The largest palace complex in Rajasthan, Udaipur's City Palace stretches 244 meters along the eastern shore of Lake Pichola, rising 30 meters above the waterline. Built over 400 years by successive Maharanas of Mewar, it's a fusion of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture with 11 smaller palaces within its walls. The interiors dazzle — rooms covered entirely in mirror work, colored glass mosaics, miniature paintings, and Chinese and Dutch tiles. From its balconies, the views across Lake Pichola to the Lake Palace and the Aravalli Hills are among India's most iconic.

What makes this place special

Walls and ceilings entirely covered in mirror and colored glass mosaic work that creates a kaleidoscopic effect — among the finest mirror work in India.
