City palace or the lakes

It closes at 5:30pm. I would suggest to visit palace in the morning because there is so much to see, it might take an entire afternoon. When you reach at 2:30 you can explore nearby market or lakes near your accommodation. Or visit lake Pichola for a great sunset. There are sunset boat cruise available there but even sitting on the bank of lake also is an experience.

The palace with a guide takes about 2.5 hrs max depending on the guide (ours was in a real hurry). You could definitely attend the 7 p.m. cultural show at Gangaur Haveli (I think that's what it is called), really worth it. Get there early to buy tickets and get good seats. Many people do the boat ride (we didn't due to the rains). And for dinner, I highly recommend the restaurant in Jagat Niwas. Hope this helps.
