"Legacy of the Mughal Empire"

Lahore Tourism

One of the wealthiest cities in the country, Lahore serves as Pakistan's historical hub. It was an important part of the former Mughal empire, serving as the capital city for a century and a half, and therefore sports many regal and majestic Mughal structures spread out across the charming city. The Lahore Fort and Shalimar Gardens, remnants of the magnificence and riches of the Mughal empire, are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Lahore is a cultural hub of Pakistan, as well as the leading city for the Pakistani entertainment industry, being the headquarters of the mainstream Pakistani film industry, Lollywood. It is also a major destination for Qawwali music, traditional Sufi music based in the country. Being a historic city, there is a plethora of ancient buildings which have been preserved well, sporting classic Mughal architecture. The Lahore Fort is the star attraction of all these structures, a massive citadel that displays the splendour of the Mughal empire, constructed in the 17th century. The fort, along with much of the city's royal history can be found in the Walled city of Lahore, the former city centre and current Old city, the hub of city's heritage and former glory. Along with the many mosques, most notably the Badhsahi mosque, that populate this ancient city, you will also find many Sikh structures and shrines as Lahore was the site of the founding of the Sikh empire by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Apart from the unique heritage spread across the area, Lahore is famous for Pakistani street food, with the aptly named Food Street being the perfect place to begin your gastronomical journey into Pakistani cuisine.
