About Lahore tours

Lahore is the cultural heart of Pakistan and the historic capital of Punjab, a city where centuries of Mughal, Sikh and colonial history sit alongside one of the country's liveliest food and arts scenes. Its monumental core is the work of the Mughals, above all the vast Badshahi Mosque and the adjoining Lahore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose Sheesh Mahal and Alamgiri Gate are among the finest Mughal architecture anywhere. Around them spread the gated lanes of the Walled City, the exquisite tilework of the Wazir Khan Mosque and the bustling bazaars of the old town. Beyond the historic centre lie the Shalimar Gardens, the Lahore Museum's renowned collection, and the colonial boulevards of the Mall. Lahore is also famous for its food, from the legendary Fort Road and Gawalmandi food streets to its sweets and barbecue, and for the daily flag-lowering ceremony at the nearby Wagah border. The city suits culture and food lovers, and is comfortably explored over two to three days, best avoided in the harsh heat of high summer.
