What are the main attractions in Jaipur?

Jaipur's main attractions include the Amber Fort with its elephant or jeep ride to the entrance, Hawa Mahal known as the Palace of Winds, the City Palace which is still partly home to the royal family, Jantar Mantar the astronomical observatory, Nahargarh Fort for sunset views over the city, and the vibrant bazaars of Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar known as the Pink City.

Why is Jaipur called the Pink City?

Jaipur is called the Pink City because in 1876 the entire old city was painted a distinctive terracotta pink colour to welcome the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, on his visit to India. The tradition has been maintained ever since through local building regulations, and the old city walls and buildings retain this characteristic pink hue to this day.
