I just could not get enough of this palace. I highly recommend to anyone who is visiting Udaipur for work or leisure.
The City Palace next to Lake Pichola, is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan and one of the most outstanding features is that it has uniformity in design. And this is in spite of the fact that the complex was built by not just one person. Some more fact about the place, from the internet.

City
Palace, Udaipur, is a palace
complex in Udaipur. It was built by the Maharana Udai Singh as the
capital of the Sisodia Rajput clan in 1559, after he moved from
Chittor. It is located on the east bank of the Lake Pichola and has
several palaces built within its complex. Udaipur was the historic
capital of the former kingdom of Mewar in the Rajputana Agency and
its last capital.
City Palace comprises 11 wonderful palaces, which were built by different rulers still they resemble each other. With the sheer glimpse of unique paintings, antique furniture and exquisite glass mirror & ornamental tiles work of these palaces, you will get amazed. Manak Mahal (Ruby Palace) has figures of crystal and porcelain. However, Bhim Vilas flaunts a fabulous collection of miniature paintings depicting the real life stories of Radha-Krishna.
Timings: 10am to 6pm. Last entry 4:30 pm. Open all days.
