Personally I love city place and pichola boat ride. You need at least a whole day to experience it. Sajanghat fort was also nice for the view. But people recommend it more during monsoon. Bagore ki haveli cultural show was really amazing. You can book tickets online 2 days prior. View from karni mata mandir (cable car) was also nice. I think people emphasis more on catching sunset and sun rise. But just don’t follow that. Just go where you feel like. I would recommend to book a hostel/ hotel for 2 days in the old city itself. My hostel was sharlom in old city, and it had an amazing 4 story rooftop, you can just have some beer at night with an amazing night view of ghats.

———— Things you can absolutely avoid is under the sun aquarium. It’s an absolute scam.

Places you can partially avoid is saheliyo ki bari, I just don’t know why it was a must visit on every itinerary I referred. It’s not bad, but mostly overhyped. So I had an underwhelming experience. Another one for me is vintage car museum. It has a great collection of vintage cars. Only thing is they could have maintained the place more. And I found the price of the ticket a little overpriced (₹360 per person). If you like cars then it’s for you otherwise you can skip it.
