Walled City of Lahore
اندرون شہر
A walled old city with a thousand years of history. Narrow lanes, old houses with wooden balconies and thirteen city gates hide mosques, markets and street food.
The Walled City of Lahore (Androon Shehr) is one of the most densely populated historic districts in South Asia. Of the thirteen gates in its old city walls, several survive, including Delhi Gate, Lohari Gate and Bhati Gate. Following the Royal Trail, you can pass through the Kashmiri Bazaar, Sunehri Mosque and Wazir Khan Mosque on your way to the fort. Around Bhati Gate are the Fakir Khana Museum and a street food area. The lanes are a maze and motorbikes are everywhere, so it is best to follow the Walled City Authority's walking tours or hire a local guide. Keep an eye on your belongings and dress modestly.
