Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is renowned for its distinctive pink architecture, earning it the moniker 'Pink City.'

As a key node in the Western Golden Triangle circuit alongside Delhi and Agra, Jaipur serves as an ideal gateway to explore Rajasthan's culture. Home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, and Jantar Mantar, the city offers frequent-flyer travelers a seamless blend of heritage and convenience.

Getting there & around
From the airport
Jaipur International Airport (JAI) in Sanganer is the main airport, about 10-13 km south of central areas such as MI Road/C-Scheme. The easiest first-arrival option is a prepaid taxi or app cab from the terminal; allow about 25-45 minutes, longer in Old City traffic. Airport buses run from Terminal 2 toward Jaipur ISBT with city stops; allow roughly 45-75 minutes. There is no direct airport metro or rail link; use taxis for the last mile.

Around the city
Jaipur Metro has one operating Pink Line from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar, useful for Civil Lines, Railway Station, Sindhi Camp, Chandpole and the Old City edge, but it does not cover the airport or Amer. For visitors taking several metro rides, ask at stations for the Jaipur Metro tourist card, available for 1 or 3 days; otherwise use tokens/smart cards. Use app cabs, autos or e-rickshaws for forts, hotels and last-mile trips, and agree the fare before unmetered rides.

Before choosing where to stay
Where to Base
The Old City is the heart of the experience, offering walkable access to the Pink City architecture, Hawa Mahal, and vibrant markets. For travelers prioritizing modern amenities and spacious rooms, the newer districts offer contemporary hotel infrastructure while remaining close to major attractions.
Getting Around
Located approximately 268 km from New Delhi, Jaipur is well-connected by road and rail. The compact nature of the Old City makes it highly walkable for visiting key sites like Jantar Mantar. As a gateway to other Rajasthan destinations such as Jodhpur and Udaipur, the city offers excellent transport links for multi-stop itineraries.
Best Season
Given its location in northwestern India, the winter months from October to March offer the most pleasant weather for exploring outdoor heritage sites like Amer Fort and bustling bazaars. Summer months can be quite hot, so travelers may prefer indoor activities or rest during peak heat hours.
