Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you want to visit & explore Lahore city, Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, Walled city, Lahore Museum, Shalamar Gardens, (Tomb of Jahangir, Noor Jahan, Asif Jah), Wahga border & hidden treasures of Lahore, you should touch Pakistan Guided Tours.

Maqbool is always an ideal choice for the guided tours all around Pakistan and specially for Lahore.

Needs rehabilitation but it is preserves well enough for one to imagine the lust of this place. The mirrors palace is jaw dropping. Get a guide at the entrance. He will explain where dancers were, diplomatic saloons, etc. A vast fortified palace with the mosque and fort complex. The site alone is worth a trip to Pakistan if yoh have never been to Rajasthan or Agra in India.

Lahore Fort is just outside the Badshahi mosque so can be visited at the same time. Lahore Fort appears to be a popular place to visit as it was busy with lots of locals and it’s definitely worth a visit. For a change in Pakistan, the fort and its grounds have been kept in good shape.
It was built in 1566 by Emperor Akbar and was later modified by rulers that came after. Inside the fort is a royal palace, gardens, fountains plus steps built for the hooves of elephants. There is a lot to see in different sections. Lots of guides will try and persuade you to hire them. Good luck.

We did a tour of the Fort with Nawaz (+923004644709) and it was absolutely excellent. He has wonderful knowledge of the fort complex and also manages to bring it to life with stories from history and anecdotes. We were so pleased with him that we continued tours with him over the next couple of days and he showed of aspects of Lahore we would never have found for ourselves. Highly recommended.

An amazing architectural heritage. The fort takes you back in history. Best to visit on weekdays as the weekends are over crowded. We were lucky enough to be visiting the day that a video shoot was talking place and the Shahi Qilla was lit up and the was a light show and concert.

Dating back to the early 16th century this citadel-like fort is said to have been "rebuilt" throughout the 17th century with quite a number of various different style structures added to it, which in their own right led the whole ensemble to become a UNESCO heritage site. There are quite a few our attention was drawn to because of the artistry involved in both architectural terms, as well as decorative elemrnts, such as the Nawakha pavillion with its precios stone incrusted ceiling and walls, or themajestic Picture wall featuring various mosaic, faience and frescoe made scenes, to name just a few. We spent thenwhole morning strolling around and everytime we turned around there seemed to be an outstanding "structure" to be looked at.

Can I wear shorts when I go here? I'm planning on going for a run from my hotel to the Fort, looking around for a short time, and running back. So I'd be wearing tshirt, shorts and running trainers. Last thing I would want to do is cause offence. Any advice appreciated.
Written 18 May 2019
Since you will be running on the main roads wearing shorts is not advisable. If it were a running track then there would be no problem. So it would be better if you wear track suit trousers and a Tshirt during your run from your hotel to the Fort :)
