Go beyond the usual in the Pink City the next time you're there with Urbanaut-approved recommendations. Yes, it is a beautiful city for all things heritage & culture but it is also a hotspot for spaces that celebrate incredible history with contemporary art & design.

The Jaipur Centre for Art

Co conceptualised & founded by Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh, known to family and friends as “Pacho”, the 25-year-old head of the Jaipur royal family, the Jaipur Centre for Art is a space where contemporary art could sit within Jaipur’s iconic, heritage-rich setting. JCA aims to foster contemporary art by mounting shows, collaborating with the local community and promoting a residency programme for artists.

Jaipur Street Foodwalk with Hungry Hitchhiker

Food in a restaurant sounds so clichéd when you can walk across town with someone who knows exactly where to taste the best in local food. The next time you’re in Jaipur, we highly recommend discovering the Pink City with Hungry Hitchhiker‘s curated food walk.



Vinayak is not just a culinary artist, but a guardian of stories and a custodian of culture. His food walks take you on a delicious journey that explores the salty, sour, spicy, sweet, hot, cold, and everything in between this place has to offer.

The Sarvato

The Sarvato is an experiential tasting menu restaurant and cocktail bar. A living museum of Rajasthan’s heritage, where the region’s culinary folklore comes to life, it pays homage to the cuisine of Rajasthan. From the heritage of the Royal Family of Jaipur to the dishes that have nourished the region’s many communities, the restaurant takes inspiration from a multitude of sources.

Amid age-old surroundings, Sarvato offers a contemporary take on Rajasthan’s food and design.

Orange Picking at The Narangah Estate

Just outside Jaipur lies a hidden oasis – an organic orange grove that invites you into a world of vibrant colour and fresh scents. With a woven basket in hand, you wander between rows, inhaling the warm, earthy aroma mingled with citrus. Each orange is grown without chemicals, a symbol of sustainable farming that respects both the land and the fruit.

Picking at Narangah Estate becomes a gentle, meditative act – the snap of ripe fruit, the soft thud into the basket, the contrast of bright oranges against the Jaipur sky. As the day ends, you leave with a basket full of oranges and a new appreciation for the beauty of mindful cultivation. You can join this experience with Narangah The Orange Grove here.

Polo Palladio

Polo Palladio located in Jaipur's Central Park is a love letter to Indian maximalism, designed by Marie-Anne Oudejans. The space oozes a royal and opulent charm with traditional Rajasthani architecture and is filled with heritage and historic memorabilia.
