Ram Niwas Bagh was built in 1868 CE by Sawai Raja Pratap Singh and also houses the famous Albert Hall Museum. One of the most expensive gardens of its time, Ram Niwas Bagh had started off as a drought relief project for the people of Jaipur. A decade later, the foundation of the Museum Hall was laid in its compound. Today, this garden is a favorite hang-out for locals as well as tourists. Although open through mornings, this place is usually crowded during evenings as people come to appreciate the spectacular facade of the brilliantly lit Albert Hall. If you are looking for a peaceful time, this is not the place for you; with the city traffic on one side and the tourists loitering around the other, Ram Niwas hardly qualifies as a quiet place to relax. However, the lively atmosphere is quite enjoyable if you give it a chance.

One of the many gardens of Jaipur, Central Park would have been like any other green stretch of land, if not for its unique bamboo shoot nursery and the piece of art housed within the park. Conceived by the renowned French sculptor Christian Lapie, this circle of rocks at Central Park is entitled "In The Path Of The Sun And The Moon: Universal Being" and with all its lighting effects, is spectacular to look at. This one of a kind sculpture is a pleasant deviation from the regular ethnic tourist attractions of the city. One of the best known hang-outs of Jaipur, Central Park is an oasis in the middle of a desert land.

Maharaja Sawai Singhji fulfilled his beloved wife's desire to have a separate palace, by building this lush dreamscape of sorts in 1710.

He ruled the kingdom after the consecutive deaths of Maharaja Sawai Singhji and his elder step-brother Sawai Ishwar Singh. Currently Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh is open to everyone and allows visitors a chance to travel back in time while soaking in some splendid views. Named after the Maharani, this impeccably maintained palace, located amidst tranquil surroundings is perfect to spend time in solace. In the evenings, the Bagh is a sight to behold as the playful children of Jaipur splash in fountains interspersed with colors and lighting.
