The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate constantly

Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person; vendors are frequent but bring a refillable bottle to avoid delays.

Dress for sites

Wear long trousers and keep shoulders covered for mosque visits; women should avoid shorts as advised locally.

Expect busy traffic

Motorbike transport helps avoid congestion, but be prepared for quick lane changes and frequent stops in market areas.

Carry small cash

Many food stalls and bazaars prefer cash; keep small notes for tips and purchases.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Haveli of Nau Nihal Singh — a lesser-visited ornate mansion with preserved fresco work
  • Back lanes of Anarkali Bazaar — small shops where traditional artisans repair textiles and metalware

Wildlife

  • Peacocks roaming Shalimar Gardens
  • Common myna and parakeets in urban trees

Conservation Note

The Walled City faces pressure from development and tourist footfall—travelers should minimize litter, avoid single-use plastics, and support certified local conservation or heritage projects.

Lahore’s center grew under the Mughals and later saw colonial expansion; Minar-e-Pakistan in Iqbal Park marks the spot where Pakistan’s independence was declared.
