People & Traditions: People & Traditions
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: I think it depends from Person to Person. Like, if u like old buildings and Forts. then you MUST visit the Lahore Fort (Castle) which was built by Mughal Emperors nearly 500 yrs old.

    If are interested in some Cultural activities then you must see 'National Industrial Exhibision' in Fortress Stadium. In this Exibision crafts men bring their goods from all over Punjab which is the largest and most famous province of Pakistan.

    After all this trip if u are looking for a nice resturant which is famous for its Pakistani food then you MUST go to 'Village Resturant' in the most posh areas of Lahore - Gulberg. This Resturant is famous for its pure Pakistani Environment and good quality of good. Alongwith this resturant there are otehr resturants as well and you get a variety of food depending upon your choice. I would surely add the pictures laters.


    Fondest Memory: I live in Lahore and I love this city. There is a famous saying in Pakistan in local language ' Urdu' which goes like this: 'If someone has not seen Lahore, it means he has not born yet'.

    This City is full of everything!!! Love, History, Culture, Beauty and Loving, Sincere, Energetic People. But you have to come by yourself and experience the Charisma of this old historical city. Its Red Light Area is famous from ages of Mughal Emprors. I would simply say that its amazing.

  • Favorite Thing: There are many money exchangers but there are a few areas where u will not able to find any money exchanger. Even if u find anyone it will be of no use and the rate they will be giving will not be a good one.

    Fondest Memory: I always go to this MALIK MONEY EXCHANGER in Gulberg, Center Point. They give resonably good rate. If you can bargain a bit then u should bargain here as well. They might give you better rate if u are exchange more than 100 US$ or Euros.

    Money Exchanger: Money Exchanger in Central Lahore Region
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Asma money exchanger is the good one in Central Lahore region. This money exchanger can be accessed from the Lahore Railway station in 15 mins by Ricshaw or Taxi. It is right there on the Mall Road, which is the most famous and important road of lahore. Everyone knows Mall Road.

  • Favorite Thing: Lahore was always an important city from hudreds and thousands of years. But it gained its fame especially after the mughals came here. Mughal emporers built a lot of beautiful architectures here. Shah Jehan loved Lahore and he built a beautiful fort here and also fortified the city. In the past, there use to be 12 entrances to the walled city of Lahore. These entrances were known as Derwaza. There were 12 different names for each Derwaza (Gates).

    Fondest Memory: Walking inside old Lahore is always nice, though its an unorganised messy area of Lahore but to see the old tall houses of 6 or 7 storey buildings and to see their architecture is worth visiting !

    Visiting Lahore: Map of New Lahore
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Lahore is the Second Largest city of Pakistan with lots of modern architecture blended with its traditions and culture. Through the years the city has expanded greatly towards the east. Now Lahore has around 5 million inhabitants! In modern part of the city, you'll find many cafes, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, book shops, etc. etc. You are get whatever u want from here. It takes around 1 hour in the business timings to each New part of Lahore from Old part of Lahore. but at night it takes around 30 mins by car to each old walled city from new Lahore.

    Fondest Memory: doing window shopping in Liberty Market, Pace and Fortress Stadium Market, Having an ice cream from Liberty market were some really memorable moments of Lahore.
