Amar Jawan Jyoti (Flame of the immortal soldiers)
In celebration of the phenomenal lives led by our Indian martyrs, Amar Jyoti Jawan stands proudly near the new Vidhan Sabha. It can be experienced from the comfort of your car without a simple penny out of your pocket. The place takes you through the life journey of many Indian soldiers, giving you a contemporary light and sound show. For a place with no entry charges, it is quite well maintained and clean.

Crossword bookstore
How much better would it be if boys bought girls books in a bookstore instead of drinks at a club? The crossword bookstore is no less than nirvana for our new age intellects. Take your next date there to find out their tastes, opinions and interests. Even better – go alone. Cuddle up with a book on a chair or just sit on the floor. Read as many books as you want to pamper the bookworm in you.
Location : K. K. Square, C 11, Prithvi Raj Marg, Panch Batti, C Scheme, Ashok Nagar, Jaipur.

Central Park
When you find yourself wandering amongst tall trees instead of tall buildings, you’ve reached the Central Park. Their many arrangements include an open gym for the active crowd and a free WiFi for the passive. Walking further down the path, you will find the proud National Flag standing tall in all its glory. Grab your picnic basket and get back in touch with nature as you spread out near the musical fountains and enjoy the serene landscape.

The road of the restless (Jamnalal Bajaj Marg)
The evening breathes life into the Jamnalal Bajaj Marg as dozens of youngsters find themselves here, looking for things to do. It is a hotspot for people looking to cure a boring evening. Grab a bite at the tiny cafes spread all over the street like Burger Farm, NY Slice, Sandwich Bay and many more. Shop for some clothes here and there. Tired? Pet some exotic breeds of Cats and Dogs at a pet store called Mad About Dogs. If you’re craving some disco scenes, try 100% Rock and cure the hangover afterwards with the CCD right next to it.
Location : Jamnalal Bajaj Marg, C Scheme, Jaipur.
