One of the most beautiful palace I have ever visited. It's very magnificent and well maintained. The museum has lot of information. The weapons used during those days, the paintings, dress and culture all are very well preserved. It's a must visit place. There are authorised guides at the entrance please hire one for 500 to get the detailed information about the palace. Do not exit from the exit gate which you will need to pay 50 more and have to take a boat ride which is way expensive instead exit from the entry gate where there are lot of shopping options. There are is also authentic Rajasthani Thali available inside the palace which is good and reasonable.

We visited the City Palace museum while in Udaipur and it was fabulous. The historic palace facing Lake Pichola and the city on the other is the largest palace is Rajasthan and was home to many rulers. Walking through the palace tour, you get to witness the grand architecture and the luxury the palace had offered to many maharajas who lived here. It is a definite must see if you're in the area. The tour takes a few hours and tickets cost INR450 and is open till late. Highly recommended!

This is a must see while visiting Udaipur. The palace is really nice to see on the inside. There are plenty of rooms which you can visit and also a museum of artifacts. It takes approximately 1.5 hours to visit this place in full. I would highly recommend you arrive for opening time at 9:00 am as it gets busy very quickly. The entrance fee is 400 Rupees per person which gives access to the palace rooms, museum and courtyards. You should not be charged separately to see the Crystal Rooms as some online articles report separate fees for this. That is a total scam. The fee for entry allows access to all areas of the palace inside. The only small print the website does not tell you is when you exit the palace on the lake side you must pay 50 Rupees to exit and another 800 Rupees to get the boat on lake side. I would not recommend you exit the palace on the lake side as it costs much more and the lake itself is not that great to see. I would advise you enter the palace from two gates but do not exit on lake side. There are toilet facilities on the grounds and minimal shops to buy drinks. Overall the palace is worth it to see for the entry price but again arrive early to get the best photographs and videos. The tickets can be purchased at the counter but they only accept cash at the counter and not cards.
