Lahore is one of Pakistan’s most historic cities, famous for its Mughal architecture, lively streets and food. If it is your first visit, a little planning helps you see the best of it without feeling rushed.
Badshahi Mosque
Built in the early 1670s under Emperor Aurangzeb, the Badshahi Mosque is one of the best-known landmarks in the city. Its red sandstone domes and vast courtyard are especially striking in the late afternoon light.
Lahore Fort
Right beside the mosque, Lahore Fort is a sprawling complex of palaces, halls and gardens that reflects centuries of history. Allow a couple of unhurried hours to explore it.
The Walled City
Wander through the narrow lanes of the Walled City to see Mughal-era gateways and the beautifully tiled Wazir Khan Mosque, and to experience the everyday life of old Lahore.
Practical tips
- Visit in the cooler months or early morning to avoid the heat
- Dress modestly when visiting religious sites
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you will do a lot of walking
- Keep your plans flexible and leave room for good food along the way
Where to base yourself
Staying in a comfortable, well-located apartment makes it easy to head out for the day and return to a quiet place to rest. It is the simplest way to turn a busy sightseeing schedule into a relaxed trip.
