City Palace

Recommendation by Lemi

On the banks of Lake Pichola, the majestic City Palace rises like a crowning jewel to Udaipur. The massive complex was built over almost 400 years, fusing a variety of architectural styles. Some details even give a glimpse into what life was like—the outer gates were tall enough to let elephants pass, while giant cages tell of tigers and panthers in the palace. Get lost in the endless maze of rooms comprised of a museum and a hotel. Bask in the colorful light tinted by stained window tiles and glimmering mosaic walls. Glance outside to witness different angles of the city; on one side is the stunning Lake Pichola and far-off mountains, on another is the brimming skyline.
