Jaipur's Old Town

The capital of Rajasthan, the city of Jaipur, after the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1867, was called the "pink city" - then the whole city was painted pink (in Rajput culture, pink is a symbol of hospitality).

The bright colors of the buildings of the old city today are complemented by no less colorful national outfits of representatives of different tribes living here. In numerous markets, they trade in bracelets and other handicraft products. A large number of markets are concentrated in the old part of the city, surrounded by a long and once strong wall with seven gates. Jewelry shops are a great place to have fun and spend your money.

In addition to the shopping shops in the city, a huge number of architectural monuments - the Ishvari Minar Minar Swarga Sull minaret and the city palace, the Jantar Mantar Observatory, the central museum - here you can hide from the bustle of the city for some time.
