Tourist Guide Lahore:

Lahore, or the ‘City of Gardens’, is the capital of the province of Punjab, Pakistan. It is Pakistan’s second largest city, housing about 10 million inhabitants. Lahore is the most visited city in the country for its lush gardens and parks, Mughal architecture and energetic markets.

Lahore is typified by an extreme climate. Summers can be scorching hot whereas winters are rather chilling. May to July is the hottest period while winters extend from December to February. Heavy rainfall is experienced throughout the city.

Lahore was glorious even during the Mughal era with some of the finest constructions and gardens still prevalent. In present times, Lahore is one of the most economically active cities in Pakistan. Lahore Stock Exchange is Pakistan’s second largest stock exchange.

Very cultural, historical city, great to visit the old city and get lost in the twisting alleyways!!!, lots of cheap eating places around, great shopping in Anarkali, Ichra , Liberty, Fortress stadium bring an empty suitcase!or end up paying excess baggage charges! you need it to load up with your shopping/souvenirs. Good parks around - Race course park, Lawrence gardens, zoo is a good place to visit. Lots of rickshaws around bargain hard!not so comfortable on the back if lots of pot holes in the road! traffic is chaos! if your driving a car then look out for road users driving without lights ... More at night that applies to cars, motorbikes, rickshaws, and pedal cycles don't even have lights!! in fact if your from abroad and on holiday don't even try driving in Lahore - you will need some serious stress therapy! every were you will hear people honking you! no patience!! Talking of stress therapy cheap beauty salons around in Lahore - to enjoy a facial/mani/pedi- treat yourself if you are on holiday, we found a great spa called SAMS in Gulberg and DHA for affordable luxury spa treatments- great relaxation pool/jacuzzi in natural surroundings, enjoy a body massage, spa facial, great juice bar they have a medical spa - with anti-ageing treatments, hair loss treatments and a dental spa with economical prices check out their website www.sams.pk By the way best time to go to Lahore is March/April as after that too hot and humid and if your used to no problems with electricity back at home then be prepared for a load of load shedding - unless your staying in a place with a generator then that's not such an issue, if not then don't get to absorbed in watching TV as you will find that watching your favourite film/drama the light will go , and no TV! untill 1 hr later if you are lucky unless load shedding is for many hrs!Whilst in Lahore go and see the closing of the border ceremony at Wagah see the soldiers from both side out salute/out-shout each other! Have a great trip.

Lahore is the city from where Pakistan's every field begins and then flourish in the whole Pakistan. I visited for many times Lahore but at every time i get something new. Especially now Lahore has become a metropolitan and metro city. Lahore is blend of matchless beauty of ancient as well as modern very mod and religious, informative and thought provoking, traditional and creative, the city where saints are resting in peace, the city city where kings and queens are sleeping, where we get what we want like history, literature, science, arts,

A very famous old cultured city since Mughal Empire in Sub-content. Place of historical heritage, house of gardens and ocean of Colleges & universities. Peoples are kind,friendly and love to eat numerous kind of foods. Once you pay visit LAHORE and see the walled city Lahorian then you will remain restless until you see and meet them again and again.

Everywhere in the world people are of different types. The same thing is in Lahore. Many people need to be open minded abandoning the little thinking. On the other hand we should try to promote the local talent so that it may make our city more enjoyable. And as far as roads are concerned, they are being good frequently. Anyways I Love Lahore
