Walk the Old City, where the palace, Jagdish Temple and ghats are minutes apart. For the rest of the city, take autos (most rides ₹80–250, agree the fare first) or app cabs. Rent a scooter only if you have a valid licence and wear a helmet, and hire a car with driver for Sajjangarh or day trips.
Key facts
- Old City sights are within a 15-minute walk of each other
- Typical auto ride in the city: ₹80–250

Walk the Old City
The City Palace, Jagdish Temple, Gangaur Ghat, Bagore Ki Haveli, Lal Ghat and Ambrai Ghat (via the Daiji bridge) are all within about 15 minutes on foot. The lanes are narrow and one-way, so walking is faster than driving. See our heritage walk.
