4.5 Badshahi Mosque (878 reviews)
- Mesmerizing ...
Historic Sites • Religious Sites

This mosque is said to encapsulate the history of the evolution of mosques over a period of a thousand years. It is one of the rarest imposing Aurangzeb constructions and one of the biggest mosques in the world, once it is said to accommodate around 100 000 thousand people. I was taken aback by its monumental door, the huge square patio and naturally the beauty of its prayer rooms. The decorative elements are worth being noted, but mostly the overall atmosphere.

4.5 Masjid Wazir Khan (215 reviews)
- Worth being "valued" ...
Points of Interest & Landmarks

This mosque is said to have been built in 1634 AD during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shahjehan, better known as Nawab Wazir Khan, whose name it bears. The beauty of its decorative elements, despite being in need of restoration, are worth noting. They range from kash kari, tazakari, inscriptions, geometrical patterns and floral designs, to name just a few. We were happy to see that one of its minarets was being partly restored. Such an important mosque deserves to be highlighted ... and restoration is just one step to achieve that. See more..

4.5 Food Street Fort Road (71 reviews)
- Perfect View, Authentic and Safe Street, Middling Restaurants
Saturday: 6:00 PM - 12:15 AM Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

It is a street located in the area known as Old Lahore, right next to the world famous Badshahi Mosque. Especially after 20.00 in the evening, you can take postcard photos with authentic lighting. There are many restaurants on the street. You will not miss the magnificent view of the Badshahi Mosque, especially if you prefer restaurants on the terrace and facing the street. But the quality of food in these restaurants is not very good, so I recommend you only small snacks. See more..
