Udaipur, the City of Lakes, is one of the most romantic cities in India. Palaces rise straight out of the water, narrow lanes lead to centuries-old temples and the Aravalli hills glow at sunset. Here are the best places to visit in Udaipur – and how to cover them smoothly by taxi.

2. Lake Pichola
Take a boat ride from the City Palace jetty or Lal Ghat for views of the Lake Palace and Jag Mandir. Sunset rides are the most popular.

4. Jagdish Temple
A beautiful 17th-century Vishnu temple, a short walk from City Palace.
