With 3 days in Jaipur, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the iconic forts and palaces, Jaipur's magic lies in its craft traditions. This is a city where you can watch master block printers create intricate textile patterns passed down for generations, see gem-cutters shape raw stones into dazzling jewels in the back alleys of the old city, and hear the rhythmic hammering of Thatheras (metal craftsmen) creating copper utensils, a craft recognized by UNESCO.

Travel Tips

  • 3The local currency is Indian Rupee (₹). Carry some cash for small vendors and markets.
  • 4A few words in Hindi go a long way with locals. Even "please" and "thank you" will earn smiles.
  • 5Download offline maps and translation apps before your trip. WiFi can be spotty in historic areas.
