Chokhi Dhani
Located 15km from Jaipur, this virtual village provides a fantastical, magical evening. It’s pretend ethnicity, but don’t let that put you off. Stroll through gardens lit by glimmering lamps and dine on traditional Rajasthani thalis. Then take in some offbeat entertainment: traditional tribal dancers setting fire to their hats, small children balancing on poles, and dancers dressed in lion costumes. It’s hugely popular with Delhi-based families.

Raj Mandir Cinema
The number-one Hindi cinema in India, Raj Mandir is an icon of Jaipur. Opened in 1976, this creamy meringue construction looks good enough to eat. It’s usually full, despite its immense size, but bookings can be made one hour to seven days in advance at Windows 7 and 8. Alternatively, sharpen your elbows and join the queue when the current booking office opens 45 minutes before the curtain goes up.

Pichola Bar
There are plenty of places for a relaxing drink with views over the lazy waters of Lake Pichola, but for a real treat try the top-end hotels. The Pichola Bar is in a former palace in the middle of the lake.

This hit-and-miss nightclub, in the Country Inn basement, is an ideal place to witness Jaipur's new upward mobility in mid-swing. It has the requisite 'couples-only' dance floor, and an impressive range of cocktails.

Reds
Overlooking the Raj Mandir cinema and MI Rd with views to Tiger Fort, Reds is a slick place to kick back with a drink or take a meal. Settle down into a couch with a beer (bottled or draught), cocktail or mocktail.

Shri Mishrilal Hotel
At the clock tower, this place is nothing fancy, but whips up the most superb creamy makhania lassis. These are the best in town, probably in all of Rajasthan, possibly in all of India.
