City Palace Udaipur
City Palace Udaipur is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan, built up over nearly 400 years by successive Mewar rulers starting in the 16th century, resulting in a sprawling complex of courtyards, balconies, towers, and domes overlooking Lake Pichola. It remains partly a residence of the Mewar royal family, with other sections functioning as a museum displaying royal artifacts, paintings, and armor.
Given the palace's scale and centuries of accumulated construction, it offers considerable architectural variety within one complex, and its lakeside setting, with views over Lake Palace and Jag Mandir on the water, makes it one of the most scenic palace visits in India. It's often paired with a boat ride on Lake Pichola on the same day.
