There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Lahore, the largest city and historic cultural centre of Pakistan’s Punjab province. If you are a history buff, then you’ll appreciate Lahore’s deep historical roots.

As the capital of Punjab province, Lahore welcomes an influx of local and international visitors every year. Thankfully, the city is equipped with a well-established public transportation network to facilitate the residents and visitors of the city.
