Things To Do
Badshahi Masjid
This beautiful Mosque was built by Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb in 1672 and was the largest mosque in the world up until 1986. Symmetry, frescos and domes are characteristic of Mughal architecture. Ladies, do keep a piece of head covering with you to enter the mosque. Also, visit the Wazir Khan Mosque. It has the most mesmerizing and intricate mosaic work you'll see.
Lahore Fort
The first historical reference to a fort at this site dates back to the 11th century. The fort that exists today was built during the Mughal era. The fort has multiple underground levels and some say there is even a tunnel that connects to Dehli. Guided tours of the fort are a must. The Walled City of Lahore also organizes a bunch of really nice tours that you might be interested in.
Shalimar Bagh
Emperor Shah Jehan (Yes, the one who had the Taj Mahal built) ordered for these gardens to be built in 1641. The gardens were designed as the gardens of heaven. Rumor has it that one of the Emperor's wive's had a dream about this garden and he had it made. What a guy!
Alhamra Art Center
Exhibitions, music performances, stage plays - this is the place to be if you want to sit back and experience the culture of Lahore. Keep a look out for performances that may interest you!
Anarkali Bazaar
Narrow streets, crammed shops with loads of local handicrafts, traditional shoes, and anything and everything you can think of. Go with the flow and soak it all in. Suggestion: process what happens to you there later! Trivia: This Bazaar is named after a courtesan from Emperor Akbar's court. Legend has it that Akbar's son, Jehangir, fell in love with the courtesan and Daddy dear decided to deal with the matter. Act 2: Anarkali was executed by immurement.
Wagah Border
Lahore is rather close to India. Wagah border, borders with India. Every evening, there is a rather unique change of guards parade. And yes, this a peaceful border!
Waris Nihari
One of the best places for Nihari in Lahore. This delicious beef stew cooks for hours on end and will likely be the most delectable thing you'll ever have. https://www.pakistantravelblog.com/7-places-to-eat-the-best-nihari-in-lahore/
