Ram Niwas Garden

Ram Niwas Garden is a large historic public garden in central Jaipur, built in the 19th century during the reign of Sawai Ram Singh II. The garden precinct contains Albert Hall Museum and has also housed civic and cultural facilities over time. It sits close to the old city and provides a broad green setting around one of Jaipur's best-known museum buildings.

What to know

The garden is an easy way to slow down between museums, markets and the old city. Pair it with Albert Hall for an outing that mixes architecture, collections and open space. Its central location also makes it a useful reference point when planning a walk or short taxi ride across central Jaipur.

Good to Know

The garden is a public space with facilities that can change or close for maintenance. Check current local notices if you are visiting a zoo, theatre or other facility within the wider precinct. Use marked crossings around busy roads and keep an eye on children near traffic and water features.
