Home away from home

Lahore is the cultural capital of Pakistan. While Karachi is the largest city in the nation, it is relatively young. Lahore on the other hand is a city that has seen a lot of history, and this is reflected in the city.

The city is home to modern shopping areas, Mughal gardens, an old city flooded with history and some interesting people.

A trip to Pakistan is not complete without a visit to Lahore. It contains the very essence of the nation.

Pros and Cons

Pros:a lot to do, great food
Cons:typical problems for a rapidly growing city
In a nutshell:The Cultural capital of Pakistan, home to millenia of history

Last visit to Lahore: Jun 2001

I too like Moghul architecture. I also wonder what the great Moghul cities would have been like in their heyday.
