What heritage site it is. It's the best heritage site to be visited in lahore. Its overcrowded but its architecture is a marvel. Badshahi Mosque shows us the height of Mughal Architecture. Before you visit lahore you should be sure that you would visit Badshahi Mosque otherwise your trip would have no Charm at all.

A fairly well preserved mosque next to the fort. Next to the mosque is a museum also which has some old religious relics. I did not go in that museum.

It is a walk into the history when we visit this place. It has four Minars. Each minar is on a height of 200 feet. Overview from any minar is awesome.

Make a trip there along with the fort; ALWAYS go for a guided tour and start with fort and end at the mosque dont pay more than Rs. 1000 for a guide and tell them in advance to show you everything especially the secret underground passage in fort and special mic free surround sound in the mosque. Remember one thing... More
