Lahore is Pakistan’s cultural hub, with a mixture of mouth-watering food, architectural delights and musical treats. Situated in southern Pakistan on the river Indus, Lahore is the centre of the Punjab region and is home to almost 10 million people. The city has retained an unimpaired and beautiful Old City, despite of its vast population - it fully deserves the historical identity as the “city of gardens.”

History has left a legacy of varied and gorgeous architecture, with treasures from the British Raj and Mughal Empire to explore. This comprises of palaces and fortresses, mosques, walls, gardens and even one of the world’s oldest zoos. Stroll around in bustling markets, sample Punjabi cuisine, listen to Sufis sing devotional music and their wild drumming sessions or head to the city’s Gaddafi Stadium to watch some cricket, the national obsession of Pakistan. Pay a visit at the stunning fortress that was created in 1566 or see the enormous Badshahi Mosque – one of the masterpieces of the Mughal era. Shopping freaks will surely adore time spent exploring the happening Langay Bazaar as there is no better place than this to sample Punjabi tasty delicacies like spicy porridge, fried fish or chicken tikka than on Gawalmandi Food Street.
