Badshahi Mosque

Reviewed By Nancy D - Los Angeles, California

The Mosque is stunning with a few remaining frescoes. Unfortunately people vandal this extraordinary place with scratching walls and a bit of graffiti. The Pakistani government has worked hard to bring the place to full glory. While there, several wedding contract signing ceremonies were happening. The men and women looked amazing in their finest. So many people wanted to take photos with us and also to have photos with us that we could take for our memories. There is a lot of wide open sunny space. Drink water. Wear a hat. Consider an umbrella. You’ll need it.

Masjid Wazir Khan (Wazir Khan Mosque)

Reviewed By Guide_to_Great_Meals - Doha

When in Lahore it is essential to visit the Wazir Khan Mosque, a 17th century mosque located in the inner city. The mosque dates from the period of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (and was constructed from 1634-1641), and is richly decorated with magnificent tiles and wall paintings . It would be a good idea to combine your visit to the mosque with a trip to the nearby Shahi Hammam baths - which have recently been renovated. Be sure to take bottled water. If you a wee bit adventurous, you can also enjoy a meal in the inner city. If the timing is right try Cuckoo's Den which has a royal view....and more expensive than ordinary local restaurants.

Lahore Fort (Shahi Qila)

Reviewed By Nancy D - Los Angeles, California

This place is enormous and were lucky to get in early since there was a private VIP event. The stories of this huge fort are wonderful to hear. This is an UNESCO project and slowly being restored. Unfortunately it has deteriorated quite a bit. Bri g in water, hat and an umbrella if you can. The sun and heat can be a big problem.

Walled City of Lahore Authority

Walled City of Lahore, a heritage city almost 4000 years old. Having International Heritage Sites and other Landmarks of Mughal, Sikh and British Era

Reviewed By Nancy D - Los Angeles, California

Of course you’ll find mosques and other museum locations within the walled city. But you will also see lots of shops and winding roads and people living life today. I loved looking up and seeing old wooden balconies which are part of houses. So definitely look up. I’m told a lot of money has been spent to clean up the streets making them easier to walk and navigate. I love feeling the energy of this very active area.

Lahore Guided tours

Reviewed By PrinceIhoho - London, United Kingdom

Shahid is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and funny. He not only provided a good historical, regional and cultural overview of the main sights and of Lahore itself, but was also willing to engage in more in-depth discussion on certain subjects if you were particularly interested. He showed me some of the more unusual aspects that I didn't read about - like the voice-throwing tricks in Badshahi Mosque - which can only come from someone born and raised in Lahore. He came recommended from the British High Commission and the British Council for good reason - and I have certainly recommended him on.
