Jaipur's Sanganer airport, 15km south of the centre, is served by domestic Indian Airlines and Jet Airways flights from Delhi and Mumbai. An airport bus into town costs Rs30; taxis charge more like Rs250.

The railway station is 1km west of the Pink City, very close to the main concentration of hotels, while state buses from all over Rajasthan and further a field pull in at the more central Inter-state Bus Terminal on Station Road.

Arriving from Delhi, you skirt the south side of the city, stopping briefly at an intersection called Narayan Circle, where rickshaw-wallahs frequently board the bus saying it's the end of the line ("bus going to yard"); it isn't, only a ploy to get you on to their rickshaws and into a hotel that pays generous commission. Rackets like this thrive in Jaipur, so brace yourself for a barrage of auto-rickshaw drivers wherever you arrive.
