What people say, in short
City Palace is a royal complex in Jaipur's old city that many commenters list among the city's must-see sights, often paired with nearby Jantar Mantar. One visitor who spent hours there loved the art, history and architecture, while another found it skippable if you're not into museums, and a couple of commenters say the pricier tickets are needed to see the best parts. A couple of visitors also found sections closed during their trips, so check ahead before going. One commenter suggests a weekday morning visit for fewer crowds.
