Lively
city. The main attraction of the city is its beautiful
architecture and bustling Bazaars. The tradition of
buildings is centuries old in Lahore but the Moghul (1500AD
to 1800AD) have contributed the most to it. The Moghul
buildings are probably the most attractive. On an average
one can easily spend two full days of sightseeing here.
There are numerous mosques, monuments, bazaars, evening
Musical programs and a variety of lifestyles in the city.
The Lahore Museum is the largest in the country and houses
articles from all over the country. The city is located just
25km away from the Indian border on the grand Trunk road.
This makes it a transit point before going into India from
Pakistan.
There is
a train from Lahore to Amritsar on Thursdays & Tuesdays
besides regular road transport. It is also well connected
internationally by PIA and a few Foreign carriers. There are
also regular flights from all major cities of Pakistan to
Lahore operated by 3 Private airlines and PIA. Temperature
is usually warm except in the months of January & February
when it can get a bit chilly.
