AsiaIS > Pakistan > Lahore> Introduction

L A H O R E

Lahore is the soul of Pakistan.....fashionable, artistic Lahore, where the fine art of living is refined to levels of excellence.  Lahore is a grand old city with wide streets, tree-lined vistas, beautifully laid-out Mughal gardens and buildings rubbing shoulders with old streets and medieval bazaars, reminiscent of its Islamic and colonial past. 

Now the second largest city in the country with a population of 5 million, Lahore continues to be a centre for the artistic and cultural tradition of Pakistan. Lahorians with their cultured tastes, splendidly attired women and polished men are known for their friendliness and warmth. “Lahore is Lahore” is a phrase commonly heard and is an example of Lahori pride in the uniqueness and splendour of their city.
