Lahore was once a remarkable city, says Ameerhamza, but even now it has an appeal that is impossible to define.
Recent tips about Lahore

Anyone who goes to Lahore should not miss a visit to Shalimar Gardens with its verandas and water pools or Emperor Jahangir's Mausoleum - to not do so would be like visiting Rome without seeing the Colosseum!

Badsahi mosque

Posted by Ameerhamza 29 October 2005

It is the largest mosque in Lahore and one of the largest in the world. In fact, there are reports that it has the largest courtyard in the world. It was built by Aurangzeb, the last Great Mughul Emperor of India in a record time of 2 and half years.

I recommend it because without a visit to this mosque your trip to Lahore shall remain incomplete.

Badshahi mosque is in old Lahore area, adjacent to Fort of Lahore.

Dumpukht

Posted by outsider 8 December 2005

Splendid restaurant at the Pearl Continental, Lahore's top hotel. An opportunity to enjoy excellent food in pleasant, quiet surroundings, and although expensive by local standards, very reasonably priced. If you arrive before 8.30pm you get a 20% discount.

Food Street

Posted by outsider 8 December 2005

Food Street is a road closed to traffic each evening and instead filled with tables and chairs for the dozens of cafes offering their wares.

In particular, towards the end of the street, try Haji Sardar Fish Shop for some succulent fried, battered fish. So good, and so cheap!

Food Street - also known as Gowal Mandi - in the city centre
