Lahore is one of the most amazing cities I have ever travelled to, known to be the cultural centre of Pakistan, the city is infused with some of the most highly regarded cuisines, historical and archaeological sites as well as being a significant cosmopolitan city.Today the city is continuing to grow, ever pushing itself to be a front runner in this cultural, financial and political world.

Lets start with the old, after all old is gold. The older city of Lahore, locally known as Androon Sher (Inner city), is the place to visit if you really want to experience Punjabi culture. The streets around the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque still retain their prestige and cultural atmosphere ever since the fall of the Mughals. You will always find a guide, who will be willing to take you round the sites and talk about the historical significance of the Fort and its surrounding areas... you will be surprised as to how much they know! The Fort is located exactly opposite the Badshahi Mosque and the Minar-e-Pakistan. There is also a gurdwara between the two sites which holds significance importance to Sikh Emperor Ranjit Singh.

Lahore is a beautiful city.

It is only dangerous if you act like a proper tourist - then you going to attract attention. I see many people visit the city, organised tours are better than solo travel.
