Lahore is often referred to as the cultural capital of Pakistan, and for good reason! A visit to Pakistan is not complete without a Lahore holiday. In ancient times, Lahore was the epicentre of the Mughal empire, and every corner of the city has some fascinating throwback to a time of Mughal rule. The Lahore Fort, Badshahi mosque and the beautiful Shalamar Gardens were constructed by the Mughals over 300 years ago. Much of old Lahore is contained within the Walled City. The Masjid Wazir Khan mosque is well worth a visit for its colourful mosaics and ornate architecture. Stop in at the Lahore Museum to learn about the incredible history of Pakistan and admire the impressive collection of artefacts. Once you’ve had your fill of history, wander around the Walled City and get amongst the locals at the Delhi Gate market.
