About Lahore
Lahore, the capital city of the Punjab province in Pakistan, is a vibrant metropolis known for its rich history, culture, and architecture. The official currency used in Lahore is the Pakistani Rupee. The city is home to iconic landmarks such as the Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, and Shalimar Gardens, showcasing Mughal-era grandeur. Visitors can explore bustling bazaars, sample delicious street food, and experience the warmth of Pakistani hospitality.
When to visit
The best time to visit Lahore is during the winter months from November to February when the weather is cool and pleasant. Summers in Lahore can be extremely hot and humid, making it uncomfortable for sightseeing. Monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall, so it's advisable to avoid these months for travel.
Getting around

The city also has a well-connected public transportation system including buses and metro trains. Walking is a great way to explore the narrow streets of the old city and discover hidden gems.
Traveller tips
When visiting Lahore, remember to dress modestly and respect local customs and traditions. It's recommended to try the local cuisine, including dishes like biryani, nihari, and kebabs. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices. Be cautious of street food hygiene and drink bottled water to stay safe. Lastly, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture by attending traditional music and dance performances.
