Know before you go

Lahore is the capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the second-largest city in Pakistan after Karachi.
Historically the main city of undivided Punjab, it is often called the Garden of Mughals because of its rich Mughal heritage.
It successively served as the capital of the empires of the Shahi kingdoms in the 11th century, the Ghaznavids in the 12th century, the Ghurid State in the 12th and 13th centuries, the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, and the Sikh Empire in the early 19th century. It was the capital of the Punjab region under the British Raj in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.
Mughal structures such as the Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, Shalimar Gardens, and the mausolea of Jehangir and Nur Jehan are popular tourist attractions in the city.
Lahore is often referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan, as it is the centre of Pakistani arts, films, and intelligentsia.
