Getting there

Walking

If you're starting from the Lake Pichola area, head east along the waterfront. Follow the path until you reach the Jagdish Temple, a well-known landmark in Udaipur. From there, continue straight into the Old City, where you'll find narrow lanes filled with shops and restaurants. Keep an eye out for signs leading to the City Palace. It will be just a short 10-minute walk from the temple.

Rickshaw

Find a local auto-rickshaw stand near your current location. Tell the driver you want to go to City Palace, located in Old City Udaipur. The drivers are familiar with tourist spots, so you shouldn't have any issues. The ride will take about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. They will drop you off at the main entrance of the City Palace.

Bus

Look for a local bus stop that has routes towards the Old City. Buses in Udaipur are infrequent, so check the schedule ahead of time. Once on the bus, ask the conductor to let you know when you reach the City Palace. It should take around 20-30 minutes. After getting off, follow the signs to the City Palace entrance.
