.

Buildings combine both Indian and Mughal styles, and there are elements from the two major religions of Hinduism and Islam. The former palace is also open to visitors. There are religious scenes painted throughout the palace as well as a small shrine in the gardens. There are no charges to visit the garden (although there is a nominal entrance fee to look around the palace building).

What to do there: Make like a queen of old and relax in the pretty gardens, surrounded by attractive flowers, singing birds, fountains, waterways, and lots of greenery. It’s a great place to lose yourself in the pages of your favourite book and while away the hours away from the chaotic and crowded city streets. Explore the gardens and its various architectural gems, including handsomely painted pavilions and galleries.

Visit the two-level palace on the gardens top terrace to see where the treasured queen used to stay. View the detailed religious scenes showing the life of Lord Krishna. Stories say that the ruler deliberately commissioned paintings of Lord Krishna and Radha to demonstrate the vast love that he had for his queen.

#22 – Ranthambore National Park – A must visit place to visit in Jaipur on the weekend!

Ranthambore National Park

  • Famous for being home to wild tigers
  • Previous hunting ground for royalty
  • One of India’s biggest national parks
  • Exciting activities and nature spotting

Why it’s awesome: Within easy reach of Jaipur, the expansive Ranthambore National Park is one of the nation’s biggest national parks and should be of interest to all responsible travellers with the best interests of wildlife and conservation at heart. Covering 392 square kilometres (151 square miles), the park contains forests and meadows, lakes and streams. Rich with wildlife, it’s one of the best places in India to see tigers in their natural habitat.

Conservation and education efforts have led to an increase in the number of tigers in the park. It is also home to a variety of other fascinating creatures. Once a royal hunting ground, the national park also has an old fortress within its boundaries. It’s a top place for a weekend trip from Jaipur for anyone who loves exploring nature and observing exciting creatures in a natural setting. It’s also a perfect location for avid fans of wildlife photography.

What to do there: Join a variety of tours through the park, including wildlife-spotting safaris, specialist bird-watching trips, and hiking. Hike with an experienced local guide to the historic Ranthambhore Fort, passing an assortment of creatures along the way. The tenth-century fort sits on elevated ground and has three stone temples. Take an exhilarating three-hour safari to cover more ground and potentially see more wildlife.

As well as the famous Bengal tigers the national park is also home to animals like leopards, hyenas, sloth bears, macaque monkeys, langurs, crocodiles, and wild boar. There are many types of birds as well. Furthermore, the park sustains more than 500 species of flowering plants. You can also see one of India’s biggest banyan trees, with its hanging tendrils and twisty, gnarled roots. Soak up the views of the picture-perfect lakes within the park too.

#23 – Bhangarh Fort – Cool place to see in Jaipur with friends

Bhangarh Fort jaipur

  • Historic fortress
  • Said to be one of the most haunted forts in all of India
  • Cool architecture
  • Lots of places to explore within the complex

Why it’s awesome: Located in the foothills of the Aravali Hills, Bhangarh Fort was constructed in the 17 th century. Despite its age, it is still well preserved today. There are various buildings throughout the large complex, including palaces, temples, and grand residences known as havellis. The site is often quiet and visitors can commonly explore in relative solitude. Steeped in eerie local legends, stories tell of a deadly curse. It is said that a wizard fell in love with one of the princesses of the fortress. In his pursuit of the beautiful princess he attempted to give her a love potion. She refused and hurled the magic liquid onto a boulder.

The boulder dislodged and crushed the magic man. Before dying, the wizard issued a curse on the fort, saying that it would soon meet devastation and destruction. Shortly afterwards the fortress was invaded by Mughal forces, who killed everybody in their path. Local lore says that the curse will only be quashed when the princess is reborn and returns to the fort. More tales tell of another curse imposed by a local sadhu. According to local myths, the sadhu prohibited anyone from building any structure within the fort that caused a shadow to land on his humble home. One person defied the sadhu, who became angry and cursed the fortress. The eerie ruins are said to be among the most haunted places in the whole of India.

What to do there: See the once glorious havelis that line the dusty and somewhat desolate road that leads to the old abandoned fortress. Sturdy craved wooden doors are kept secured today with big rusty padlocks, a big difference to in times gone by. Explore the large fortress complex, keeping a keen eye open for signs of unusual, ghostly, and supernatural sights. Think of the ill-fated people of the fort as you explore the remains of the King’s Palace and temples.

There are small but ornate temples dedicated to various deities including Hanuman (the Monkey God), Ganesh (the Elephant God), and Shiv Mahadev. The stepwell at the Someshwara Temple is especially photogenic. See where the resident priest once lived, stroll through the long-deserted but once bustling marketplace, admire the pretty pond and stream, and see monumental gateways. You can also see an old Islamic tomb just outside the fort’s boundaries.

#24 – Smriti Van – A beautiful and scenic place to check out in Jaipur

Smriti Van in jaipur

  • Natural splendour
  • Romantic destination
  • Rich array of flora and fauna
  • Tranquil and serene ambience

Why it’s awesome: The bio-diverse forest of Smriti Van is a pleasant sanctuary for those wanting to get away from city life for a while and explore nature. The park has a somewhat sad history—it was created on the back of intense and destructive flooding in the early 1980s. The floodwaters created deep chasms and people planted trees here to remember loved ones. The local government later decided to turn the area into a forest, and it was opened to the public in 2007. There are 11 zones within the park, each offering something different for visitors. There are many types of plants and people can enjoy outdoor activities.

What to do there: Discover the various areas of Smriti Van and see the wide assortment of flora. Visit the main area of Vasundhra Van, rich with diverse plants and trees. At Aravali Van you can see plant life that is typical to the Aravali Hills, while Rashtriya Van and Java Kusum Van display plants from all around India. The herb garden is also well worth a visit. Pay a visit to the Eco-Environment Museum to see images of the different plants and birds found throughout the park. Sarovar is an ideal place to spot different birds and fish in and around the ponds. Get your morning exercise along the walking/jogging trails and relish the peace and serenity.

#25 – Nahargarh Fort – A great place to visit Jaipur at night

Nahargarh Fort jaipur

  • Large and popular historic fortress
  • Fabulous vistas
  • Lit up at night time
  • Mountain location

Why it’s awesome: Dominating the local landscape within the Aravalli Hills, the magnificent and statuesque Nahargarh Fort was constructed in the 1730s. The fortress was never attacked. It was, however, used to provide a safe haven for Europeans during the uprisings. An extensive complex, there are various interesting buildings within the defensive outer walls, including a 12-room palace for the royal ladies and temples.

Ghost stories surround the fort, with tales of hauntings. There’s a splendid park in the fortress complex too, letting people enjoy nature and history at the same time. There are terrific views from the high fort and it’s beautifully illuminated in the darkness. The complex has been used as a filming location for several productions.

What to do there: Stand in the open courtyard where the ruler used to meet with townsfolk to hear their issues and attempts to seek resolutions. Make merit and pay your respects in the sacred temples, paying particular attention to the temple dedicated to a ghostly prince that is said to have once troubled the fortress. See the guns that, although never used for war, were used to indicate the time. Marvel at the glorious frescoes inside the 12-room Madhavendra Bhawan, which was once the living quarters of the queens.

If you want to delve deeper into the fort’s past you can hire an informative guide to take you around the site. Don’t miss seeing the diverse nature within Nahargarh Biological Park, and get active with hiking and cycling adventures. While the fortress is impressive by day, do return in the evening to see the spectacular building stunningly illuminated and to see the views of the Pink City at night with twinkling lights breaking the darkness of the inky skies.

Hello disgruntled reader

Rest assured that I have spent far too much time in Jaipur on business (about 8 weeks in total) over the last 5 year period – but my visits to the city were ruined by Jaipur itself rather than by “misleading blogs”. .

Anyway I fully vouch for this post and 100% testify that it it a fair representation of the best things to do in Jaipur for the ‘average visitor’.

  • 10 Best Tourist Places To Visit In Jaipur

10 Best Tourist Places to Visit in Jaipur

The vast sea of golden sand sleeping peacefully under the azure skies - no place can quite compete with the grandeur of Jaipur. Recognised as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Jaipur is a rare mix of royalty and modesty. The streets of this city are bustling with culture and heritage. At every avenue, you will meet the bygone era standing tall in all its glory.

Anything but your regular tourist destination with mere tourist places to visit; Jaipur is a relic and rare opportunity for you to meet the illustrious past of India. Fondly known as the Pink City, Jaipur witnesses its fair share of vibrant fairs and festivals, colourful garbs, and lively markets, Jaipur has a rainbow of its own flowing its street. And let’s not forget the majestic forts and fortress to the royal palaces, from colourful bandhani to delectable Dal Baati Churma .

Let’s get you going with some of the best places to visit in Jaipur: -

1. Hawa Mahal

Built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, Hawa Mahal is one of the most beautiful and famous places in Jaipur. Made of red and pink sandstone, this five-storey piece of art has 953 small windows known as  Jharokhas  with intricate latticework. Situated amidst the busy J.D.A Market, Hawa Mahal is a stunning sight from the outside and a real treasure behind those Jharokhas. The palace complex is a fine fusion of Hindu and Persian architecture which makes it one of the best places to visit in Jaipur.

2. Johari Bazaar

India’s craftsmanship eternizes its heritage. With highly skilled gem-cutters working on emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, you can expect to find some of the finest jewellery pieces bearing the intricate Kundan-Meena work in Johari Bazaar. It is one of the top places to visit in Jaipur for the shopaholics as well as those looking for souvenirs.

Kundan-Meena work dates to the Mughal era which makes it the centre of interest for many when in Johari Bazaar while also burgeoning its repute as one of the best places to visit in Jaipur. After you are done with your shopping spree, you can make a stop at any of the cafés here. Johari Bazaar area has some of the best cafés in Jaipur .

3. City Palace

When you wish to witness some real opulence and affluence, City Palace is one of the best places to visit in Jaipur. Counted amongst Jaipur’s famous places, City Palace is not just another tourist attraction. Jaipur was India’s first planned city, including City Palace. Bearing a blend of Mughal, European, and Rajputana architecture, City Palace is divided into six blocks separated by broad avenues, including the Chandra Mahal, the Shri Govind Dev Ji Temple, the Mukut Mahal, the Mubarak Mahal, the Maharani’s Palace, and the City Palace Museum. From entrance gates to the pavilions, City Palace is all about the royal Rajputana history.

4. Jal Mahal

Right out of a fairy tale, this mysterious palace floating on water is one of the prominent tourist attractions in Jaipur. As the name suggests, this Mahal on Jal is situated right in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. Floating on the majestic blue lake, this fine example of Rajputana architecture actually has four submerged levels under the water's surface. This beautiful structure becomes even more stunning a place to visit in Jaipur at night.

5. Sheesh Mahal

Mirror, mirror, on the wall! Built with marble and red sandstone, Sheesh Mahal is also known as the Palace of Mirrors. With thousands of tiny mirrors set on its walls, Sheesh Mahal is a must-visit place in Jaipur. What makes this place such an attraction?! Well, a single ray of sun lights up the entire palace; try imagining something as magical. This enchanting phenomenon makes Sheesh Mahal one of  Jaipur’s best places to witness. Another reason why people flock Sheesh Mahal is the fact that the iconic song “ Jab Pyar Kiya to Darna kya ” from the movie “ Mughal-e-Azam ” was shot in the palace. A place with such backstory must not be missed!

6. Panna Meena Ka Kund

There are many tourist places in Jaipur and Panna Meena Ka Kund is one of them. While you will find many stepwells in the state of Rajasthan, Panna Meena Ka Kund is one of the most popular places to see in Jaipur. Stepwells are called Baoli or Baori in the local language. Appearing as a regular background in the photos on social media, Panna Meena Ka Kund can be the perfect backdrop for your Instagram feed on your next Jaipur tour. From central Jaipur, you can drive to Panna Meena Ka Kund or take a cab. The best part, the guides there click the best candid photos.

7. Patrika Gate

If you have booked a Jaipur tour package , make sure that Patrika Gate is in your itinerary. With a medley of colours and a grand display of artistic excellence, Patrika Gate is among the best tourist places in Jaipur. The walls of Patrika Gate are all embellished with the hand-paintings of forts, palaces, temples, rulers of Jaipur, wedding, wars, and everything that will give you a glimpse of Jaipur’s vast history. The vibrant colours and fine work done by the artisans make Patrika Gate one of the most prominent tourist places in Jaipur. You will surely understand the adage ‘Rangilo Rajasthan’ once you step foot in here.

8. Chandpole Bazar

Retail therapy is never going out of fashion and Chandpole Bazar is here to prove it. Starting from Choti Chapuad to Chandpole Gate, Chandpole Bazar is one of the top places to visit in Jaipur and a shopper’s haven. From marble handicraft to Lac and metal bangles, you will find everything authentically Rajasthani here. If you are fond of Rajasthani ethnics, you can find the best quality of bandhnis, tie-dyes, and lehriyas . A famous tourist place in Jaipur, Chandpole Bazar also has some of the best street food places. If you are in for some real Indian taste, go to Khuteta Namkeen Bhandar and order their iconic Aloo ki Kachori; it is lip-smacking delicious!

9. Central Park

No vacation is complete without a family picnic and Central Park is the perfect place for it. Locals come here to jog and run while you can witness people sitting and having small picnics. Amongst all the famous places to visit in Jaipur, Central Park is for people looking to have some quiet and fun time with their family. This lush green park was developed by the Jaipur Development Authority. With a musical fountain, Stonehenge-like stone statues, and a temple, Central Park is well worth a visit.

10. Nahargarh Fort

Standing with pride on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh Fort is one of the best places to visit when in Jaipur. 4 kilometres drive from Jaipur, Nahargarh Fort is not your usual tourist place. When you wish for some quiet and a good view… no, the grandest view of Jaipur, head to Nahargarh Fort. Nothing can be more fulfilling than sitting in solitude while watching over Jaipur washed in the orangish hue of sunset.

The sound of Rajasthani folk music, colourful skirts twirling high, sweetness in the speech, colours in the air and revelry in the hearts of the local folks - Jaipur has an idyllic charm to it. Whether you are on a short weekend trip to Jaipur or a long holiday, explore it to the fullest; you’ll be amazed at how magnificent it is.

Places and people are two things that interest me the most. While places have taken care of themselves, here’s my podcast, which I consider to be a great platform, through which I can share some interesting stories I live and love on a daily basis with all you wonderful people out there.

Super Tuesday 2024: Which states are voting, the key rules to know and what's at stake

Voters cast their ballots in Richmond, Va.

Tuesday is the most consequential day in the race for both parties' presidential nominations — a day political junkies have come to call "Super Tuesday."

Sixteen states and one U.S. territory are holding presidential nominating contests Tuesday in some form. For both Republicans and Democrats, they will award more than one-third of the total delegates available throughout the entire nominating contest, all on one day.

Follow live updates on Super Tuesday 2024

Here's a guide to what to expect as voters cast their ballots across the country:

When are the polls open? 

The first polls of the day open in Vermont at 6 a.m. ET, and the final polls close in Alaska at midnight ET. In between, here are the other most important times to know:

  • 7 p.m. ET : Polls close in the Virginia and Vermont primaries.
  • 7:30 p.m. ET : Polls close in North Carolina.
  • 8 p.m. ET : Polls close in Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee and most of Texas.
  • 8:30 p.m. ET : Polls close in Arkansas.
  • 9 p.m. ET : Polls close in Colorado, Minnesota and the rest of Texas.
  • 11 p.m. ET : Polls close in California and in Utah's Republican caucuses.

Who can vote? 

That depends on the state. A variety of rules govern nominating contests in certain states — here's a look at three of the most common:

  • Open : Voters may choose which primary to vote in regardless of their registration (in many cases, these states also don't ask voters to register by party). Among the Republican contests Tuesday, Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Texas, Virginia and Vermont are holding open primaries.
  • Partially open : These contests are typically restricted to members of the party, as well as unaffiliated voters. In some cases, voters are considered to be registered with a party if they cast their ballots in that primary, at least for the rest of the election cycle. The Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Tennessee primaries are partially open.
  • Closed : Voters must be registered with a party to vote in its primary or caucus. The contests in Alaska, California, Oklahoma and Utah fall into this category on the GOP side.

What’s at stake on the Republican side? 

For all the attention paid to the first nominating contests, those early states awarded just 11% of the total delegates in the GOP presidential nominating contest. 

There are 865 Republican delegates at stake in the Super Tuesday GOP nominating contests. That’s about 36% of all the delegates in the entire race.

Once all of the delegates from Super Tuesday and the previous contests are allocated, more than 47% of the delegates will have been awarded. And after the four contests March 12, more than 50% of the delegates will have been awarded. 

Are the contests winner-take-all or proportional? 

While the Republican National Committee's rules don't allow most states to hold true winner-take-all contests before March 15, many Super Tuesday states will turn into de facto winner-take-all states because of the one-on-one nature of the race. 

Five states will award every single delegate they have to a majority vote-winner: California, Maine, Massachusetts, Utah and Vermont. Tennessee awards all its delegates to one candidate if he or she wins two-thirds of the vote. Minnesota awards all its delegates to one candidate if he or she wins 80% of the vote. 

Five other states — Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia — award all their statewide delegates (at-large delegates) to a candidate who wins a majority of the vote, and then they dole out congressional district delegates separately. A candidate who wins the majority of a district wins all three congressional district delegates. 

In all of these states, delegates are awarded proportionally if no candidate wins a majority. 

And in others, all the available delegates are awarded proportionally.

What's the GOP’s 'magic number'? 

The GOP nominee will be the candidate who clinches the majority of the party’s delegates to the national convention, or 1,215 of the 2,429 delegates. 

What do I need to know about the Democratic side? 

There’s not much you need to know about the Democratic contests because President Joe Biden is the far-and-away favorite in every one.

Unlike the Republican side, Democrats always award delegates in each state proportionally to candidates who hit a 15% threshold. So it's possible that one of Biden's opponents wins some delegates to the convention based on the results (or, like what happened in Michigan, "uncommitted" wins delegates).

Are Democratic superdelegates still a thing? 

Yes, but their power has been greatly diminished since 2016.

Only “pledged delegates,” those won by virtue of the results in nominating contests, can vote for the nominee on the first ballot (those delegates have pledged to cast their ballots for the candidates to which they were allocated, and those candidates’ campaigns play a big role in selecting those pledged delegates). 

They can still endorse whatever candidate they please. But the only ways superdelegates are given votes for the nominee at the convention are if: 

  • A presidential candidate has clinched the required number of pledged delegates and there’s no doubt about the outcome. That way, superdelegates can technically cast their votes for the party’s presumptive nominee without putting their thumbs on the scale. 
  • No candidate has clinched the required number of pledged delegates and the race moves to subsequent ballots in a contested convention. The superdelegates can’t vote on the first ballot, but they become free to cast votes on the subsequent ballots.
